1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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.

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 4x8 / N38 model boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 3.48 N with a weight of only 0.75 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø4x8 mm, which, at a weight of 0.75 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 3.48 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.75 g. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity is determined by several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – 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 performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Maximum temperature

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

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Fire risk

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Magnetic media

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Attention! Details about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
