1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 0.59

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.

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x3 / N38 component features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.15 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 11.23 N with a weight of only 0.64 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use 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 are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø6x3), 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 Ø6x3 mm, which, at a weight of 0.64 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.15 kg (force ~11.23 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 6 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element has an professional look,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of individual creating as well as adapting to complex applications,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if 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 are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Conscious usage

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Nickel allergy

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

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Keep away from computers

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
