1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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

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.

This product is a very strong rod magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 4x4 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.51 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.96 N with a weight of only 0.38 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 4.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability 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 modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 4 mm. 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 power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. Such an arrangement is standard 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Please note that the working load may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed 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 slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Material brittleness

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Do not give to children

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.

Keep away from computers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Respect the power

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Keep away from electronics

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Flammability

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
