1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically 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) = 0.61

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.

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø18.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 11.68 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 114.54 N with a weight of only 21.04 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. 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.
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 (Ø18.9x10), 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 Ø18.9x10 mm, which, at a weight of 21.04 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 11.68 kg (force ~114.54 N), which, with such defined 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 10 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the ability of accurate molding and adaptation to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in hard drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements 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

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – 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 suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Phone sensors

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Do not drill into magnets

Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Skin irritation risks

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Data carriers

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.

Caution! Details about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
