1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the critical limit 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

Other proposals

This product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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 European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast 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.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. 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 delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, 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 high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 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 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • 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 modularity in forming and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Huge importance in high-tech industry – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise 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 propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

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

The load parameter shown refers to the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Handling rules

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Phone sensors

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Warning for allergy sufferers

A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Thermal limits

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