1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 1.59

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 deals

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional 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 in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 4.40 N with a weight of only 4.42 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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, specialized industrial adhesives 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x30), 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 30 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.40 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 30 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is maximum,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of accurate creating as well as adjusting to individual needs,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • 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 rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Metal Allergy

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.

Physical harm

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Adults only

These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Warning for heart patients

People with a pacemaker have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Caution required

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

GPS Danger

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
