1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.31

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 presented product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, 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 created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 12.71 N with a weight of only 7.54 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø8x20), 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 20 mm. The value of 12.71 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 7.54 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 20 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 rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • 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 precise forming and optimizing to concrete needs,
  • Key role in future technologies – they find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • 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.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

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

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Immense force

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

Material brittleness

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Safe distance

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Flammability

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Swallowing risk

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
