1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 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.

This product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x1 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.32 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force 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 very precise dimensions, 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 industry, 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 popular 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.15 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force 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 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 5 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the ability of free molding and customization to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they find application in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Please note that the working load will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Product not for children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. It is best to use safety gloves.

Magnetic interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Handling guide

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Permanent damage

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

Do not drill into magnets

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

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
