1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, 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.

Magnetic Field

Other offers

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø18.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 18.9x10 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 11.68 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 114.54 N with a weight of only 21.04 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 18.9.1 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 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 (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 value of 114.54 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 21.04 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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 18.9 mm. 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 as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during nearly ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Key role in future technologies – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • 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 as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • 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 contributes to it?

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from most significant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media

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

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Safe operation

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Machining danger

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

GPS Danger

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Keep away from children

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Medical implants

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
