1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*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

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.

Other products

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 4.48 N with a weight of only 0.47 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method 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.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø4x5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.47 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 4 mm. 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets very well protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise forming and optimizing to specific conditions,
  • Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.46 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under the following configuration:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Do not give to children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.

Medical implants

People with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Compass and GPS

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
