Pulling power decreases significantly per each millimeter of spacing. Note that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) strongly weakens the grip. Magnetic products work strongest at the point of direct contact; air break weakens the power. Notice how flashily the parameters fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When planning the arrangement, avoid unnecessary gaps.

The table below presents the approximate shear load needed to cause the slippage of the magnet vertically along a upright steel plate (assuming typical friction). This parameter is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 12x6 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	1.38 kg / 3.04 pounds 1380.0 g / 13.5 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.92 kg / 2.03 pounds 920.0 g / 9.0 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.46 kg / 1.01 pounds 460.0 g / 4.5 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	2.30 kg / 5.07 pounds 2300.0 g / 22.6 N

When placing a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will only hold barely about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravity and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders move down easier than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Remember that the shear force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Application of an anti-slip coating can significantly increase the grip.

3 mm	75%	3.45 kg / 7.61 pounds 3450.0 g / 33.8 N
5 mm	100%	4.60 kg / 10.14 pounds 4600.0 g / 45.1 N

11 mm	100%	4.60 kg / 10.14 pounds 4600.0 g / 45.1 N
12 mm	100%	4.60 kg / 10.14 pounds 4600.0 g / 45.1 N

A too thin steel is unable to focus the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the flux will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To squeeze full efficiency of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel dimension from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity momentarily decreases. Do not use this product in hot environments exceeding its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in permanent loss of magnetic properties.

*Important note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The connection of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a larger range of operation. Planning to create a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Be careful that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*Field value for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Figures refer to shear force of two same magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Powerful magnet radiation is a serious hazard to electronic devices and medical implants. These NdFeB products produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are delicate – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to fingers. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force 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: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59

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 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 incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 12x6 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 4.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing 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 45.09 N with a weight of only 5.09 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.

Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 12.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x6), 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 Ø12x6 mm, which, at a weight of 5.09 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 45.09 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 5.09 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 6 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
By applying a reflective layer of nickel, the element has an professional look,
Magnets have extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
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
Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:

with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
with an polished touching surface
without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):

Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets

Metal Allergy

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Magnetic media

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Physical harm

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Medical interference

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

GPS Danger

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Heat warning

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Fire warning

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Protective goggles

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

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
