Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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.

Other offers

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø40x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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 warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, 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 cylindrical magnet 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 immediate cracking of this professional 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 frequently chosen standard for professional 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 in continuous sale 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 holding force 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.
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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as adjusting to atypical applications,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
No play value

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Conscious usage

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Pacemakers

Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Crushing force

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
