1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety 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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø14.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 7.60 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast 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 successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 74.57 N with a weight of only 13.08 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø14.9x10), 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 14.9 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 7.60 kg (force ~74.57 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power 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 14.9 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By applying a shiny coating of gold, the element has an nice look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the option of flexible forming and customization to unique requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Holding force of 7.60 kg is a measurement result conducted under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, listed from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Finger safety

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

Do not give to children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Compass and GPS

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Operating temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Allergic reactions

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.
