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) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.89

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.51 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.96 N with a weight of only 0.38 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority 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 (Ø4x4), 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 Ø4x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.38 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 4.96 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.38 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after around 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the shiny finish of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit huge magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and modifying to individual applications,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases 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 force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Threat to navigation

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Nickel coating and allergies

Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Safe distance

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Powerful field

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Adults only

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Power loss in heat

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Crushing risk

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Warning for heart patients

People with a pacemaker have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
