1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit 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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 12x10 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 4.83 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 47.41 N with a weight of only 8.48 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 12.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 12 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.83 kg (force ~47.41 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit very high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of free forming and customization to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they are utilized in data components, drive modules, medical devices, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Handling guide

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.

Compass and GPS

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Attention! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
