1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.61

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.

Field Strength

See also proposals

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø18.9x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 18.9x10 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 11.68 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer 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 electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 18.9 mm and height 10 mm. 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 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 18.9 mm. 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
  • 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 freedom in designing and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

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

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Permanent damage

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Adults only

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We suggest use safety gloves.
