1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, 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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant 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 shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 8.43 N with a weight of only 0.42 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use 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 N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 6 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity 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 external factors, 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage 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
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering 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

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Flammability

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Medical implants

People with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Hand protection

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

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Immense force

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Keep away from computers

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

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
