1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.16

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.

Other offers

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 25x2.5 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.55 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 25.03 N with a weight of only 9.2 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough 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 (Ø25x2.5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 25 mm and height 2.5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.55 kg (force ~25.03 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 2.5 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of gold, the element acquires an elegant look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • 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...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Product not for children

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Crushing force

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

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Data carriers

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Operating temperature

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

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
