1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.54

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.

Field Strength

Other offers

The offered product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 45x20 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 597.79 N with a weight of only 238.56 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 45.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, 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 frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø45x20), 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 45 mm and height 20 mm. The value of 597.79 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 238.56 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 20 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a shiny layer of gold, the element gains an elegant look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields 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 power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products 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 hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

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

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

In practice, the actual lifting capacity depends on a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Swallowing risk

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Magnetic media

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Danger to pacemakers

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

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Do not underestimate power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Phone sensors

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
