1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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

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 products

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x35 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 20x35 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 9.58 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, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 93.97 N with a weight of only 82.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
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 value of 93.97 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 82.47 g. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.

Health Danger

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Physical harm

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Conscious usage

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Adults only

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire risk

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
