1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.61

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.

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 15x8 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 7.37 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 72.28 N with a weight of only 10.6 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 15 mm and height 8 mm. 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.
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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of silver, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains very high,
  • 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 exact modeling and adapting to defined conditions,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

GPS Danger

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Conscious usage

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Health Danger

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Fire warning

Dust generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Avoid contact if allergic

A percentage of the population have a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. It is best to use safety gloves.
