1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.44

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other offers

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x2 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.86 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 8.43 N with a weight of only 0.42 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 6.1 mm) using two-component 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.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% 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 (Ø6x2), 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 6 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 8.43 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.42 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the possibility of free forming and adaptation to custom projects, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • 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 improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

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

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Conscious usage

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Swallowing risk

Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Material brittleness

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

Attention! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
