Shopping tips

Cylindrical Neodymium Magnets i.e. MW 3x1 / N38 are magnets created of neodymium in a cylindrical shape. They are valued for their extremely powerful magnetic properties, which outperform traditional iron magnets. Thanks to their power, they are often employed in products that need powerful holding. The typical temperature resistance of such magnets is 80°C, but for cylindrical magnets, this temperature increases with their height. Additionally, various special coatings, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, are frequently applied to the surface of neodymium magnets to enhance their resistance to corrosion. The cylindrical shape is also one of the most popular among neodymium magnets. The magnet with the designation MW 3x1 / N38 and a magnetic lifting capacity of 0.17 kg has a weight of only 0.05 grams.
Cylindrical neodymium magnets, often referred to as Nd2Fe14B, represent the strongest known material for magnet production. The technology of their production requires a specialized approach and includes sintering special neodymium alloys with other metals such as iron and boron. After appropriate processing, such as heat and mechanical treatment, the magnets become ready for use in many applications, such as electric motors, audio-video equipment, and in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution during their handling. For this reason, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.

In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, they can damage data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not always certain.
Regarding the purchase of cylindrical neodymium magnets, many companies offer such products. One of the recommended suppliers is our company Dhit, situated in Ożarów Mazowiecki, the address is available directly in the contact tab. It's always worth visit the site for the latest information and promotions, and before visiting, we recommend calling.
Due to their strength, cylindrical neodymium magnets are useful in many applications, they can also pose certain risk. Because of their significant magnetic power, they can pull metallic objects with great force, which can lead to crushing skin as well as other materials, especially be careful with fingers. Do not use neodymium magnets near electronic devices or data storage devices, such as credit cards, as they can damage these devices in terms of magnetic recording. Furthermore, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments, therefore they are coated with a thin e.g., nickel layer. Generally, although they are handy, one should handle them with due caution.
Neodymium magnets, with the formula Nd2Fe14B, are presently the strongest available magnets on the market. They are produced through a advanced sintering process, which involves melting specific alloys of neodymium with other metals and then shaping and heat treating. Their unmatched magnetic strength comes from the exceptional production technology and chemical structure.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as epoxy, to preserve them from external factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
A cylindrical magnet with classification N50 and N52 is a powerful and highly strong metallic component in the form of a cylinder, featuring strong holding power and broad usability. Very good price, 24h delivery, stability and versatility.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

In addition to their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
  • Because of the lustrous layer of gold, the component looks high-end,
  • They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
  • With the right combination of compounds, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
  • The ability for custom shaping and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which enhances their versatility in applications,
  • Important function in advanced technical fields – they find application in computer drives, electromechanical systems, clinical machines and sophisticated instruments,
  • Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:

  • They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also strengthens its overall durability,
  • High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on height). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
  • Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is advisable to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
  • Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
  • Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the health of young users. Additionally, tiny components from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
  • High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The given holding capacity of the magnet corresponds to the highest holding force, determined in the best circumstances, that is:

  • using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
  • with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
  • with a smooth surface
  • with no separation
  • in a perpendicular direction of force
  • under standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, from crucial to less important:

  • Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
  • Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
  • Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
  • Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
  • Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
  • Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.

* Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions

Magnets made of neodymium are known for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.

Neodymium magnetic are fragile as well as will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.

Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.

Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.

Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.

Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.

Neodymium magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant swellings.

Magnets will crack or alternatively crumble with careless joining to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.

Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.

Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.

Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.

Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.

Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.

Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.

The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.

Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.

 It is important to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from children.

Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.

Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
