1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits 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) = 1.05

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.

Magnetic Induction

See more products

The offered product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x7 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x7 / N38 model is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.67 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 6.60 N with a weight of only 1.03 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 7 mm. The value of 6.60 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.03 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 7 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of individual forming as well as optimizing to defined applications,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

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

Holding force of 0.67 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under standard conditions:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Fire warning

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Serious injuries

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Metal Allergy

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Adults only

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Caution required

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Threat to electronics

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
