1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 4.48 N with a weight of only 0.47 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% 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 (Ø4x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 5 mm. The value of 4.48 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.47 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 5 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of flexible shaping and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under the following configuration:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas 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 reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Danger to the youngest

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Impact on smartphones

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Fire risk

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Implant safety

People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Important! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
