1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

Other deals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, made from advanced 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 professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 11.68 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 114.54 N with a weight of only 21.04 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., 18.9.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø18.9x10 mm, which, at a weight of 21.04 g, makes it an element with impressive 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • 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 detailed modeling as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Warning for heart patients

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Precision electronics

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Fire warning

Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Metal Allergy

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. We suggest wear protective gloves.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
