1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, 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

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.

This product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 3x6 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.20 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. 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 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 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.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø3x6 mm, which, at a weight of 0.32 g, makes it an element with impressive 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 external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 6 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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...
  • Considering the ability of precise shaping and customization to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In practice, the real power depends on a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Serious injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Caution required

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Safe distance

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Permanent damage

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Combustion hazard

Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
