1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Magnetic Field

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.84 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application 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 every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way 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 automation, anaerobic resins 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 frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. 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 high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.84 kg (force ~8.26 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnets are characterized by huge magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to customize to client solutions,
  • Key role in innovative solutions – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 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
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In practice, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical interference

People with a heart stimulator should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Threat to navigation

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Thermal limits

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

No play value

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
