1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, 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 offers

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 4x5 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial 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 available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen 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 store.
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 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.
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. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the smooth finish of silver, the element gains a professional 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 can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Finger safety

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire warning

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Nickel coating and allergies

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

ICD Warning

Individuals with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

This is not a toy

Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Permanent damage

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

Caution required

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
