1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31

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 offered product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø14x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 14x3 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.76 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 27.06 N with a weight of only 3.46 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 14.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% 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 (Ø14x3), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 14 mm and height 3 mm. The value of 27.06 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.46 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 14 mm. 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the option of precise molding and customization to custom requirements, magnetic components can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Implant safety

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Nickel coating and allergies

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.

Conscious usage

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

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Compass and GPS

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

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
