Magnetic force weakens significantly with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Note that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Magnetic products operate most effectively during direct contact; gap weakens the power. Analyze how flashily the parameters drop, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When designing the mounting, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

This section calculates the estimated weight limit required to initiate the slippage of the magnet vertically against a vertical steel wall (considering standard friction). This parameter varies with the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - vertical pull
MW 12x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.42 kg / 0.92 pounds 417.0 g / 4.1 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.28 kg / 0.61 pounds 278.0 g / 2.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.14 kg / 0.31 pounds 139.0 g / 1.4 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.70 kg / 1.53 pounds 695.0 g / 6.8 N

When mounting a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold just about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient mean that products slide down easier than they detach. Want to create a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the element will give way down under a significantly smaller load. Using a rubber layer can drastically raise the stability.

12 mm	100%	1.39 kg / 3.06 pounds 1390.0 g / 13.6 N

A thin metal plate is incapable of focus the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the flux will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of metal. The saturation phenomenon causes that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the product holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section according to the table below.

Table 5: Working in heat (stability) - power drop
MW 12x2 / N38

40 °C	-2.2%	1.36 kg / 3.00 pounds 1359.4 g / 13.3 N	OK

100 °C	-28.8%	0.99 kg / 2.18 pounds 989.7 g / 9.7 N

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Avoid high temperatures – heat can permanently demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's force temporarily lowers. Avoid using this product near heat sources higher than its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.

*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet combination. Such a system of two magnets produces a massive flux and a wider radius of action. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Results show sliding force of two identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a real danger to electronics and pacemakers. These NdFeB products produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and housings. Special caution must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Striking energy can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to fingers. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working 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.

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.39 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, 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 miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.

Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision 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.

Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.

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 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
In other words, due to the glossy finish of nickel, the element looks attractive,
Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

They are fragile 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 increases its resistance to damage
Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Holding force of 1.39 kg is a measurement result conducted under the following configuration:

using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
with an ground touching surface
under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
at ambient temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity is determined by many variables, listed from the most important:

Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets

Sensitization to coating

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Life threat

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Keep away from electronics

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Fire risk

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Do not underestimate power

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

Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
