1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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.

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 very precise dimensions, 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 industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling 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 in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x30 mm, which, at a weight of 4.42 g, makes it an element with high 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 secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 standard 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even after approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Considering the option of free molding and customization to specialized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as 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 advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Fire risk

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Safe operation

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

This is not a toy

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.

Keep away from computers

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Fragile material

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

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. It is best to use safety gloves.

Pacemakers

People with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
