Magnetic force weakens sharply with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, varnish, dust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums operate most effectively in perfect adhesion; distance kills the force. Notice how rapidly the pull force drop, when the product does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, discard additional spacers.

The following data presents the approximate weight limit necessary to initiate the sliding of the magnet downwards against a vertical steel wall (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - vertical pull
MW 5x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.21 kg / 0.46 LBS 210.0 g / 2.1 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.14 kg / 0.31 LBS 140.0 g / 1.4 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.07 kg / 0.15 LBS 70.0 g / 0.7 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.35 kg / 0.77 LBS 350.0 g / 3.4 N

When hanging a element on a upright wall (e.g., a car body), it will maintain just about 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient mean that holders slip faster than they pull off. Want to create a vertical fastening? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Application of an anti-slip pad can effectively increase the grip.

A thin sheet is incapable of absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the flux 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 material oversaturation means that on delicate walls (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel dimension according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums lose power after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can irreversibly destroy this product. As the temperature rises, the magnet's force temporarily decreases. Refrain from using this product close to ovens higher than its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Technical advisory: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (pancake types) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet combination. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a wider radius of operation. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is massive. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Field value in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Figures apply to shear force of a pair of identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to electronic devices as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and plastic. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - collision effects

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	49.55 km/h (13.77 m/s)	0.03 J

100 mm	156.69 km/h (43.52 m/s)	0.27 J

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Impact energy can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when handling with powerful specimens.

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

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

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

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 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.

This product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x2 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.70 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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 fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 6.83 N with a weight of only 0.29 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.

Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 5 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.70 kg (force ~6.83 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

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

Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is maximum,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Possibility of individual creating as well as optimizing to defined needs,
Wide application in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:

To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:

on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
characterized by smoothness
without any air gap between the magnet and steel
under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):

Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Machining danger

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Compass and GPS

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Do not underestimate power

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

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
