1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.55

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 proposals

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x25 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.41 N with a weight of only 3.68 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x25), 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 25 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.41 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 25 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even during around ten years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains exceptional,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom forming as well as optimizing to concrete conditions,
  • Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's 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 creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the real power results from many variables, presented from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

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. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Dust is flammable

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Medical implants

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
