1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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 incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 40x30 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding 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 lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force 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 tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability 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 (Ø40x30), 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 Ø40x30 mm, which, at a weight of 282.74 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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 oxidation, 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, including:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Beware of splinters

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

Machining danger

Dust created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

Impact on smartphones

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

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
