1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, 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

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 cylinder magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø45x20 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding 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 Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. 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 very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 45.1 mm) using 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 automation and machine building, where excessive 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 in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø45x20 mm, which, at a weight of 238.56 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. 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 external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise modeling as well as adapting to precise conditions,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Holding force of 60.94 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 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 maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Fire warning

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

Pacemakers

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

GPS Danger

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Serious injuries

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

No play value

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
