Grip strength drops significantly with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums operate most effectively in perfect adhesion; air break drastically cuts the force. Notice how quickly the pull force drop, when the magnet does not adhere tightly to the steel surface. When designing the assembly, avoid additional spacers.

This section shows the theoretical shear load needed to cause the sliding of the magnet downwards along a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter is relative to the distance between the magnet and the surface.

When hanging a magnet on a vertical wall (e.g., a car body), it you can count on just about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravity and a weak degree of grip cause that holders slide down easier than they pull off. Designing a hanger? Note that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slip down under a significantly smaller load. Using a rubber pad can significantly improve the result.

A thin metal plate cannot take in the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the holder shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel cross-section based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose power above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – high temperature can permanently destroy this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's force momentarily decreases. Avoid using this product in hot environments higher than its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.
*Engineering note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Red status in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and steel combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a further horizon of operation. Planning to create a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density for N-N configuration is approximately ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Estimates refer to friction force of dual matching magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These NdFeB products produce a field that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation acts through matter and plastic. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A collision at high speed means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50

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 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 presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.70 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 6.83 N with a weight of only 0.29 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.29 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.70 kg (force ~6.83 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as modifying to concrete applications,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual holding force is determined by many variables, presented from the most important:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Threat to electronics

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Hand protection

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Danger to pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Heat sensitivity

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Handling rules

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Protective goggles

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Flammability

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
