1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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 an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 3.48 N with a weight of only 0.75 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 stability in automation, anaerobic resins 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 excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø4x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø4x8 mm, which, at a weight of 0.75 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.35 kg (force ~3.48 N), which, with such defined 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.
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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the glossy surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the potential of free shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Physical harm

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Protective goggles

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Cards and drives

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Safe operation

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

Machining danger

Dust produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Heat sensitivity

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

Phone sensors

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Swallowing risk

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
