Grip strength drops sharply per each millimeter of gap. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) noticeably reduces the pull force. Magnetic products operate optimally during direct contact; distance nullifies the force. See how quickly the parameters drop, when the product does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When planning the assembly, avoid additional spacers.

This section indicates the theoretical holding capacity sufficient to cause the slippage of the magnet vertically on a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction). This value varies with the distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull
MW 2x4 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.03 kg / 0.06 lbs 27.0 g / 0.3 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.02 kg / 0.04 lbs 18.0 g / 0.2 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.01 kg / 0.02 lbs 9.0 g / 0.1 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.05 kg / 0.10 lbs 45.0 g / 0.4 N

When placing a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will maintain just about 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient mean that magnets slip faster than they detach. Designing a hanger? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Application of an anti-slip coating can drastically increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	0.09 kg / 0.20 lbs 90.0 g / 0.9 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to focus the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the field will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve the maximum of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The material oversaturation means that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the product works worse. We advise picking the steel thickness according to the table below.

Table 5: Thermal resistance (stability) - thermal limit
MW 2x4 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	0.09 kg / 0.20 lbs 90.0 g / 0.9 N	OK
40 °C	-2.2%	0.09 kg / 0.19 lbs 88.0 g / 0.9 N	OK

100 °C	-28.8%	0.06 kg / 0.14 lbs 64.1 g / 0.6 N

Ordinary NdFeB products lose strength above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – heat can permanently demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's force temporarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet near heat sources exceeding its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.

*Important note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently sooner compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal setup. The connection of two magnets produces a massive flux and a wider radius of performance. Want to build a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*Flux density in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Attention: Estimates apply to friction force of two same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Table 7: Hazards (implants) - warnings
MW 2x4 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance
Pacemaker	5 Gs (0.5 mT)	2.0 cm

Extremely neodym field poses a serious hazard to electronics and pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Remember: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Collisions (cracking risk) - collision effects
MW 2x4 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	31.89 km/h (8.86 m/s)	0.00 J
30 mm	55.24 km/h (15.34 m/s)	0.01 J
50 mm	71.31 km/h (19.81 m/s)	0.02 J
100 mm	100.85 km/h (28.01 m/s)	0.04 J

NdFeB products are very brittle – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't hit violently 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 playing with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: Standard nickel requires drying after every contact with moisture; lack of maintenance will lead to rust spots.

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

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø2x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 2x4 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.09 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer 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 fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 0.86 N with a weight of only 0.09 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 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 frequently chosen 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 (Ø2x4), 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 2 mm and height 4 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.09 kg (force ~0.86 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 4 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

Their power is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:

using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
with an ideally smooth touching surface
with total lack of distance (no impurities)
during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:

Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Magnet fragility

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Do not give to children

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Threat to navigation

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Immense force

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

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend wear protective gloves.

Maximum temperature

Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
