1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, 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 presented product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø20x35 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 9.58 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, 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 rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 20 mm and height 35 mm. 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 cylinder 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

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to customize to specific needs,
  • Key role in future technologies – they are commonly used in data components, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, measured under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Handling rules

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Choking Hazard

These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Sensitization to coating

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We suggest wear protective gloves.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
