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

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

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.

Other products

This product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 4.22 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x4 mm, which, at a weight of 5.3 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.22 kg (force ~41.38 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact forming and modifying to atypical requirements,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency is affected by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Conscious usage

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Swallowing risk

Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Dust is flammable

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

Physical harm

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