1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59

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 Ø8x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.04 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 20.00 N with a weight of only 1.51 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 precision component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade 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 (Ø8x4), 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 Ø8x4 mm, which, at a weight of 1.51 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 20.00 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.51 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part 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 shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the potential of precise molding and customization to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Protect data

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

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

GPS Danger

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
