Engineering analysis of the assembly - technical parameters

Presented information represent the outcome of a engineering analysis. Values rely on algorithms for the class Nd₂Fe₁₄B. Actual conditions might slightly differ from theoretical values. Use these calculations as a preliminary roadmap when designing systems.

50 mm	0 Gs 0.0 mT	0.00 kg / 0.00 LBS 0.0 g / 0.0 N	weak grip

Pulling power decreases significantly with every mm of spacing. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, paint, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Neodymiums work most effectively at the point of direct contact; air break drastically cuts the force. Notice how quickly the parameters fall, when the magnet does not touch directly to the steel surface. When calculating the mounting, eliminate additional spacers.

This section defines the theoretical holding capacity needed to start the shifting of the magnet vertically on a upright metal surface (considering typical friction). This value is a function of the distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull
MW 3x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.09 kg / 0.20 LBS 90.0 g / 0.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.06 kg / 0.13 LBS 60.0 g / 0.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.03 kg / 0.07 LBS 30.0 g / 0.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.15 kg / 0.33 LBS 150.0 g / 1.5 N

When placing a magnet on a upright wall (e.g., a board), it will maintain barely approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip cause that holders slip easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a vertical fastening? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the holder will give way down under a significantly smaller cargo. Using a rubber pad can drastically increase the grip.

Table 4: Steel thickness (substrate influence) - sheet metal selection
MW 3x2 / N38

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)
0.5 mm	10%	0.03 kg / 0.07 LBS 30.0 g / 0.3 N
1 mm	25%	0.08 kg / 0.17 LBS 75.0 g / 0.7 N
2 mm	50%	0.15 kg / 0.33 LBS 150.0 g / 1.5 N

12 mm	100%	0.30 kg / 0.66 LBS 300.0 g / 2.9 N

A thin sheet cannot conduct the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the magnetism will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To squeeze 100% of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid piece of metal. The saturation phenomenon means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet works worse. We advise picking the steel dimension according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this product. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity briefly lowers. Avoid using this magnet close to heaters higher than its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Flat magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and steel combination. The setup of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Planning to create a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is extreme. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still large.
*The magnetic induction between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
* Results demonstrate shear force of a pair of same neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Extremely neodym field is a serious hazard to IT equipment as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a flux that destroys function of digital equipment. Be aware: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

MW 3x2 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	52.67 km/h (14.63 m/s)	0.01 J

50 mm	117.77 km/h (32.71 m/s)	0.06 J
100 mm	166.55 km/h (46.26 m/s)	0.12 J

NdFeB products are very brittle – 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 trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to skin. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when handling with powerful specimens.

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

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

1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.71

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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø3x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 3x2 / N38 model is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.30 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 2.99 N with a weight of only 0.11 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.

Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 3.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø3x2), 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 3 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.30 kg (force ~2.99 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power 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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
In other words, due to the reflective surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the surface,
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...
Possibility of accurate shaping and optimizing to specific applications,
Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

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

using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
with a thickness no less than 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
with direct contact (without paint)
for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):

Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces 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.

Warnings

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Handling rules

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Dust explosion hazard

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Permanent damage

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Hand protection

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Implant safety

Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
