1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the critical 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 presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x25 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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 chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 warehouse.
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 grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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. 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

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • By applying a smooth layer of gold, the element presents an professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is strong,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • In view of the option of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Choking Hazard

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Handling guide

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Data carriers

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Fragile material

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

Serious injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
