1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast 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 ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 12.71 N with a weight of only 7.54 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. 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 popular standard for industrial 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 20 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.30 kg (force ~12.71 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. 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. 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets possess excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise 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 lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Please note that the working load may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Keep away from electronics

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Life threat

Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Thermal limits

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Danger to the youngest

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Avoid contact if allergic

A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.

Mechanical processing

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

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
