Pulling power decreases significantly with every mm of gap. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums work strongest at the point of direct contact; distance drastically cuts the force. Observe how rapidly the pull force plummet, when the magnet does not touch directly to the metal substrate. When designing the mounting, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

This section shows the approximate holding capacity required to initiate the shifting of the magnet down on a vertical metal surface (assuming standard friction coefficient). This parameter depends on the separation distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - vertical pull
MW 5x3 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.25 kg / 0.56 lbs 252.0 g / 2.5 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.17 kg / 0.37 lbs 168.0 g / 1.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.08 kg / 0.19 lbs 84.0 g / 0.8 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.42 kg / 0.93 lbs 420.0 g / 4.1 N

When mounting a holder on a upright wall (e.g., a board), it will only hold just about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient cause that holders slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Want to create a wall mount? Consider that the sliding force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the element will slide down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Utilizing a rubberized pad can effectively improve the result.

2 mm	50%	0.42 kg / 0.93 lbs 420.0 g / 4.1 N
3 mm	75%	0.63 kg / 1.39 lbs 630.0 g / 6.2 N
5 mm	100%	0.84 kg / 1.85 lbs 840.0 g / 8.2 N
10 mm	100%	0.84 kg / 1.85 lbs 840.0 g / 8.2 N
11 mm	100%	0.84 kg / 1.85 lbs 840.0 g / 8.2 N
12 mm	100%	0.84 kg / 1.85 lbs 840.0 g / 8.2 N

A too thin steel is unable to take in the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the flux will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize 100% of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick element of steel. The saturation effect causes that on delicate walls (e.g., thin profiles), the product shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel dimension from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets change their properties strength above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's force temporarily lowers. Avoid using this magnet near heat sources higher than its safe range. Ignoring the limit will result in irreversible degradation 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 than long magnets. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal setup. Such a system of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of operation. Planning to create a powerful holder? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Attention: Figures show shear force of a pair of same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Table 7: Hazards (implants) - warnings
MW 5x3 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance
Pacemaker	5 Gs (0.5 mT)	3.0 cm
Hearing aid	10 Gs (1.0 mT)	2.5 cm
Timepiece	20 Gs (2.0 mT)	2.0 cm

Extremely neodym field is a real danger to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - warning
MW 5x3 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	44.07 km/h (12.24 m/s)	0.03 J
30 mm	76.32 km/h (21.20 m/s)	0.10 J
50 mm	98.53 km/h (27.37 m/s)	0.16 J
100 mm	139.35 km/h (38.71 m/s)	0.33 J

NdFeB products are prone to chipping – a violent impact against metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to skin. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

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

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.66

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 an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x3 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 5x3 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.84 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, 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 robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 8.25 N with a weight of only 0.44 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.

Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø5x3), 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 Ø5x3 mm, which, at a weight of 0.44 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.84 kg (force ~8.25 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power 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 3 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 and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element looks attractive,
Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the surface,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Possibility of custom shaping and optimizing to individual applications,
Significant place in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

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

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:

using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
characterized by lack of roughness
without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Please note that the working load may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:

Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Do not drill into magnets

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

Crushing force

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

Skin irritation risks

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Keep away from children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Powerful field

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
