1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.59

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 proposals

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 4.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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 fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 45.09 N with a weight of only 5.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x6), 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 6 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 4.60 kg (force ~45.09 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 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by many variables, presented from the most important:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Bodily injuries

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

ICD Warning

Individuals with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Nickel coating and allergies

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Respect the power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

GPS and phone interference

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
