1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.14

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.

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø38x3.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 5.09 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 49.91 N with a weight of only 29.77 g, this rod 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, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
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 external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 3.5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual forming and adapting to complex needs,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Health Danger

Individuals with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Metal Allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.

Swallowing risk

These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Attention! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
