1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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

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.

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 12.71 N with a weight of only 7.54 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x20 mm, which, at a weight of 7.54 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.30 kg (force ~12.71 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even after approximately 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and adjusting to precise requirements,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, namely:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Thermal limits

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Magnetic interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Medical interference

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

No play value

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Conscious usage

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Machining danger

Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
