1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.37

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 presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x4 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 4.22 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 41.38 N with a weight of only 5.3 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø15x4), 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 Ø15x4 mm, which, at a weight of 5.3 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 4.22 kg (force ~41.38 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to customize to client solutions,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the working load may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Dust is flammable

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

Respect the power

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Hand protection

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

ICD Warning

People with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Danger to the youngest

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Threat to navigation

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Permanent damage

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
