1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely 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.

The offered product is a very strong rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding 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 rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction 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.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 30 mm. 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 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact modeling as well as adjusting to specific applications,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Phone sensors

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Adults only

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Keep away from computers

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

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Serious injuries

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
