Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*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

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 deals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 2.17 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, 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 very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.17 kg (force ~21.31 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of gold, the element presents an nice look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. 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 experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Physical harm

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Safe operation

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Electronic devices

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Avoid contact if allergic

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

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
