1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.61

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 7.37 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 standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 72.28 N with a weight of only 10.6 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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., 15.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x8), 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 Ø15x8 mm, which, at a weight of 10.6 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 72.28 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 10.6 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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 versatility in designing and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the peak performance, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.

Maximum temperature

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Bone fractures

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.

Threat to navigation

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not give to children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Health Danger

Individuals with a heart stimulator should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Safe operation

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
