1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.48

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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 42.64 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, 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 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 chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability 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 the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø40x15), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf 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 compact 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.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of precise shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit 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 slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Product not for children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Material brittleness

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

Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Physical harm

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
