Shopping tips

Neodymium Cylindrical Magnets min. MW 20x18 / N38 are magnets created of neodymium in a cylinder form. They are known for their extremely powerful magnetic properties, which exceed ordinary iron magnets. Because of their strength, they are often employed in devices that require strong adhesion. The typical temperature resistance of such magnets is 80°C, but for cylindrical magnets, this temperature increases with the growth of the magnet. Moreover, various special coatings, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, are frequently applied to the surface of neodymium magnets to enhance their durability to corrosion. The shape of a cylinder is as well one of the most popular among neodymium magnets. The magnet named MW 20x18 / N38 with a magnetic strength 19.91 kg has a weight of only 42.41 grams.
Cylindrical neodymium magnets, also known as Nd2Fe14B, are the strongest known material for magnet production. The technology of their production requires a specialized approach and includes sintering special neodymium alloys with other metals such as iron and boron. After appropriate processing, such as heat and mechanical treatment, the magnets become ready for use in many applications, including electric motors, audio-video equipment, and in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a coating of epoxy to increase their durability. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.

In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Furthermore, they can damage data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not guaranteed.
Regarding the purchase of cylindrical neodymium magnets, many companies offer such products. One of the suggested suppliers is our company Dhit, situated in Ożarów Mazowiecki, the address is available directly in the contact tab. It is recommended to check the website for the latest information and promotions, and before visiting, we recommend calling.
Due to their power, cylindrical neodymium magnets are practical in many applications, they can also pose certain risk. Because of their strong magnetic power, they can attract metallic objects with great force, which can lead to damaging skin as well as other materials, especially fingers. Do not use neodymium magnets near equipment or data storage devices, such as credit cards, as they can destroy these devices in terms of magnetic recording. Moreover, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments, therefore they are coated with a thin e.g., nickel layer. Generally, although they are very useful, they should be handled carefully.
Neodymium magnets, with the formula Nd2Fe14B, are currently the strong magnets on the market. They are produced through a advanced sintering process, which involves melting special alloys of neodymium with other metals and then shaping and heat treating. Their unmatched magnetic strength comes from the specific production technology and chemical composition.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
A cylindrical neodymium magnet with classification N50 and N52 is a powerful and strong magnetic piece shaped like a cylinder, providing strong holding power and universal applicability. Attractive price, availability, stability and universal usability.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

  • They retain their full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
  • By applying a shiny layer of silver, the element gains a modern look,
  • They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
  • Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
  • The ability for precise shaping and adjustment to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which enhances their versatility in applications,
  • Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in data storage devices, electric drives, medical equipment and sophisticated instruments,
  • Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in tiny dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

  • They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and enhances its overall strength,
  • High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on form). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
  • Magnets exposed to humidity can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of coated materials,
  • Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
  • Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the family environments. Moreover, miniature parts from these devices have the potential to complicate medical imaging when ingested,
  • Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The given holding capacity of the magnet corresponds to the highest holding force, calculated in the best circumstances, namely:

  • with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
  • with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
  • with a polished side
  • with no separation
  • with vertical force applied
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, from primary to secondary:

  • Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
  • Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
  • Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
  • Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
  • Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
  • Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.

* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.

Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a serious injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a significant pressure or a fracture.

Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.

Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.

Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.

Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.

Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.

Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.

The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.

Studies clearly indicate a small percentage of people who suffer from metal allergies such as nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnetic are especially delicate, which leads to their breakage.

In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.

  Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest children.

Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.

People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.

Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.

Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.

Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.

Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.

Exercise caution!
