1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.59

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

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 3.19 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring 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 31.28 N with a weight of only 2.95 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.95 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 31.28 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.95 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 5 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be strong,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force is determined by many variables, ranked from crucial:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Fire risk

Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

GPS and phone interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Conscious usage

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Warning for heart patients

Individuals with a pacemaker have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Keep away from children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
