1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety 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 incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 15x5 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 5.39 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 52.83 N with a weight of only 6.63 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability 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 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø15x5 mm, which, at a weight of 6.63 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 5.39 kg (force ~52.83 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power 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 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in data components, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can 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

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature 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 shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Life threat

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

Machining danger

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Magnet fragility

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Crushing force

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Do not give to children

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Respect the power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Power loss in heat

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Warning for allergy sufferers

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We suggest use safety gloves.
