1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 597.79 N with a weight of only 238.56 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 warehouse.
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 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 45 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the smooth layer of gold, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is strong,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate creating as well as adapting to individual conditions,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength refers to the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Machining danger

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Demagnetization risk

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Warning for heart patients

Individuals with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Allergic reactions

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.

Caution required

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Physical harm

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Warning! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
