1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.51 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.96 N with a weight of only 0.38 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 professional component. 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.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen 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 (Ø4x4), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
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 key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.51 kg (force ~4.96 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Key role in future technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by many variables, listed from most significant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Do not drill into magnets

Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Immense force

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Hand protection

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

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Caution! Details about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
