Pulling power weakens significantly with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, veneer) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnets operate optimally at the point of direct contact; distance weakens the power. See how flashily the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch directly to the metal substrate. When designing the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

This section presents the estimated force required to cause the shifting of the magnet vertically on a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This value depends on the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 15x5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	1.62 kg / 3.56 lbs 1617.0 g / 15.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	1.08 kg / 2.38 lbs 1078.0 g / 10.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.54 kg / 1.19 lbs 539.0 g / 5.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	2.70 kg / 5.94 lbs 2695.0 g / 26.4 N

When hanging a element on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will only hold barely about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient mean that products slip faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Note that the sliding force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slip down under a significantly smaller cargo. Utilizing a rubberized coating can significantly raise the stability.

Table 4: Steel thickness (saturation) - sheet metal selection
MW 15x5 / N38

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)
0.5 mm	10%	0.54 kg / 1.19 lbs 539.0 g / 5.3 N
1 mm	25%	1.35 kg / 2.97 lbs 1347.5 g / 13.2 N
2 mm	50%	2.70 kg / 5.94 lbs 2695.0 g / 26.4 N
3 mm	75%	4.04 kg / 8.91 lbs 4042.5 g / 39.7 N
5 mm	100%	5.39 kg / 11.88 lbs 5390.0 g / 52.9 N
10 mm	100%	5.39 kg / 11.88 lbs 5390.0 g / 52.9 N
11 mm	100%	5.39 kg / 11.88 lbs 5390.0 g / 52.9 N
12 mm	100%	5.39 kg / 11.88 lbs 5390.0 g / 52.9 N

A thin sheet cannot focus the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the magnet. Should you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To squeeze 100% of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the product holds weaker. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

Table 5: Working in heat (stability) - thermal limit
MW 15x5 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	5.39 kg / 11.88 lbs 5390.0 g / 52.9 N	OK
40 °C	-2.2%	5.27 kg / 11.62 lbs 5271.4 g / 51.7 N	OK
60 °C	-4.4%	5.15 kg / 11.36 lbs 5152.8 g / 50.5 N
80 °C	-6.6%	5.03 kg / 11.10 lbs 5034.3 g / 49.4 N
100 °C	-28.8%	3.84 kg / 8.46 lbs 3837.7 g / 37.6 N

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With increasing heat, the magnet's capacity briefly drops. Do not use this magnet in hot environments higher than its safe range. Ignoring the limit will result in irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (pancake types) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a significantly greater distance 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 powerful holder? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Field value in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
* Figures show sliding force of dual matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Table 7: Protective zones (electronics) - precautionary measures
MW 15x5 / 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
Mechanical watch	20 Gs (2.0 mT)	4.5 cm
Phone / Smartphone	40 Gs (4.0 mT)	3.5 cm
Remote	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

Powerful magnet radiation poses a large risk to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums generate a flux that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and plastic. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Collisions (kinetic energy) - collision effects
MW 15x5 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	29.27 km/h (8.13 m/s)	0.22 J
30 mm	49.81 km/h (13.84 m/s)	0.63 J
50 mm	64.30 km/h (17.86 m/s)	1.06 J
100 mm	90.93 km/h (25.26 m/s)	2.12 J

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or injury to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with powerful specimens.

Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, 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) = 0.44

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 an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø15x5 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 15x5 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 5.39 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, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 52.83 N with a weight of only 6.63 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.

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 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 an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø15x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 15 mm and height 5 mm. The value of 52.83 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 6.63 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 15 mm. Such an arrangement is standard 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
In view of the option of flexible shaping and customization to unique solutions, magnetic components can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:

Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:

using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
with an ground touching surface
under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings

Medical interference

People with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Handling rules

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
