1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 5x2 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.70 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 6.83 N with a weight of only 0.29 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 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 popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x2), 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 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.70 kg (force ~6.83 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. Such an arrangement is standard 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Metal Allergy

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to use protective gloves.

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Dust is flammable

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Choking Hazard

These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Magnet fragility

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

Health Danger

Patients with a pacemaker should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Heat warning

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

Powerful field

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
