1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, 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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x30 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, 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 rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. 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.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 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. 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.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is very high,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the possibility of precise forming and customization to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Nickel allergy

Some people suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Handling rules

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

GPS Danger

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Health Danger

People with a pacemaker have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

No play value

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Threat to electronics

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

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