1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44

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.

Other products

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø3x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.21 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening 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 electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, 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 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 store.
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 protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise forming as well as optimizing to defined requirements,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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
  • 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 prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Magnet power was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on a number of factors, listed from most significant:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Handling rules

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

Skin irritation risks

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Electronic hazard

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Magnetic interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
