1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, 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

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 advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 rod 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., 8.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.57 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. 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 protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1.5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • 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...
  • In view of the possibility of free molding and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Implant safety

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Adults only

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Threat to electronics

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Caution required

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Impact on smartphones

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
