1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the safety limit 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 products

The offered product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x15 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 40x15 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 42.64 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 418.33 N with a weight of only 141.37 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 40.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger 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 warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 40 mm and height 15 mm. The value of 418.33 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 141.37 g. 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they serve a role in data components, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • 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, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Immense force

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

GPS Danger

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Operating temperature

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

Medical implants

People with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.

Fire risk

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

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
