1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.11

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.44 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.29 N with a weight of only 1.33 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 15.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x1 mm, which, at a weight of 1.33 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.44 kg (force ~4.29 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 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 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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of precise forming and adaptation to specialized solutions, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis 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 lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the working load may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Thermal limits

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Threat to electronics

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Phone sensors

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