1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, 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.

Other deals

The offered product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 40x8 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 20.43 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced 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 rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 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. Such an arrangement is standard 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 neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets possess huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the potential of accurate molding and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

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

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Life threat

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
