1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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 presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø2x4 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 2x4 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.09 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created 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 0.86 N with a weight of only 0.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø2x4), 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 Ø2x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.09 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.09 kg (force ~0.86 N), which, with such defined 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.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the smooth layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of free molding and adaptation to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Holding force of 0.09 kg is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – 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 was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Handling guide

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Life threat

People with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Allergy Warning

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Flammability

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

Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
