1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.44

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.

The offered product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 6x2 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.86 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 8.43 N with a weight of only 0.42 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø6x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.42 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.86 kg (force ~8.43 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is very high,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the potential of free shaping and customization to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?
The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
Bear in mind that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Safe operation

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Operating temperature

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Bone fractures

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Life threat

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Threat to electronics

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Nickel allergy

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
