1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits 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) = 0.89

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 offered product is a very strong rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional 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 triple-layer 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 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 every gram matters.
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 automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme 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 in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 8 mm and height 8 mm. 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 protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
  • By using a decorative coating of silver, the element gains an professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom forming and adapting to concrete needs,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy

Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.

Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Cards and drives

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Respect the power

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

Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
