1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.48

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.

Other products

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 8x3 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.70 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 16.67 N with a weight of only 1.13 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø8x3), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 3 mm. The value of 16.67 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.13 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of flexible shaping and customization to unique needs, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 1.70 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Machining danger

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Hand protection

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Allergy Warning

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

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
