1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.32 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 3.12 N with a weight of only 0.15 g, this cylindrical magnet 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., 5.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives 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 the strongest 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.15 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.32 kg (force ~3.12 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of nickel, the element presents an nice look,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact modeling as well as modifying to specific requirements,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength 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 very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Medical interference

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Keep away from children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Conscious usage

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
