chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.45

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Other products

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø28.9x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 20.74 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 203.46 N with a weight of only 49.2 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 28.9.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 (Ø28.9x10), 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 28.9 mm and height 10 mm. The value of 203.46 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 49.2 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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 28.9 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is very high,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Holding force of 20.74 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Metal Allergy

Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. It is best to use safety gloves.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Fire risk

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Thermal limits

Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Caution required

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
