1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x10 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.56 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 5.45 N with a weight of only 1.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, 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, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x10), 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 10 mm. The value of 5.45 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.47 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even during around 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal 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.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Adults only

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Mechanical processing

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Compass and GPS

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

Magnets are brittle

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Implant safety

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

Immense force

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
