1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 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 a very strong cylinder magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 4x5 / N38 component features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. 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.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular 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 (Ø4x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
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 oxidation, 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact shaping and adapting to concrete conditions,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

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

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, measured under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, presented from the most important:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat warning

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Immense force

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Danger to the youngest

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
