1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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

Other products

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional 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 lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power 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 brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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.
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 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • 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 individual machining as well as modifying to complex conditions,
  • Universal use in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity 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 standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Impact on smartphones

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Fire risk

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
