1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

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 a very strong rod magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.32 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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 positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 3.12 N with a weight of only 0.15 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x1), 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 5 mm and height 1 mm. The value of 3.12 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.15 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By using a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an professional look,
  • Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as modifying to complex conditions,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Pacemakers

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Adults only

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Safe distance

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
