1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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) = 0.42

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø38x12 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 38x12 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 32.79 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick 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.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 321.71 N with a weight of only 102.07 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø38x12), 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 38 mm and height 12 mm. The value of 321.71 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 102.07 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 12 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element acquires an nice look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to customize to complex applications,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

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

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

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 lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Conscious usage

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Pinching danger

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

ICD Warning

Patients with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Precision electronics

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

No play value

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
