1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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.

This product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x5 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet 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 effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring 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 pull force of 31.28 N with a weight of only 2.95 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method 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 industry, 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 frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
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 secures it against external factors, 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • 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 ability to customize to specific needs,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

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

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Thermal limits

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Protective goggles

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Hand protection

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

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Machining danger

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Nickel allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.

Protect data

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Caution required

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Compass and GPS

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
