1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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.

Field Strength

Other deals

The offered product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 8x15 / N38 model boasts 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. 1.47 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power 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 brittleness of the NdFeB material, 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial 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 in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 15 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.47 kg (force ~14.45 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • By using a decorative coating of gold, the element acquires an proper look,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force 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
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

Some people experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Respect the power

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Magnetic interference

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

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Life threat

Individuals with a heart stimulator should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Data carriers

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
