1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.44

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

Other offers

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.21 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 2.10 N with a weight of only 0.05 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø3x1), 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 3 mm and height 1 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.21 kg (force ~2.10 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 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 3 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the ability of precise shaping and customization to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Data carriers

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Keep away from children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Immense force

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Implant safety

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Combustion hazard

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
