1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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.

Other products

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x15 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.48 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. 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.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 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 defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual forming as well as adapting to defined conditions,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Combustion hazard

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Avoid contact if allergic

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

Conscious usage

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Thermal limits

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Protect data

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
