1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.11

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 15x1 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.44 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 4.29 N with a weight of only 1.33 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., 15.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x1), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x1 mm, which, at a weight of 1.33 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 4.29 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.33 g. 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 15 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the possibility of precise shaping and adaptation to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 very resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.44 kg is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Do not underestimate power

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Danger to pacemakers

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

Machining danger

Powder produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Heat warning

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

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Important! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
