chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.76

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x30 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 40x30 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 54.73 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf 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.
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 536.88 N with a weight of only 282.74 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø40x30), 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 30 mm. The value of 536.88 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 282.74 g. 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 30 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By using a decorative coating of silver, the element presents an professional look,
  • Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as adapting to defined conditions,
  • Key role in future technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power 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 rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Physical harm

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Machining danger

Dust created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Shattering risk

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

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Allergy Warning

Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Compass and GPS

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Medical implants

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

No play value

These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
