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

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

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other offers

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø6x6 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 6x6 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.14 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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, 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 6 mm and height 6 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.14 kg (force ~11.18 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
  • The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Considering the potential of precise shaping and customization to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Key role in future technologies – they are commonly used in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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 suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

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

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity

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

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Avoid contact if allergic

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Precision electronics

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Combustion hazard

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Electronic hazard

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

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
