1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp 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.

Other deals

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 4x8 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring 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 high power of 3.48 N with a weight of only 0.75 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 automation, anaerobic resins 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 8 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.35 kg (force ~3.48 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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 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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets have extremely high 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...
  • Possibility of exact forming and adjusting to individual requirements,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • 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 increases their durability
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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 very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis 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

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.35 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers

Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Magnets are brittle

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

Powerful field

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Bodily injuries

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Fire warning

Dust created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Keep away from children

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
