1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x25 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 5x25 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its 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 automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power 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 stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x25), 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 Ø5x25 mm, which, at a weight of 3.68 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.41 N), which, with such defined 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 rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 25 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.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element gains visual value,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the potential of flexible shaping and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

Magnet power was defined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Finger safety

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Dust explosion hazard

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Respect the power

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Keep away from computers

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
