1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration 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 miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 4.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, 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 frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.46 kg (force ~4.48 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element gains an nice look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Mechanical processing

Powder created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Threat to electronics

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
