1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 cylinder magnet, composed of 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 excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, 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 rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating 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 popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
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 secures it against external factors, 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of precise forming and adaptation to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – 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 adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. 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 attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Handling guide

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Cards and drives

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

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

GPS and phone interference

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Do not give to children

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Mechanical processing

Powder generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
