1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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.

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x6 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 6x6 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.14 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction 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 brittleness of the NdFeB material, 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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.
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 grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be very high,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise modeling as well as optimizing to concrete requirements,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, ranked from crucial:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Material brittleness

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a ICD have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Respect the power

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
