1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.35

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 6.93 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 67.95 N with a weight of only 11.78 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø20x5), 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 Ø20x5 mm, which, at a weight of 11.78 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 6.93 kg (force ~67.95 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the potential of free shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's 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.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with zero gap (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Heat warning

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Phone sensors

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Life threat

Patients with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Handling rules

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
