Grip strength drops significantly with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Note that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) significantly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums hold strongest at the point of direct contact; air break weakens the force. Analyze how rapidly the pull force drop, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When designing the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

The table below presents the theoretical force required to start the sliding of the magnet downwards against a upright metal surface (assuming typical friction). This parameter is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 5x1 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.10 kg / 0.21 pounds 96.0 g / 0.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.06 kg / 0.14 pounds 64.0 g / 0.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.03 kg / 0.07 pounds 32.0 g / 0.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.16 kg / 0.35 pounds 160.0 g / 1.6 N

When placing a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it will maintain only approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that products slide down faster than they pull off. Want to create a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller cargo. Using a rubber pad can drastically raise the stability.

2 mm	50%	0.16 kg / 0.35 pounds 160.0 g / 1.6 N
3 mm	75%	0.24 kg / 0.53 pounds 240.0 g / 2.4 N

11 mm	100%	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 320.0 g / 3.1 N
12 mm	100%	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 320.0 g / 3.1 N

A too thin steel is not enough to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the flux will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you need a suitably thick element of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the product works worse. We recommend selecting the steel dimension from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this product. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity temporarily decreases. Avoid using this product close to heaters exceeding its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will result in destruction of magnetic properties.

*Important note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (low permeance coefficient) may lose charge permanently sooner compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table points to permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal combination. The setup of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Important: Results apply to sliding force of dual identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Table 7: Hazards (electronics) - precautionary measures
MW 5x1 / N38

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

Extremely neodym field poses a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums generate a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

100 mm	147.30 km/h (40.92 m/s)	0.13 J

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Be sure to control the product 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 ends with a crack of the magnet. Wear eye protection when playing with large magnets.

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. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

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 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 offered product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 5x1 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.32 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 3.12 N with a weight of only 0.15 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.

Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.

Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x1), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.15 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.32 kg (force ~3.12 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.

This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 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 and cons of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

Their strength is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
By applying a reflective layer of nickel, the element gains an professional look,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
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...
Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
Significant place in electronics industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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, in case of application outdoors
We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

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

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:

on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
with an ground contact surface
without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):

Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets

No play value

Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Powerful field

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Warning for heart patients

People with a heart stimulator should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Thermal limits

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
