1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.39

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 exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø70x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 99.83 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 979.00 N with a weight of only 577.27 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø70x20), 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 70 mm and height 20 mm. The value of 979.00 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 577.27 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 70 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergic reactions

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.

Warning for heart patients

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

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Keep away from children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.

Permanent damage

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Fire warning

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Precision electronics

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

Powerful field

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Material brittleness

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Caution! More info about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
