1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 15x4 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 4.22 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 41.38 N with a weight of only 5.3 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability 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 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 15 mm and height 4 mm. The value of 41.38 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 5.3 g. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • 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 the option of flexible forming and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), because 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 dirt).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Machining danger

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.

Handling guide

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

Medical interference

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

GPS Danger

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