1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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.

Other proposals

This product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.21 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 2.10 N with a weight of only 0.05 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 3.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 operational stability. If you need the strongest 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø3x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.05 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 2.10 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.05 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of precise creating and optimizing to specific applications,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Flammability

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Nickel allergy

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Magnetic media

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Precision electronics

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Respect the power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Product not for children

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
