1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.31

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.

Field Strength

Other deals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x10 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 4x10 / N38 component boasts 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. 0.32 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 3.16 N with a weight of only 0.94 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 (Ø4x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.32 kg (force ~3.16 N), which, with such compact 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 4 mm. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the ability of precise forming and customization to unique projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

During everyday use, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, 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 shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Data carriers

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Danger to the youngest

These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Crushing risk

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Do not underestimate power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Flammability

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Health Danger

People with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. It is best to wear protective gloves.
