4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.79

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 proposals

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x4 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x4 / N38 component features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.84 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 8.26 N with a weight of only 0.59 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices 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 immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x4), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.59 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.84 kg (force ~8.26 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade 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 4 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external fields,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Considering the option of accurate forming and customization to individualized projects, magnetic components can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fragile material

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

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Respect the power

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
