1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

Other offers

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x30 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 40x30 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 54.73 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. 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 automation, anaerobic resins 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 automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 40 mm and height 30 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 54.73 kg (force ~536.88 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the possibility of precise shaping and adaptation to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Flammability

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

No play value

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Safe operation

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Sensitization to coating

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.

Electronic devices

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