1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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.

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 8x20 / N38 component features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 12.71 N with a weight of only 7.54 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x20 mm, which, at a weight of 7.54 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.30 kg (force ~12.71 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.
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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during nearly ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • By covering with a smooth coating of silver, the element gains an nice look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • 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 the ability of free forming and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 1.30 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the application force may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Demagnetization risk

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Risk of cracking

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Cards and drives

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

Respect the power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Allergy Warning

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. It is best to use safety gloves.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Pacemakers

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Crushing risk

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Keep away from children

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
