chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71

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.

Other offers

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 12x8 / 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 impressive force (approx. 4.93 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 48.32 N with a weight of only 6.79 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x8), 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 Ø12x8 mm, which, at a weight of 6.79 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 48.32 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 6.79 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 8 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
  • In other words, due to the smooth surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to the ability of accurate shaping and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In practice, the actual holding force is determined by many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Safe operation

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

Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Thermal limits

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

Mechanical processing

Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Sensitization to coating

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Implant safety

Patients with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Magnetic media

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

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Finger safety

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