1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.14

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.

Other proposals

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø38x3.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 5.09 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 49.91 N with a weight of only 29.77 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø38x3.5), 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 3.5 mm. The value of 49.91 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 29.77 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 38 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Key elements affecting lifting force

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
GPS Danger

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Handling guide

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Implant safety

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

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
