1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.16

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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.

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 20x2 / N38 model is characterized by 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 warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 20.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 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 store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x2 mm, which, at a weight of 4.71 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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 external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Fire risk

Powder created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

No play value

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Handling rules

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

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Thermal limits

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

Warning for allergy sufferers

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
