1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect 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 quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 200.39 N with a weight of only 75.4 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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.
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 rod magnet 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.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of precise forming and adaptation to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At 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.
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • 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 maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Pinching danger

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Pacemakers

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

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Keep away from children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Combustion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
