1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, 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.

Field Strength

Other products

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x2.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 25x2.5 / N38 model features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.55 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing 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 pull force 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 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø25x2.5 mm, which, at a weight of 9.2 g, makes it an element with high 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 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. 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.

Pros

Besides their tremendous strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom forming as well as adjusting to concrete applications,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to 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

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Physical harm

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

Conscious usage

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Flammability

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Permanent damage

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Swallowing risk

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
