1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.45

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø28.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 28.9x10 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 20.74 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, 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.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø28.9x10 mm, which, at a weight of 49.2 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. 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 protects the surface 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 as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the smooth finish of gold, the element gains a professional look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Data carriers

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

Precision electronics

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Safe operation

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Finger safety

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Flammability

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Allergy Warning

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.
