2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.55

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

View also proposals

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø55x25 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 55x25 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 92.25 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 904.94 N with a weight of only 445.47 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. 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 excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø55x25), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø55x25 mm, which, at a weight of 445.47 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 92.25 kg (force ~904.94 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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 55 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the ability of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • 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 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In real-world applications, the real power results from a number of factors, listed from most significant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Immense force

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Demagnetization risk

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Phone sensors

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

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
