1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the critical 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.

Other offers

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced 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 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% 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 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 standard 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • 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 shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis 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

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Holding force of 60.94 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Threat to navigation

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

ICD Warning

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

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Powerful field

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.

Mechanical processing

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
