Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum working temperature of a disc magnet?

Standard N-series grades work up to 80 °C. Grades N50, N52 and N54 have a lower limit of 60 °C, because coercivity falls as BHmax rises. Higher temperatures require the H (120 °C), SH (150 °C), UH (180 °C), EH (200 °C) or AH (230 °C) series. Within the working range the magnet loses about 0.11% of its induction per degree, and that loss is reversible.

What is the difference between N38, N42 and N52?

The number after N is the energy product BHmax. Moving from N38 to N52 raises it by several tens of percent, but the real holding force increases by roughly 20%, because force also depends on geometry and on the magnetic circuit. N52 costs about twice as much as N42, so for most mounting work N38–N42 is the best price-to-force ratio.

What is the dimensional tolerance?

±0.1 mm as standard, ±0.05 mm to order. The tolerance is stated next to the dimensions on every product page.

Grip strength drops drastically with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, veneer) strongly weakens the grip. Magnets hold most effectively during direct contact; air break drastically cuts the force. Notice how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When calculating the mounting, discard unnecessary gaps.

This section indicates the approximate shear load needed to cause the shifting of the magnet downwards on a upright steel wall (considering standard friction coefficient). The holding force depends on the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 6x6 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.34 kg / 0.75 lbs 342.0 g / 3.4 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.23 kg / 0.50 lbs 228.0 g / 2.2 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.11 kg / 0.25 lbs 114.0 g / 1.1 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.57 kg / 1.26 lbs 570.0 g / 5.6 N

When mounting a magnet on a upright wall (e.g., a car body), it you can count on barely approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient mean that holders move down easier than they pull off. Want to create a wall mount? Note that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will slip down under a significantly smaller load. Using a rubber pad can drastically raise the stability.

Table 4: Material efficiency (saturation) - sheet metal selection
MW 6x6 / N38

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)
0.5 mm	10%	0.11 kg / 0.25 lbs 114.0 g / 1.1 N
1 mm	25%	0.29 kg / 0.63 lbs 285.0 g / 2.8 N
2 mm	50%	0.57 kg / 1.26 lbs 570.0 g / 5.6 N
3 mm	75%	0.86 kg / 1.88 lbs 855.0 g / 8.4 N
5 mm	100%	1.14 kg / 2.51 lbs 1140.0 g / 11.2 N
10 mm	100%	1.14 kg / 2.51 lbs 1140.0 g / 11.2 N
11 mm	100%	1.14 kg / 2.51 lbs 1140.0 g / 11.2 N
12 mm	100%	1.14 kg / 2.51 lbs 1140.0 g / 11.2 N

A thin metal plate is unable to take in the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the field will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize full efficiency of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick backing of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Classic neodymiums lose strength past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can permanently damage this magnet. With increasing heat, the neodymium's force briefly lowers. Avoid using this magnet close to heaters higher than its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will cause permanent loss of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table points to permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel setup. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a further horizon of performance. Want to build a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Figures demonstrate friction force of dual same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Extremely neodym field poses a real danger to IT equipment and medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Dynamics (kinetic energy) - warning

100 mm	16.71 km/h (4.64 m/s)	0.01 J

NdFeB products are very brittle – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to skin. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely 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 P_c (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 P_c (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 P_c 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 a very strong cylinder magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.14 kg), this product is in stock 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 perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 11.18 N with a weight of only 1.27 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.

Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 store.

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 protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 6 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 as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They do not lose magnetism, even after approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
By using a smooth coating of gold, the element acquires an nice look,
Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
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 ability of accurate molding and customization to custom requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
Significant place in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 extremely resistant to heat
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, namely:

with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
characterized by lack of roughness
under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at ambient temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Please note that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:

Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets

Product not for children

These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Impact on smartphones

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Dust is flammable

Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Magnetic media

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Do not underestimate power
