1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.63

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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø18x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 10.76 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 105.51 N with a weight of only 19.09 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 recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 18.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø18x10), 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 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 10.76 kg (force ~105.51 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain full power for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of individual creating and modifying to complex needs,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

During everyday use, the actual holding force is determined by a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
This is not a toy

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Data carriers

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Eye protection

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

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Respect the power

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Finger safety

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.

Magnetic interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Machining danger

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Caution! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
