1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding 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. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. 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.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 available off-the-shelf 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 secures it 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over around 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Keep away from computers

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

No play value

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Finger safety

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
