1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 1.38

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 offers

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x15 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.48 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 typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. 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 low weight is crucial.
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 two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. 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 in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 15 mm. 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 secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 5 mm. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By covering with a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an proper look,
  • Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of individual modeling and modifying to complex needs,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 0.48 kg is a measurement result performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, listed from the most important:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Conscious usage

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Serious injuries

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Threat to navigation

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Electronic devices

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Fire risk

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Product not for children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Danger! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
