1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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

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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 7.27 N with a weight of only 0.57 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability 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 NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation 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 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Universal use in innovative solutions – they find application in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.74 kg is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Demagnetization risk

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

Do not drill into magnets

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Swallowing risk

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Precision electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Safe operation

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

Crushing risk

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.
