1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.89

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.

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 8x8 / N38 component features 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. 2.03 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 19.92 N with a weight of only 3.02 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø8x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x8 mm, which, at a weight of 3.02 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 19.92 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.02 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 8 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed forming as well as optimizing to concrete conditions,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

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

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast 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 lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Medical implants

People with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Flammability

Dust produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Hand protection

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

GPS Danger

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Warning for allergy sufferers

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.

Heat warning

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

This is not a toy

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Important! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
