Grip strength weakens significantly with every mm of distance. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) noticeably weakens the grip. Neodymiums hold optimally during direct contact; gap drastically cuts the power. Analyze how rapidly the load capacity drop, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, eliminate additional spacers.

The following data defines the approximate holding capacity needed to initiate the downward movement of the magnet downwards along a vertical steel plate (considering typical friction coefficient). The holding force varies with the separation distance between the magnet and the surface.

Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.28 kg / 0.61 pounds 278.0 g / 2.7 N

When mounting a holder on a vertical surface (e.g., a fridge), it will only hold only about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip mean that magnets move down easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a vertical fastening? Consider that the shear force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the magnet will slide down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Application of an anti-slip pad can drastically increase the grip.

A too thin steel is incapable of absorb the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. If you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the flux will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze the maximum of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of metal. The saturation phenomenon means that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the holder works worse. We advise picking the steel dimension based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose strength above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can permanently demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's capacity momentarily lowers. Refrain from using this magnet close to ovens exceeding its working range. Ignoring the limit will result in irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) are more susceptible to demagnetization at lower temperatures than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and steel combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the collision energy is extreme. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction between like poles drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Important: Calculations demonstrate shear force of dual identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Extremely neodym field poses a large risk to electronic devices and medical implants. These neodymiums produce a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and glass. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

NdFeB products are very brittle – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Striking energy can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.25

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.

MW 10x2 / N38 - cylindrical magnet

0.467 ZŁ brutto / pcs

This product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 12x2 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.39 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 13.66 N with a weight of only 1.7 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.

Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 12.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. 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 popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø12x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x2 mm, which, at a weight of 1.7 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.39 kg (force ~13.66 N), which, with such compact 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 12 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
By covering with a shiny layer of nickel, the element has an nice look,
They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Possibility of custom shaping and modifying to atypical needs,
Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:

using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
with a surface perfectly flat
without any air gap between the magnet and steel
during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity is determined by a number of factors, presented from most significant:

Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Bodily injuries

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

ICD Warning

People with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

GPS and phone interference

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.

Immense force

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

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
