1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

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.

Other offers

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x30 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x30 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.45 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction 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 miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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 do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 30 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.45 kg (force ~4.40 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. 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 as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate shaping as well as adapting to concrete needs,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Medical implants

People with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Threat to electronics

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Adults only

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
