1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, 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

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 extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 4x5 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional 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 available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use 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 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 the strongest 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 protects the surface against oxidation, 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • By applying a decorative layer of gold, the element presents an professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of individual modeling as well as modifying to complex requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast 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 load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Dust explosion hazard

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Danger to pacemakers

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Maximum temperature

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