1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Other deals

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 40x15 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 42.64 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration 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 tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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 durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 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.
This rod magnet 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 most desirable 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a reflective coating of silver, the element has an professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the potential of free forming and adaptation to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the actual holding force is determined by a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Sensitization to coating

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

Medical interference

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Combustion hazard

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Respect the power

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
