1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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

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.

Magnetic Induction

See more proposals

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern 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 an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 8.71 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 85.42 N with a weight of only 26.51 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø30x5 mm, which, at a weight of 26.51 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 8.71 kg (force ~85.42 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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 30 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Medical interference

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Serious injuries

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Keep away from children

Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Nickel coating and allergies

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
