1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35

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 incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 40x10 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 27.73 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 271.99 N with a weight of only 94.25 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø40x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø40x10 mm, which, at a weight of 94.25 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 27.73 kg (force ~271.99 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 10 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the shiny surface of gold, the element gains visual value,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of accurate molding and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Please note that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Caution required

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Magnets are brittle

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Maximum temperature

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

This is not a toy

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Warning for heart patients

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Threat to electronics

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
