1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.63

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 an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø18x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 18x10 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 10.76 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 105.51 N with a weight of only 19.09 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø18x10), 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 Ø18x10 mm, which, at a weight of 19.09 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 10.76 kg (force ~105.51 N), which, with such compact 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
  • Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Please note that the application force may be lower depending on the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
This is not a toy

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Caution required

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
