Grip strength decreases sharply with every mm of distance. Keep in mind that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) significantly reduces the pull force. Magnets hold most effectively at the point of direct contact; air break weakens the force. Observe how quickly the pull force drop, when the product does not touch directly to the steel surface. When calculating the mounting, discard unnecessary gaps.

The table below calculates the approximate holding capacity needed to initiate the downward movement of the magnet down on a vertical metal surface (assuming typical friction). This value is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - vertical pull
MW 15x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.45 kg / 1.00 lbs 453.0 g / 4.4 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.30 kg / 0.67 lbs 302.0 g / 3.0 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.15 kg / 0.33 lbs 151.0 g / 1.5 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.76 kg / 1.66 lbs 755.0 g / 7.4 N

When placing a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a fridge), it will only hold just about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products slip faster than they detach. Designing a vertical fastening? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized coating can significantly improve the result.

12 mm	100%	1.51 kg / 3.33 lbs 1510.0 g / 14.8 N

A too thin steel is unable to take in the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. Should you attach a powerful product to a thin surface, the flux will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze full efficiency of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the holder works worse. We suggest choosing the steel dimension based on the following data.

Table 5: Working in heat (stability) - resistance threshold

40 °C	-2.2%	1.48 kg / 3.26 lbs 1476.8 g / 14.5 N	OK
60 °C	-4.4%	1.44 kg / 3.18 lbs 1443.6 g / 14.2 N

100 °C	-28.8%	1.08 kg / 2.37 lbs 1075.1 g / 10.5 N

Standard neodymium magnets change their properties parameters past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – heat can permanently damage this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this magnet close to heaters exceeding its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties at lower temperatures compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet combination. The connection of two magnets generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Want to build a powerful holder? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is massive. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Note: Calculations apply to shear force of two same magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Table 7: Safety (HSE) (electronics) - precautionary measures
MW 15x2 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance

Extremely neodym field poses a serious hazard to IT equipment and pacemakers. These NdFeB products produce a flux that destroys function of digital equipment. Be aware: the unseen radiation acts through matter and housings. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - warning
MW 15x2 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	24.59 km/h (6.83 m/s)	0.06 J
30 mm	41.70 km/h (11.58 m/s)	0.18 J
50 mm	53.83 km/h (14.95 m/s)	0.30 J
100 mm	76.13 km/h (21.15 m/s)	0.59 J

Magnetic elements are delicate – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to fingers. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

Warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.20

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, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 15x2 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.51 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is perfect for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 14.84 N with a weight of only 2.65 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.

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., 15.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, 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 high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x2), 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 Ø15x2 mm, which, at a weight of 2.65 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.51 kg (force ~14.84 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
Possibility of exact modeling and modifying to complex applications,
Fundamental importance in future technologies – they find application in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:

on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
with an polished touching surface
without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on a number of factors, ranked from the most important:

Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Safe distance

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Do not give to children

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Impact on smartphones

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Dust is flammable

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Skin irritation risks

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
