1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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.

Field Strength

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x15 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial 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 quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration 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 every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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.
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 key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.48 kg (force ~4.68 N), which, with such compact 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.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over approximately 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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 the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Handling guide

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Magnets are brittle

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

Machining danger

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Hand protection

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
