1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 9x3 / N38 model is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.94 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
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., 9.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø9x3 mm, which, at a weight of 1.43 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 18.99 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.43 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 3 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer 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 have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Crushing risk

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Swallowing risk

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

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Dust is flammable

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Caution required

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

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Heat sensitivity

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Protect data

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
