1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.13

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.

Other offers

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø18x1.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.95 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 9.34 N with a weight of only 2.86 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 (Ø18x1.5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø18x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.86 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 9.34 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.86 g. 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 1.5 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of exact machining and adapting to precise requirements,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

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

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Permanent damage

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Skin irritation risks

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Flammability

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Caution required

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

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
