1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.44

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 presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 15x5 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 5.39 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 52.83 N with a weight of only 6.63 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø15x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x5 mm, which, at a weight of 6.63 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 5.39 kg (force ~52.83 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 15 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to individualized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Precision electronics

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Power loss in heat

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

Physical harm

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.

Warning for heart patients

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Protect data

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Handling guide

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

No play value

Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
