1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

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

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

See more proposals

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 4x8 / N38 model boasts 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. 0.35 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 3.48 N with a weight of only 0.75 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø4x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
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 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 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the ability of precise shaping and customization to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Do not underestimate power

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Allergy Warning

Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Health Danger

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Heat sensitivity

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

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Phone sensors

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Flammability

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Product not for children

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
