1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the safety 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 a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x6 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.14 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 6.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø6x6 mm, which, at a weight of 1.27 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.14 kg (force ~11.18 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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. 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 neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets are characterized by huge 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...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage 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
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in 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

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Holding efficiency is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Adults only

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Nickel coating and allergies

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.

Pacemakers

Patients with a ICD have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Impact on smartphones

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Flammability

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

Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Do not underestimate power

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
