1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, 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

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 advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x1 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.32 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening 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 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 high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen 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 (Ø5x1), 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 5 mm and height 1 mm. 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 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. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of exact modeling and modifying to specific conditions,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, 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. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Do not give to children

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

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

ICD Warning

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Electronic hazard

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Caution required

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Metal Allergy

Some people have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to wear protective gloves.
