1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.64

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.

Other products

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø70x40 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 164.24 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 1611.16 N with a weight of only 1154.54 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø70x40), 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 70 mm and height 40 mm. The value of 1611.16 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1154.54 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 70 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom shaping and optimizing to concrete needs,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy 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
  • Neodymium 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 very resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Operating temperature

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire warning

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

Handling guide

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
