1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.57

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 offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x12 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 25x12 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 19.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, 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 pull force of 192.25 N with a weight of only 44.18 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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., 25.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø25x12), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø25x12 mm, which, at a weight of 44.18 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 192.25 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 44.18 g. 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 12 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • 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...
  • In view of the option of free forming and customization to custom solutions, magnetic components can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics 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

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Magnet power was defined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Serious injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Nickel coating and allergies

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Flammability

Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Keep away from computers

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Keep away from children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
