1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø2x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.09 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 0.86 N with a weight of only 0.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability 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 (Ø2x4), 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 2 mm and height 4 mm. 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 secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest 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 secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity is determined by many variables, presented from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Protective goggles

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Cards and drives

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Immense force

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
