1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.79

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.

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x8 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 3.38 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 33.16 N with a weight of only 4.71 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x8 mm, which, at a weight of 4.71 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 33.16 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 4.71 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 10 mm. 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 as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • By using a lustrous layer of gold, the element acquires an nice look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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 custom machining as well as modifying to concrete requirements,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, 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.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

No play value

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Keep away from electronics

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Handling guide

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
