Pulling power decreases significantly with every mm of gap. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Magnets work optimally during direct contact; distance weakens the force. Observe how flashily the parameters plummet, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, eliminate additional spacers.

This section presents the theoretical shear load sufficient to cause the sliding of the magnet downwards against a upright steel wall (considering standard friction). This parameter depends on the separation distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (sliding) - vertical pull
MW 12x10 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	1.45 kg / 3.19 LBS 1449.0 g / 14.2 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.97 kg / 2.13 LBS 966.0 g / 9.5 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.48 kg / 1.06 LBS 483.0 g / 4.7 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	2.42 kg / 5.32 LBS 2415.0 g / 23.7 N

When hanging a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will maintain barely approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity and a low friction coefficient mean that products slip faster than they pop off the substrate. Designing a hanger? Remember that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller load. Application of an anti-slip pad can significantly improve the result.

A too thin steel is not enough to take in the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve full efficiency of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the magnet holds weaker. We advise picking the steel dimension based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products change their properties parameters above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – high temperature can permanently demagnetize this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's power momentarily lowers. Avoid using this product close to ovens exceeding its working range. Ignoring the limit will cause destruction of magnetism.

*Important note: Thermal stability is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties at lower temperatures compared to rod magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a wider radius of operation. Planning to create a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is extreme. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Important: Figures refer to shear force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a real danger to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums generate a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and glass. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to skin. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A collision at high speed ends with a crack of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when playing with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.81

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 an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 4.83 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 47.41 N with a weight of only 8.48 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.

Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 popular 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 (Ø12x10), 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 Ø12x10 mm, which, at a weight of 8.48 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.83 kg (force ~47.41 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
By applying a decorative layer of nickel, the element has an aesthetic look,
They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Possibility of precise creating as well as adjusting to atypical conditions,
Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals

They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:

on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
with a thickness of at least 10 mm
with an polished contact surface
under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the real power depends on a number of factors, ranked from crucial:

Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures 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 shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Powerful field

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Phone sensors

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.

Physical harm

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