*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the safety limit 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.

The offered product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø55x25 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 55x25 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding 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. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 904.94 N with a weight of only 445.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 55.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 55 mm and height 25 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force 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 secures it against external factors, 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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and optimizing to atypical applications,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
GPS and phone interference

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Safe distance

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

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Hand protection

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

Conscious usage

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Mechanical processing

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