1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27

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.

Other offers

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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 magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 7.27 N with a weight of only 0.57 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø8x1.5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 1.5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.74 kg (force ~7.27 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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 8 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity is determined by many variables, listed from most significant:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Fire risk

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

Medical interference

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Bone fractures

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Powerful field

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Power loss in heat

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

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.
