1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Other offers

The offered product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 3.19 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, 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 finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 10.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 (Ø10x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.95 g, makes it an element with impressive 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 protects the surface 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 10 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even after approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of precise modeling as well as modifying to concrete conditions,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process 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

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In practice, the actual holding force is determined by many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Machining danger

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Adults only

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Data carriers

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Respect the power

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We recommend use safety gloves.
