1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.37

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.

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 15x4 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 4.22 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 41.38 N with a weight of only 5.3 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x4), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 15 mm and height 4 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.22 kg (force ~41.38 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. 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 15 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of free shaping and adaptation to custom needs, magnetic components can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and select encased magnets.

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Safe operation

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a ICD must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
