1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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 offers

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x30 / N38 component features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power 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, we absolutely advise against 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 do not react with the nickel coating 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 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 in continuous sale in our store.
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 protects the surface 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 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the glossy layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of free molding and adaptation to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Physical harm

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Threat to electronics

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

Allergy Warning

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Medical implants

People with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Precision electronics

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Swallowing risk

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

Fire risk

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Attention! More info about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
