1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical 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.

Other products

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø28.9x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 28.9x10 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent 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 European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing 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 pull force of 203.46 N with a weight of only 49.2 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way 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 are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 20.74 kg (force ~203.46 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of individual modeling and optimizing to complex requirements,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, including:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, listed from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Power loss in heat

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

Powerful field

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Life threat

People with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Swallowing risk

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Compass and GPS

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Crushing force

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
