1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the critical 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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø3x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 3x6 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.20 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 1.95 N with a weight of only 0.32 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 3 mm and height 6 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.20 kg (force ~1.95 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, 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 force 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. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Heat sensitivity

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Pinching danger

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Material brittleness

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Fire risk

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Impact on smartphones

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

Immense force

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.

Magnetic media

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Danger to the youngest

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
