1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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.

Field Strength

See more deals

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 25x2.5 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.55 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, 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 rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive 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 value of 25.03 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 9.2 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even after around ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of accurate shaping and adaptation to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a heart stimulator should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

GPS Danger

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Handling rules

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
