1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50

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 proposals

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø50x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 70.10 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 687.66 N with a weight of only 294.52 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 50.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø50x20), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø50x20 mm, which, at a weight of 294.52 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 687.66 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 294.52 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 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result executed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

During everyday use, the real power depends on several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Heat warning

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Threat to navigation

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Immense force

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Allergy Warning

Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to wear protective gloves.
