Grip strength decreases sharply with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Keep in mind that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally during direct contact; gap weakens the power. Analyze how flashily the parameters drop, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When planning the arrangement, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The following data indicates the theoretical force necessary to cause the slippage of the magnet vertically on a vertical metal surface (considering standard friction). This parameter varies with the separation distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 12.5x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.43 kg / 0.94 pounds 426.0 g / 4.2 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.28 kg / 0.63 pounds 284.0 g / 2.8 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.14 kg / 0.31 pounds 142.0 g / 1.4 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.71 kg / 1.57 pounds 710.0 g / 7.0 N

When hanging a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will maintain only approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip mean that holders slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a vertical fastening? Note that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Utilizing a rubberized pad can drastically raise the stability.

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)

10 mm	100%	1.42 kg / 3.13 pounds 1420.0 g / 13.9 N
11 mm	100%	1.42 kg / 3.13 pounds 1420.0 g / 13.9 N
12 mm	100%	1.42 kg / 3.13 pounds 1420.0 g / 13.9 N

A too thin steel is not enough to take in the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize the maximum of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the holder works worse. We suggest choosing the steel thickness based on the following data.

Table 5: Working in heat (material behavior) - power drop
MW 12.5x2 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	1.42 kg / 3.13 pounds 1420.0 g / 13.9 N	OK
40 °C	-2.2%	1.39 kg / 3.06 pounds 1388.8 g / 13.6 N	OK
60 °C	-4.4%	1.36 kg / 2.99 pounds 1357.5 g / 13.3 N
80 °C	-6.6%	1.33 kg / 2.92 pounds 1326.3 g / 13.0 N
100 °C	-28.8%	1.01 kg / 2.23 pounds 1011.0 g / 9.9 N

Ordinary NdFeB products lose parameters above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With increasing heat, the neodymium's power momentarily drops. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Flat magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently sooner than long magnets. The danger warning in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The setup of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a larger range of operation. Designing a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Remember that when bringing together two magnets, the collision energy is extreme. The levitation is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Field value between like poles drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Estimates refer to friction force of a pair of identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field poses a serious hazard to electronics and pacemakers. These magnets generate a flux that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and plastic. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to fingers. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

This product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12.5x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.42 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.

This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 13.89 N with a weight of only 1.84 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.

Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against 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 do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12.5x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12.5x2 mm, which, at a weight of 1.84 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.42 kg (force ~13.89 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power 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 12.5 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their strong holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
By covering with a lustrous coating of gold, the element has an proper look,
Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
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...
Thanks to the ability of precise molding and adaptation to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:

with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
with an polished touching surface
without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:

Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Bodily injuries

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.

ICD Warning

Patients with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Adults only

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Handling guide

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
