1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.63

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 a very strong cylinder magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø16x9 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 16x9 / N38 component features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 8.53 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 83.64 N with a weight of only 13.57 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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., 16.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø16x9), 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 Ø16x9 mm, which, at a weight of 13.57 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 8.53 kg (force ~83.64 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 9 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
  • In other words, due to the shiny finish of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of flexible molding and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – 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 – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces 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, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Conscious usage

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Swallowing risk

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

Fire warning

Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.

Permanent damage

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

Threat to navigation

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.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
