1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.25

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.

Field Strength

See more proposals

This product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø30x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 30x5 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 8.71 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 85.42 N with a weight of only 26.51 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 30.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. 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.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø30x5), 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 Ø30x5 mm, which, at a weight of 26.51 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 85.42 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 26.51 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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. 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the option of accurate molding and customization to custom needs, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are used in hard drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Do not give to children

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Life threat

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

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Fire warning

Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Operating temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.
