1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.27

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 cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 7.27 N with a weight of only 0.57 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability 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 the majority 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 (Ø8x1.5), 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 8 mm and height 1.5 mm. The value of 7.27 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.57 g. 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 8 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By using a lustrous layer of silver, the element presents an modern look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Do not give to children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Flammability

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Magnet fragility

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

Threat to electronics

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

GPS Danger

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Health Danger

People with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Heat sensitivity

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
