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

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.

Field Strength

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 40x30 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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 warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force 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 recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 40.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme 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 high 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 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains exceptional,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Health Danger

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Threat to navigation

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

Heat warning

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Immense force

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Nickel allergy

Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Cards and drives

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