1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.20

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.

Other offers

This product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.51 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical 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 positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 14.84 N with a weight of only 2.65 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way 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 automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x2), 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 15 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 14.84 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.65 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
  • Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the possibility of flexible molding and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can 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 holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Combustion hazard

Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Avoid contact if allergic

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Pacemakers

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

No play value

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
