1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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

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 presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional 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 available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. 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.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 standard 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
  • By using a decorative coating of gold, the element presents an elegant look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key 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 individual creating as well as optimizing to complex needs,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Dust is flammable

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

No play value

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
