Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Other proposals

This product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.47 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 14.45 N with a weight of only 5.65 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 15 mm. 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 secures it 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

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

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

What influences lifting capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual holding force depends on many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Safe operation

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

No play value

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Finger safety

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Attention! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
