1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x25 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x25 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.41 N with a weight of only 3.68 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating 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.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x25 mm, which, at a weight of 3.68 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 4.41 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.68 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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. 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Considering the possibility of free forming and customization to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

During everyday use, the real power results from a number of factors, listed from crucial:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured 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 slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Compass and GPS

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.

Handling rules

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Pacemakers

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
