1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, 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 a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial 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 warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. 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 low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø40x15 mm, which, at a weight of 141.37 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. 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 protects the surface 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. 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 rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the option of precise molding and customization to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, 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 standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Handling guide

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Electronic devices

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
