1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø25x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 7.98 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing 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 78.25 N with a weight of only 18.41 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 25.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø25x5), 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 Ø25x5 mm, which, at a weight of 18.41 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 78.25 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 18.41 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By applying a lustrous coating of nickel, the element acquires an professional look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the option of free forming and adaptation to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Cards and drives

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.

Thermal limits

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
