1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety limit 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 offers

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 20x2 / N38 model features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.63 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 created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 16.02 N with a weight of only 4.71 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø20x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf 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 protects the surface 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains extremely intense,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the option of free molding and adaptation to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Operating temperature

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

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

No play value

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Data carriers

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Dust is flammable

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Warning for heart patients

Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
