1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 1.19

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.

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.47 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 14.45 N with a weight of only 5.65 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 chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.47 kg (force ~14.45 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even after nearly 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • In other words, due to the smooth finish of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be very high,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact shaping and adjusting to individual needs,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in magnetic memories, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy 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 lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures 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, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In practice, the real power depends on several key aspects, ranked from crucial:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures 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, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle

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

Choking Hazard

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Sensitization to coating

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Compass and GPS

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Safe operation

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
