1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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

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 an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 9x3 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 epoxy glues. To ensure stability 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 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.94 kg (force ~18.99 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of accurate forming and adapting to complex needs,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Nickel allergy

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Health Danger

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Respect the power

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Heat warning

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Safe distance

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Threat to navigation

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
