1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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.

Field Strength

See also proposals

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 8x8 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.03 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 19.92 N with a weight of only 3.02 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, 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 frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 8 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.03 kg (force ~19.92 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. 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 8 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element acquires an professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Magnet power was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Do not give to children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Protective goggles

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
