1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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.

Other proposals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø28.9x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features a tolerance 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 in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 203.46 N with a weight of only 49.2 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional 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.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation 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 in continuous sale 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 impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 20.74 kg (force ~203.46 N), which, with such compact 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 cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is most desirable when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 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 usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Handling rules

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Nickel allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Fire warning

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Threat to navigation

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

This is not a toy

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Heat sensitivity

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
