1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC 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.

Other proposals

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.03 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, 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 pull force of 19.92 N with a weight of only 3.02 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 high 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.
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. Such an arrangement is standard when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • By covering with a shiny layer of nickel, the element presents an aesthetic look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of precise shaping and optimizing to atypical conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, drive modules, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Magnet fragility

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Phone sensors

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Hand protection

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

No play value

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
