1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.16

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent 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 rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 25.03 N with a weight of only 9.2 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø25x2.5), 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 Ø25x2.5 mm, which, at a weight of 9.2 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.55 kg (force ~25.03 N), which, with such compact 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.
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. 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 and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of exact machining as well as modifying to precise conditions,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, 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 lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnet fragility

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

Magnetic media

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Choking Hazard

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Finger safety

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

People with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Caution required

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
