1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.16

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 proposals

The offered product is a very strong rod magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.63 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick 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.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 16.02 N with a weight of only 4.71 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø20x2), 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 20 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 16.02 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 4.71 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 20 mm. 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface looks better,
  • Magnets exhibit very high magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Universal use in innovative solutions – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Allergy Warning

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.

ICD Warning

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Impact on smartphones

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Handling guide

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
