1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.47 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
  • 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 detailed forming and adjusting to precise requirements,
  • Key role in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The declared magnet strength represents the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Keep away from children

These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Hand protection

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
