1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. 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 every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 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 high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.94 kg (force ~18.99 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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 9 mm. 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 and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By covering with a lustrous layer of gold, the element presents an professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is strong,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, drive modules, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • NdFeB 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from crucial:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Cards and drives

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Maximum temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
