1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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

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.

Other products

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x2 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.86 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, 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.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø6x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.42 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.86 kg (force ~8.43 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the ability of accurate molding and customization to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases 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.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks

Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend wear protective gloves.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Serious injuries

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Protective goggles

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Fire risk

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Danger to pacemakers

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

Threat to electronics

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
