1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp 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 proposals

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø4x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.46 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.48 N with a weight of only 0.47 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 professional component. 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio 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 in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 4 mm and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force 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 external factors, 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. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during around 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable 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 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

ICD Warning

Individuals with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the implant.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Safe operation

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Flammability

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
