1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.48

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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 42.64 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its 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 high power of 418.33 N with a weight of only 141.37 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 40.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø40x15), 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 40 mm and height 15 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 42.64 kg (force ~418.33 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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 40 mm. 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.

Advantages

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed shaping and optimizing to concrete conditions,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Choking Hazard

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Implant safety

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Dust is flammable

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Caution required

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Electronic devices

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
