1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

Field Strength

Other deals

The offered product is a very strong rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø55x25 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal 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 warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself 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 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
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 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 secures it against external factors, 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. 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 and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the glossy layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can 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 hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on a number of factors, presented from the most important:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Protective goggles

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Danger to pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Caution required

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Do not drill into magnets

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Do not give to children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Compass and GPS

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
