1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.00

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.

Magnetic Induction

Other offers

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 8x10 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.84 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 18.00 N with a weight of only 3.77 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø8x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x10 mm, which, at a weight of 3.77 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 18.00 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.77 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 10 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 rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains exceptional,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of precise modeling and optimizing to defined conditions,
  • Huge importance in electronics industry – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

During everyday use, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from the most important:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Dust explosion hazard

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

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Caution required

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Attention! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
