1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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) = 0.37

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x4 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 15x4 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional 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 triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 41.38 N with a weight of only 5.3 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x4 mm, which, at a weight of 5.3 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity 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 external factors, 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains 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...
  • Possibility of precise machining as well as adjusting to atypical conditions,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing conducted under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

During everyday use, the real power results from many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Dust is flammable

Dust generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Danger to the youngest

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Conscious usage

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Fragile material

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

Threat to navigation

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
