1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44

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 incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 18.99 N with a weight of only 1.43 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating 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 high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 9 mm and height 3 mm. 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom modeling and adjusting to specific requirements,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, drive modules, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

Holding force of 1.94 kg is a measurement result conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Danger to the youngest

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Avoid contact if allergic

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Medical interference

Patients with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Dust is flammable

Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Pinching danger

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Threat to electronics

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
