1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

Other products

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 45x20 / N38 component 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 significant force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring 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 high power of 597.79 N with a weight of only 238.56 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 45.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 45 mm and height 20 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity 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 protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual modeling and modifying to individual conditions,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Precision electronics

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Mechanical processing

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Handling rules

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
