1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.16

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.

Other products

The presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x35 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 9.58 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 93.97 N with a weight of only 82.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø20x35), 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 Ø20x35 mm, which, at a weight of 82.47 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 9.58 kg (force ~93.97 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 35 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact modeling and adjusting to complex requirements,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Keep away from computers

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Product not for children

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Flammability

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