1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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

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.

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x35 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 9.58 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 93.97 N with a weight of only 82.47 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 20.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, 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 frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 20 mm and height 35 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 9.58 kg (force ~93.97 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom shaping as well as adjusting to atypical needs,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the limit force, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Machining danger

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We suggest wear protective gloves.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
