1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp 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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 8x1.5 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer 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 7.27 N with a weight of only 0.57 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision 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 high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.57 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to modify to specific needs,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are commonly used in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – 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).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Metal Allergy

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
