Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.55

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.

Magnetic Induction

Check out more offers

The offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø55x25 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 92.25 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction 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 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., 55.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular 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 (Ø55x25), 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 55 mm and height 25 mm. The value of 904.94 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 445.47 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 25 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the ability of free forming and adaptation to individualized needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • 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
  • Neodymium magnets lose 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower depending on the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.

Finger safety

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

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Immense force

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Permanent damage

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

Flammability

Dust created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
