1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 1.59

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

Other deals

The offered product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal 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 European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 4.40 N with a weight of only 4.42 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. 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 durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x30 mm, which, at a weight of 4.42 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 4.40 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 4.42 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even after approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate machining and optimizing to defined needs,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

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

H&S for magnets
Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not underestimate power

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Permanent damage

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Metal Allergy

Some people have a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Implant safety

People with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Compass and GPS

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Swallowing risk

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Safety First! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
