1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical 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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 20.43 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 200.39 N with a weight of only 75.4 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø40x8), 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 Ø40x8 mm, which, at a weight of 75.4 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 200.39 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 75.4 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 8 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 rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over around 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very 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...
  • Considering the potential of free forming and customization to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • 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 holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Health Danger

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

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Allergy Warning

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Pinching danger

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Handling rules

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

No play value

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
