1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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) = 0.29

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.

Field Strength

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 20.43 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 shields 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 maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 200.39 N with a weight of only 75.4 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 stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø40x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 40 mm and height 8 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 20.43 kg (force ~200.39 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.
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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom modeling and adjusting to defined conditions,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Finger safety

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

No play value

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Warning for heart patients

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Handling rules

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Fire warning

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Protect data

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
