1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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

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 deals

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø38x12 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 38x12 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 32.79 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid 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 generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 321.71 N with a weight of only 102.07 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 immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø38x12 mm, which, at a weight of 102.07 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 32.79 kg (force ~321.71 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as optimizing to individual needs,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

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

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Machining danger

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Handling guide

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Product not for children

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Data carriers

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Compass and GPS

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
