1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71

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

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 4.93 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 48.32 N with a weight of only 6.79 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x8), 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 8 mm. The value of 48.32 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 6.79 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 8 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and optimizing to specific needs,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 4.93 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual holding force is determined by a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Fire warning

Dust created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Do not give to children

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Danger to pacemakers

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

Heat sensitivity

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Magnetic interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
