1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.00

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.

This product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, 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 electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.48 N with a weight of only 0.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 4.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø4x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.46 kg (force ~4.48 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact forming and adapting to precise requirements,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects 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.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

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

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Product not for children

Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Fire warning

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Electronic devices

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
