1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, 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.

This product is a very strong rod magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 4x8 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, 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 rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 store.
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.
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. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of silver, the element presents an proper look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of custom shaping and optimizing to concrete requirements,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In practice, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Respect the power

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.

Crushing risk

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

GPS Danger

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Combustion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
