1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.05

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.

The presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x7 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.67 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid 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 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 6.60 N with a weight of only 1.03 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 professional component. To ensure stability in industry, 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 a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x7), 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 Ø5x7 mm, which, at a weight of 1.03 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.67 kg (force ~6.60 N), which, with such defined 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.
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnets have extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the potential of accurate molding and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Keep away from computers

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

GPS Danger

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

Do not drill into magnets

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Nickel allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Risk of cracking

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Do not give to children

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Safe operation

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