1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Pulling force

Field Strength

Other products

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø50x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 50x20 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 70.10 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 687.66 N with a weight of only 294.52 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 50 mm and height 20 mm. 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 secures it 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 50 mm. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise creating as well as modifying to concrete conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong 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
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Real force impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
ICD Warning

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

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Handling guide

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

Do not drill into magnets

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Crushing risk

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not overheat magnets

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