1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x35 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 20x35 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 93.97 N with a weight of only 82.47 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 20.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 20 mm and height 35 mm. 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 protects the surface against external factors, 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. 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even during approximately ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

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

The declared magnet strength concerns the peak performance, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Power loss in heat

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Safe distance

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

GPS Danger

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Fire warning

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Implant safety

Patients with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.

Finger safety

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Handling rules

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

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Do not give to children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Safety First! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
