1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 proposals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional 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 European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. 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 low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
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 power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their 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...
  • Considering the option of precise shaping and customization to specialized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under the following configuration:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Combustion hazard

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Thermal limits

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Phone sensors

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Keep away from computers

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

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Allergic reactions

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Handling rules

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