1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp 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.

View more proposals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø14.9x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 14.9x10 / N38 component features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 7.60 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard 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 positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force 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, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø14.9x10 mm, which, at a weight of 13.08 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 74.57 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 13.08 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even after around 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Metal Allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Finger safety

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Do not give to children

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
