1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 1.21

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 presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.56 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer 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 5.45 N with a weight of only 1.47 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 professional component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling 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 store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x10 mm, which, at a weight of 1.47 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.56 kg (force ~5.45 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the ability of accurate forming and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.

Powerful field

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Serious injuries

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

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Pacemakers

People with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Compass and GPS

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
