1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.50

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø38x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 40.08 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 393.18 N with a weight of only 127.59 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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø38x15), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø38x15 mm, which, at a weight of 127.59 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 40.08 kg (force ~393.18 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the glossy surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • 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...
  • In view of the option of accurate forming and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • 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. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Keep away from children

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Impact on smartphones

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Eye protection

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

Crushing risk

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

Do not overheat magnets

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
