1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.81

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The Pc (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher Pc value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

Other products

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 4.83 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 47.41 N with a weight of only 8.48 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 12 mm and height 10 mm. The value of 47.41 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 8.48 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 12 mm. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed shaping as well as adapting to precise conditions,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Medical interference

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Do not drill into magnets

Dust created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Respect the power

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
