Pulling power weakens sharply with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) significantly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums hold most effectively during direct contact; air break kills the force. See how flashily the load capacity plummet, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When calculating the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

The following data shows the approximate holding capacity required to initiate the downward movement of the magnet vertically on a upright metal surface (considering typical friction). This parameter is a function of the separation distance between the magnet and the surface.

When hanging a element on a upright wall (e.g., a car body), it will only hold just about 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient cause that products move down faster than they pull off. Designing a hanger? Remember 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 layer can significantly raise the stability.

A thin metal plate is not enough to absorb the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the flux will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of steel. The saturation effect causes that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel thickness from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets lose power past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – heat can permanently demagnetize this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this magnet near heat sources higher than its working range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to destruction of magnetism.
*Engineering note: Thermal stability is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties sooner than taller cylinders. Red status in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a wider radius than a neodymium and metal setup. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a larger range of operation. Planning to create a powerful holder? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is huge. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Estimates demonstrate shear force of two identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field is a large risk to IT equipment and medical implants. These neodymiums generate a field that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to fingers. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A collision at high speed means shattering of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when working with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.
1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

This product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.39 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 13.66 N with a weight of only 1.7 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 12 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 13.66 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.7 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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. 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to customize to complex applications,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Sensitization to coating

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.

No play value

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Finger safety

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Medical implants

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Keep away from electronics
