1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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 offers

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 3x6 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.20 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 1.95 N with a weight of only 0.32 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 3.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø3x6), 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 Ø3x6 mm, which, at a weight of 0.32 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 1.95 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.32 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is extremely intense,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed forming as well as adjusting to complex needs,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since 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, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Bodily injuries

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Caution required

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Machining danger

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Medical implants

Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Adults only

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
