1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.70

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.

Magnetic Field

See more proposals

A magnetic rod is the basic element of building grate separators and magnetic filters. It is commonly used for cleaning flour, sugar, plastic granules, as well as oils and coolants. Thanks to the use of strong neodymium magnets, the rod catches even metallic dust.
The rod consists of a cover tube made of high-quality acid-resistant steel (AISI 304 or 316). Inside there is a stack of strong neodymium magnets arranged in a special configuration (magnetic circuit). Thanks to this, the rod is durable, hygienic, and easy to keep clean.
Metal filings stick to the surface very strongly, so cleaning requires strength or cleverness. You can use compressed air or special non-magnetic strippers (rings). For easier operation, it is worth considering ordering a rod in a version with a cleaning sleeve.
The more Gauss, the smaller and more weakly magnetic particles will be effectively caught. For basic machine protection against pieces of iron, standard power is sufficient. For the food and precision industry, we recommend the highest induction parameters.
We can produce a rod of non-standard length with any mounting termination. You can choose a mounting method consistent with your technical design. We ensure fast realization of special orders and technical advice.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be strong,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In practice, the real power is determined by a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergic reactions

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.

Danger to the youngest

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Protect data

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Mechanical processing

Dust created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Implant safety

People with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Serious injuries

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

Do not underestimate power

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
