Magnetic force drops sharply per each millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, dust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums work most effectively in perfect adhesion; gap drastically cuts the power. Observe how quickly the pull force plummet, when the product does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When planning the mounting, discard redundant distances.

The table below indicates the approximate holding capacity needed to start the sliding of the magnet down on a upright steel plate (assuming typical friction). This parameter is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

When placing a magnet on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it will maintain barely about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient mean that holders slip easier than they pull off. Planning a wall mount? Note that the shear force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the magnet will slip down under a noticeably lighter weight. Application of an anti-slip pad can effectively increase the grip.

A too thin steel is unable to conduct the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze full efficiency of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The material oversaturation means that on thin elements (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet holds weaker. We recommend selecting the steel thickness according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – heat can irreversibly damage this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's force briefly lowers. Avoid using this magnet near heat sources exceeding its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.
*Important note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Red status in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and steel combination. The setup of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of operation. Planning to create a powerful holder? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is huge. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates refer to sliding force of two same neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

A strong magnetic field is a real danger to electronics and pacemakers. These magnets generate a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can cause material chips or injury to fingers. Always hold the magnet 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 means shattering of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when handling with large magnets.

Rust risk: Standard nickel requires drying after every contact with moisture; lack of maintenance will lead to rust spots.
The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.
1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.79

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.

This product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.84 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast 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.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 8.24 N with a weight of only 0.59 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics 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 two-component 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x4), 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 Ø5x4 mm, which, at a weight of 0.59 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 8.24 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.59 g. 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 4 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By applying a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an modern look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Please note that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

Mechanical processing

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Implant safety

People with a ICD must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Data carriers

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
