1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.76

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x30 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 40x30 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod 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 effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening 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 miniature devices 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 stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation 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 warehouse.
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 protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of accurate shaping and adjusting to precise conditions,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Holding force of 54.73 kg is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Skin irritation risks

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Safe distance

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Magnetic interference

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Combustion hazard

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Conscious usage

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