1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.45

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 exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø29x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 20.82 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 204.22 N with a weight of only 49.54 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel 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 (Ø29x10), 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 29 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 20.82 kg (force ~204.22 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 29 mm. Such an arrangement is standard 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the possibility of precise molding and customization to custom requirements, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power 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 and corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Life threat

People with a heart stimulator have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Caution required

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Choking Hazard

These products are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Protect data

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Impact on smartphones

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Maximum temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
