1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.47 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 14.45 N with a weight of only 5.65 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger 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 external factors, 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the metallic surface of gold, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnets exhibit very high magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

ICD Warning

Patients with a pacemaker must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Product not for children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

GPS and phone interference

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.

Fire risk

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Caution required

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
