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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm 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 in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, 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 generators, 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 every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling 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 available off-the-shelf 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 protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • 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 freedom in forming and the ability to customize to client solutions,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Medical implants

People with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Dust is flammable

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Handling rules

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Nickel coating and allergies

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
