1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 1.59

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 proposals

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x30 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects 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 pull force of 4.40 N with a weight of only 4.42 g, this cylindrical magnet 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 immediate cracking of this precision component. 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 a great economic balance 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 lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.40 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of accurate machining as well as modifying to individual needs,
  • Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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 - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Powerful field

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Crushing force

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Magnetic interference

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Dust is flammable

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
