1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.68

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 exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.17 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 21.31 N with a weight of only 1.88 g, this cylindrical magnet 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 two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø8x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x5 mm, which, at a weight of 1.88 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 21.31 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.88 g. 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 5 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By covering with a shiny layer of gold, the element has an aesthetic look,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is 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 custom forming and adapting to precise needs,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Handling guide

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Adults only

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Implant safety

People with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
