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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Magnetic Induction

View more products

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 597.79 N with a weight of only 238.56 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial 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 in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø45x20 mm, which, at a weight of 238.56 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 60.94 kg (force ~597.79 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnets are distinguished by maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the working load may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Handling guide

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Material brittleness

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Compass and GPS

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

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.
