1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the critical 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 proposals

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x20 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.30 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. 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.
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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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.
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 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
  • In other words, due to the shiny finish of gold, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be strong,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise machining and modifying to atypical conditions,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. We recommend use safety gloves.

Product not for children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Data carriers

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Safe operation

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Dust is flammable

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
