Grip strength drops sharply with every mm of spacing. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets hold strongest during direct contact; gap kills the force. Notice how flashily the parameters drop, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When designing the mounting, discard additional spacers.

When placing a magnet on a upright wall (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on only about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that holders slide down easier than they pop off the substrate. Planning a hanger? Remember that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the holder will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Application of an anti-slip layer can drastically raise the stability.

A thin sheet is unable to absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the magnetism will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet works worse. We advise picking the steel dimension based on the following data.

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose power above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity temporarily drops. Avoid using this product close to ovens exceeding its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to destruction of magnetic properties.
*Engineering note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products 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 larger range of performance. Want to build a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Flux density in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates refer to friction force of two identical neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Powerful magnet radiation is a large risk to electronic devices as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently 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.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.85

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 Pc (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 Pc 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 offered product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø33x30 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 35.84 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 351.54 N with a weight of only 192.44 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 popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø33x30), 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 33 mm and height 30 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 35.84 kg (force ~351.54 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.
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 33 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over approximately ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
  • The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of accurate molding and adaptation to custom requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the real power results from many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Impact on smartphones

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Keep away from computers

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

Allergy Warning

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Material brittleness

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Safe operation

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Crushing force

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Do not give to children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
