Pulling power weakens sharply with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, varnish, veneer) significantly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally at the point of direct contact; air break drastically cuts the power. Notice how flashily the pull force fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When planning the assembly, discard unnecessary gaps.

The table below shows the theoretical holding capacity necessary to cause the downward movement of the magnet vertically along a upright metal surface (considering typical friction). This parameter is a function of the distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (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 lbs 1380.0 g / 13.5 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.92 kg / 2.03 lbs 920.0 g / 9.0 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.46 kg / 1.01 lbs 460.0 g / 4.5 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	2.30 kg / 5.07 lbs 2300.0 g / 22.6 N

When placing a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a board), it will only hold barely about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products slide down easier than they pull off. Planning a hanger? Remember that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the holder will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Using a rubber coating can significantly improve the result.

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

A thin metal plate is incapable of conduct the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze 100% of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The material oversaturation means that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the product shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel thickness from these parameters.

Table 5: Thermal resistance (stability) - resistance threshold

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. With increasing heat, the neodymium's force temporarily drops. Avoid using this product close to ovens exceeding its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will cause destruction of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet combination. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a further horizon of action. Planning to create a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Figures apply to sliding force of a pair of identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Table 7: Hazards (implants) - precautionary measures
MW 12x6 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance
Pacemaker	5 Gs (0.5 mT)	6.5 cm
Hearing aid	10 Gs (1.0 mT)	5.0 cm
Timepiece	20 Gs (2.0 mT)	4.0 cm
Phone / Smartphone	40 Gs (4.0 mT)	3.0 cm
Car key	50 Gs (5.0 mT)	3.0 cm
Payment card	400 Gs (40.0 mT)	1.5 cm
HDD hard drive	600 Gs (60.0 mT)	1.0 cm

Extremely neodym field poses a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These magnets generate a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and housings. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - warning
MW 12x6 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	30.55 km/h (8.49 m/s)	0.18 J
30 mm	52.51 km/h (14.59 m/s)	0.54 J
50 mm	67.79 km/h (18.83 m/s)	0.90 J
100 mm	95.87 km/h (26.63 m/s)	1.81 J

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to fingers. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when playing with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: 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. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.59

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 presented product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x6 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 4.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 45.09 N with a weight of only 5.09 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 immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x6 mm, which, at a weight of 5.09 g, makes it an element with impressive 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. 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

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

Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to customize to client solutions,
Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:

using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
with a thickness of at least 10 mm
with a plane cleaned and smooth
under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, such as (from most important):

Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Base massiveness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Life threat

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Machining danger

Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Caution required

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
