1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44

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 extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø29.9x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 21.50 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 210.90 N with a weight of only 52.66 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 29.9.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø29.9x10), 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 29.9 mm and height 10 mm. The value of 210.90 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 52.66 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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. 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • 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, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Do not give to children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Material brittleness

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

Operating temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Immense force

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

ICD Warning

Patients with a heart stimulator should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Fire warning

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Hand protection

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
