1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 20.43 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use 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.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 20.43 kg (force ~200.39 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • By applying a decorative layer of silver, the element gains an nice look,
  • Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of custom modeling as well as adjusting to individual applications,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Finger safety

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Life threat

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

Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Product not for children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Combustion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and select encased magnets.
