1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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 a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.35 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf 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.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% 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 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. 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 and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is strong,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower depending on the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Swallowing risk

Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Handling rules

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Thermal limits

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Medical interference

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Sensitization to coating

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Crushing force

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Machining danger

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