1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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.

The offered product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø2x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.09 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring 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 0.86 N with a weight of only 0.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 2.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø2x4), 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 Ø2x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.09 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 0.86 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.09 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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 2 mm. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even after around 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a smooth coating of silver, the element has an aesthetic look,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Considering the possibility of accurate molding and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with zero gap (no paint)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Adults only

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Warning for allergy sufferers

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.

Dust is flammable

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Life threat

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Compass and GPS

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
