1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits 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) = 1.55

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø2x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 2x10 / 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. 0.07 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 0.70 N with a weight of only 0.24 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø2x10), 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 Ø2x10 mm, which, at a weight of 0.24 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 0.70 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.24 g. 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even during around 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the option of flexible forming and adaptation to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, presented from most significant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Magnetic interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Fire warning

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.

Material brittleness

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Health Danger

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
