1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89

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.

This product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.14 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 11.18 N with a weight of only 1.27 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 6.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade 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 (Ø6x6), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 6 mm and height 6 mm. The value of 11.18 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.27 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 standard 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • By using a reflective layer of nickel, the element has an modern look,
  • Magnets exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Heat sensitivity

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Danger to the youngest

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Dust is flammable

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Magnetic interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
