1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71

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.

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.30 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 2.99 N with a weight of only 0.11 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø3x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 3 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.30 kg (force ~2.99 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise machining as well as adjusting to concrete requirements,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. 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 suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, including:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
GPS Danger

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Handling guide

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Choking Hazard

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Crushing risk

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

Magnets are brittle

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