1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.16

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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.55 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick 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.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, 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 low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, 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 long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 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 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 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. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very 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...
  • Possibility of individual forming as well as modifying to complex needs,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest casing - 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, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 2.55 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters 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 checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Bodily injuries

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Magnet fragility

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

GPS Danger

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Health Danger

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Flammability

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Electronic devices

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Handling guide

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Heat warning

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Nickel coating and allergies

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
