1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Pulling force


Magnetic Induction

View also deals

The presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x12 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 25x12 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 19.60 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. 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.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. 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.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø25x12 mm, which, at a weight of 44.18 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 19.60 kg (force ~192.25 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade 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 25 mm. Such an arrangement is standard 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is impressive,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
  • Huge importance in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, obtained under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Conscious usage

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Thermal limits

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Health Danger

People with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Mechanical processing

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

No play value

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
