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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø9x3 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 9x3 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.94 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, 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 rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 9.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation 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 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. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the metallic finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • 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 constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the real power results from a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Mechanical processing

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Keep away from children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Caution required

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Medical interference

People with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Heat sensitivity

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
