Pulling power decreases sharply with every mm of spacing. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets operate strongest during direct contact; distance weakens the power. See how quickly the pull force fall, when the product does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, discard redundant distances.

The following data presents the approximate shear load needed to cause the downward movement of the magnet vertically along a upright steel wall (assuming standard friction coefficient). This parameter varies with the separation distance between the magnet and the metal.

When placing a holder on a vertical plane (e.g., a board), it you can count on just approx. 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products move down easier than they pull off. Planning a hanger? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will give way down under a much lighter weight. Using a rubber layer can drastically raise the stability.

A thin sheet is unable to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the field will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet works worse. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose power above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – excessive heat can permanently demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's capacity briefly decreases. Do not use this product in hot environments exceeding its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will lead to destruction of magnetism.

*Technical advisory: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Flat magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner than long magnets. Red status in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of operation. Planning to create a powerful holder? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*The magnetic induction for N-N configuration drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Note: Estimates 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 12x8 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance
Pacemaker	5 Gs (0.5 mT)	7.0 cm
Hearing aid	10 Gs (1.0 mT)	5.5 cm

Payment card	400 Gs (40.0 mT)	1.5 cm
HDD hard drive	600 Gs (60.0 mT)	1.0 cm

Powerful magnet radiation is a serious hazard to electronic devices as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a field that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - collision effects
MW 12x8 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	27.40 km/h (7.61 m/s)	0.20 J
30 mm	47.07 km/h (13.08 m/s)	0.58 J
50 mm	60.77 km/h (16.88 m/s)	0.97 J
100 mm	85.94 km/h (23.87 m/s)	1.93 J

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when playing with large magnets.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.71

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.

MW 7x2 / N38 - cylindrical magnet

0.381 ZŁ brutto / pcs

This product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø12x8 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 12x8 / N38 model boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 4.93 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 48.32 N with a weight of only 6.79 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.

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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x8), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 12 mm and height 8 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 4.93 kg (force ~48.32 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 8 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 and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Due to the option of precise molding and customization to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:

with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
with a thickness no less than 10 mm
with an polished contact surface
with zero gap (no impurities)
under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Serious injuries

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Do not underestimate power

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Medical interference

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Impact on smartphones

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. We recommend wear safety gloves.
