1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its 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 automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 12.71 N with a weight of only 7.54 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 defined 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.
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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • 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 possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to unique requirements, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Immense force

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Demagnetization risk

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Do not drill into magnets

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

Product not for children

These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Health Danger

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
