1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 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.

Other proposals

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 8x5 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive 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 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 21.31 N with a weight of only 1.88 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. 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 frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.17 kg (force ~21.31 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. 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 5 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the possibility of free forming and customization to custom requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Respect the power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Heat warning

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

Medical implants

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
