1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 60.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 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 holding force amounting to approximately 60.94 kg (force ~597.79 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of flexible shaping and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in HDD drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and 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. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Medical implants

Individuals with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Safe operation

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

Mechanical processing

Dust produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Adults only

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.

Nickel coating and allergies

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Hand protection

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
