1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, 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. Heat tolerance

*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

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.

Other offers

The offered product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.56 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 5.45 N with a weight of only 1.47 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. 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.
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 (Ø5x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf 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 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 secures it 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • By covering with a smooth coating of gold, the element gains an aesthetic look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

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

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces 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 shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire warning

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Adults only

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Power loss in heat

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Medical implants

People with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
