1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety 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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 3.19 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid 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.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 31.28 N with a weight of only 2.95 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 10.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins 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 popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 5 mm. 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 protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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 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

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely 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 modeling and optimizing to atypical conditions,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

Magnet power was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Keep away from children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Magnets are brittle

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Life threat

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Powerful field

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Bodily injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Magnetic interference

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
