1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.61

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable 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 industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 7.37 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 72.28 N with a weight of only 10.6 g, this cylindrical magnet 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 chipping the coating of this professional component. 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 NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation 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 in continuous sale 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 secures it 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. 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even during approximately 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
  • By covering with a shiny coating of gold, the element presents an elegant look,
  • Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate modeling and optimizing to concrete applications,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Brittleness 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 raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can 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 can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the real power depends on a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Immense force

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Machining danger

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Health Danger

Patients with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Adults only

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

Protect data

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

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Attention! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
