1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 0.45

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.

The offered product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø28.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 20.74 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 203.46 N with a weight of only 49.2 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 28.9 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 20.74 kg (force ~203.46 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 10 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the ability to customize to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Holding force of 20.74 kg is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Health Danger

Individuals with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Do not underestimate power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Do not give to children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Pinching danger

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Fire warning

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Magnetic interference

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
