1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Magnetic Induction

Other offers

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet 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 Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal 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 electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method 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, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 impressive 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 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual shaping and adjusting to complex requirements,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the application force will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Keep away from computers

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Respect the power

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

GPS and phone interference

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
