1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.31

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.

Magnetic Field

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø14x3 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 2.76 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring 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 pull force of 27.06 N with a weight of only 3.46 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 14.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø14x3), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 14 mm and height 3 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.76 kg (force ~27.06 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 mm. 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • By using a reflective layer of gold, the element has an aesthetic look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on many variables, presented from crucial:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Immense force

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Health Danger

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Crushing force

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Threat to electronics

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Product not for children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Fire warning

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
