1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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.

This product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding 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 rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring 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 low weight is crucial.
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 are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.56 kg (force ~5.45 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade 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 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be strong,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as optimizing to concrete requirements,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during 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 forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Implant safety

Individuals with a pacemaker have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Safe operation

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

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Fire warning

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

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

No play value

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.

Heat sensitivity

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
