1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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 a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. 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 cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, 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 maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 597.79 N with a weight of only 238.56 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 stability in automation, 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 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 store.
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 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. 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

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • By applying a smooth layer of nickel, the element gains an modern look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the potential of accurate molding and customization to individualized projects, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage 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 increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process 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 can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 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.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Handling rules

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Crushing risk

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

This is not a toy

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
