1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the safety 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.

Field Strength

See more proposals

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 (Ø5x30), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x30 mm, which, at a weight of 4.42 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.40 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 5 mm. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element gains an modern look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the possibility of accurate shaping and adaptation to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, 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 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Allergic reactions

Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We suggest use protective gloves.

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Flammability

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Handling rules

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

GPS Danger

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
