1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59

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.

Field Strength

See more proposals

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.15 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 11.23 N with a weight of only 0.64 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 6 mm and height 3 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.15 kg (force ~11.23 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 3 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as adapting to individual requirements,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Caution required

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Medical implants

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
