Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.49

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 offers

The offered product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x50 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.62 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 25.73 N with a weight of only 42.41 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x50), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x50 mm, which, at a weight of 42.41 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 25.73 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 42.41 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact modeling and modifying to concrete conditions,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached 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).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Threat to electronics

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Power loss in heat

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

No play value

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

Fire warning

Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
