1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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 incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 10x8 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 3.38 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 33.16 N with a weight of only 4.71 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision 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 NdFeB grade N38 are suitable 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 (Ø10x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 8 mm. 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.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 8 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 3.38 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
GPS Danger

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Mechanical processing

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

Do not give to children

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Electronic hazard

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Caution required

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Allergic reactions

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.

Heat warning

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Material brittleness

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
