1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 offers

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x8 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 8x8 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.03 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 19.92 N with a weight of only 3.02 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio 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 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 key parameter here is the holding force 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. 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 rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains extremely intense,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual shaping and adjusting to precise conditions,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in hard drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the limit force, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Danger to the youngest

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Health Danger

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Impact on smartphones

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

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Bone fractures

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Conscious usage

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Protect data

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

Protective goggles

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

Dust is flammable

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
