1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.12

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 offered product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x1.5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.97 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer 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 pull force of 9.50 N with a weight of only 3.53 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 20.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø20x1.5), 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 Ø20x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 3.53 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 9.50 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.53 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the possibility of free forming and adaptation to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Key elements affecting lifting force

Please note that the magnet holding will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not give to children

Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We recommend use protective gloves.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Respect the power

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
