1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

The presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 4.83 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 47.41 N with a weight of only 8.48 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 12.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability 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 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme 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 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 key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.83 kg (force ~47.41 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
  • By covering with a smooth layer of silver, the element presents an professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of precise shaping and customization to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Dust is flammable

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Magnetic interference

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Swallowing risk

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Conscious usage

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Nickel allergy

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

Crushing risk

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Protect data

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

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