1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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

Other proposals

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 45x20 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, 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.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø45x20 mm, which, at a weight of 238.56 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. 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 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the option of flexible molding and customization to unique needs, magnetic components can be modeled in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in data components, electric motors, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power was defined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

H&S for magnets
GPS Danger

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Sensitization to coating

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Handling guide

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

Product not for children

Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Serious injuries

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
