1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.29

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.

Other deals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 25x5 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 7.98 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 78.25 N with a weight of only 18.41 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 precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable 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 (Ø25x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø25x5 mm, which, at a weight of 18.41 g, makes it an element with impressive 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 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 25 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.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • 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 the option of precise molding and customization to custom solutions, magnetic components can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the real power results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Electronic hazard

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Safe operation

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
