1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely 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) = 1.38

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 deals

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 5x15 / N38 model is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.48 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.68 N with a weight of only 2.21 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 15 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.48 kg (force ~4.68 N), which, with such compact 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, including:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Dust is flammable

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Bodily injuries

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Impact on smartphones

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Adults only

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.

Medical interference

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
