1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the safety limit 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 an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability 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 quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 field concentration 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 electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 4.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, 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 90% of applications in modeling 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 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 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 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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • 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, as well as 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 during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

Magnet power was defined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In practice, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from crucial:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Flammability

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Adults only

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Metal Allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Impact on smartphones

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Power loss in heat

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Bone fractures

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
