Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum working temperature of a disc magnet?
Standard N-series grades work up to 80 °C. Grades N50, N52 and N54 have a lower limit of 60 °C, because coercivity falls as BHmax rises. Higher temperatures require the H (120 °C), SH (150 °C), UH (180 °C), EH (200 °C) or AH (230 °C) series. Within the working range the magnet loses about 0.11% of its induction per degree, and that loss is reversible.
What is the difference between N38, N42 and N52?
The number after N is the energy product BHmax. Moving from N38 to N52 raises it by several tens of percent, but the real holding force increases by roughly 20%, because force also depends on geometry and on the magnetic circuit. N52 costs about twice as much as N42, so for most mounting work N38–N42 is the best price-to-force ratio.
What is the dimensional tolerance?
±0.1 mm as standard, ±0.05 mm to order. The tolerance is stated next to the dimensions on every product page.

Pulling power decreases significantly with every mm of gap. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) significantly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally during direct contact; distance nullifies the power. Notice how quickly the pull force plummet, when the product does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When planning the mounting, avoid redundant distances.

The table below defines the theoretical shear load sufficient to initiate the slippage of the magnet vertically along a vertical steel plate (considering typical friction). The holding force is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

When hanging a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a board), it will maintain only approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip cause that holders slip easier than they pull off. Want to create a hanger? Note that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the holder will slide down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized layer can significantly increase the grip.

A thin metal plate is incapable of take in the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize 100% of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the product works worse. We suggest choosing the steel dimension according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose strength above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – excessive heat can permanently destroy this product. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this product close to ovens higher than its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in destruction of magnetism.
*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties sooner than long magnets. Red status in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a larger range of operation. Want to build a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Important: Results refer to shear force of two same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to electronic devices as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Remember: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and housings. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with powerful specimens.

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.44

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.

This product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 9x3 / N38 component features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 18.99 N with a weight of only 1.43 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 9.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. 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 NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø9x3), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 9 mm and height 3 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.94 kg (force ~18.99 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 9 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • 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 secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the maximum value, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the application force may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Medical interference

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Dust is flammable

Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Phone sensors

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Thermal limits

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Immense force

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
