1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 4x8 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 cylindrical magnet 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 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.
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 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 impressive 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 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. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, including:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from crucial:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Do not underestimate power

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Product not for children

Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.

Fire warning

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Pacemakers

People with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

GPS and phone interference

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
