1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the critical 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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x3 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding 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 lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 11.23 N with a weight of only 0.64 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 long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 holding force 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 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of free shaping and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the magnet holding will differ influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

GPS and phone interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Product not for children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Mechanical processing

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
