1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59

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

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x5 / N38 model 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 quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power 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 delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking 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.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 3.19 kg (force ~31.28 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. 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 5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • By applying a smooth coating of silver, the element presents an elegant look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Holding force of 3.19 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Medical implants

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Magnets are brittle

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Immense force

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Metal Allergy

Some people experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Choking Hazard

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
