1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89

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 an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x4 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.51 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 4.96 N with a weight of only 0.38 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins 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 a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø4x4), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø4x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.38 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 4.96 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.38 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By applying a smooth layer of gold, the element presents an elegant look,
  • Magnets possess very high magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of free molding and adaptation to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

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

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Pacemakers

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Compass and GPS

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Finger safety

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Do not give to children

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Dust is flammable

Dust created during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
