1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.19

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 incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.47 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick 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.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 14.45 N with a weight of only 5.65 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough 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 (Ø8x15), 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 Ø8x15 mm, which, at a weight of 5.65 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 14.45 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 5.65 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose force 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 very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In practice, the real power results from a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Electronic devices

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Avoid contact if allergic

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

No play value

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Thermal limits

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