Magnetic force decreases sharply with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnetic products hold strongest during direct contact; distance kills the power. Analyze how quickly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch directly to the steel surface. When designing the assembly, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The table below shows the approximate weight limit needed to start the downward movement of the magnet down against a upright steel plate (assuming standard friction). The holding force varies with the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - 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 wall (e.g., a car body), it will only hold only about 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products slip faster than they detach. Planning a hanger? Remember that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the holder will give way down under a much lighter load. Application of an anti-slip coating can drastically 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

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

A too thin steel cannot focus the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the magnetism will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze the maximum of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick backing of metal. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the product shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel cross-section based on the following data.

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can permanently damage this magnet. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's power temporarily lowers. Do not use this product close to ovens higher than its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will cause destruction of magnetic properties.

*Important note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (pancake types) may lose charge permanently sooner compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnets interact from a wider radius than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Planning to create a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*Flux density in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Results demonstrate sliding force of a pair of matching magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a serious hazard to IT equipment and medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a field that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and plastic. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and screens. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to fingers. Always hold the magnet during mounting so it doesn't slam with momentum 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 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!

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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.

This product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 4.60 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 45.09 N with a weight of only 5.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.

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 do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen 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 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 impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.60 kg (force ~45.09 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
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 freedom in constructing and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them

They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. 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 force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:

using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
with an ideally smooth contact surface
under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):

Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Compass and GPS

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Keep away from computers

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

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

This is not a toy

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
