1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 1.38

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.

Other products

The offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item 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. 0.48 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.68 N with a weight of only 2.21 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 stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x15), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x15 mm, which, at a weight of 2.21 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 4.68 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.21 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they are utilized in data components, electric motors, medical devices, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. 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 power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Magnet power was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

During everyday use, the real power is determined by many variables, listed from crucial:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Do not drill into magnets

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Pacemakers

People with a heart stimulator must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Immense force

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

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

GPS and phone interference

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

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
