Pulling power decreases drastically with every mm of gap. Keep in mind that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums work optimally in perfect adhesion; distance kills the force. Analyze how flashily the pull force drop, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, avoid unnecessary gaps.

The table below shows the estimated holding capacity necessary to cause the sliding of the magnet downwards on a vertical metal surface (considering typical friction). This parameter depends on the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MW 5x5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.24 kg / 0.52 LBS 237.0 g / 2.3 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.16 kg / 0.35 LBS 158.0 g / 1.5 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.08 kg / 0.17 LBS 79.0 g / 0.8 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.40 kg / 0.87 LBS 395.0 g / 3.9 N

When placing a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it will maintain only about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip mean that magnets move down faster than they detach. Planning a vertical fastening? Note that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the magnet will give way down under a much lighter load. Using a rubber layer can significantly increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	0.79 kg / 1.74 LBS 790.0 g / 7.7 N

A too thin steel is unable to absorb the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the magnet. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize 100% of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of metal. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly damage this product. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's power briefly lowers. Avoid using this product in hot environments exceeding its working range. Too high temperature will cause permanent loss of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Flat magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a wider radius of operation. Designing a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is massive. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
* Estimates demonstrate friction force of a pair of same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Table 7: Hazards (implants) - precautionary measures
MW 5x5 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to electronics as well as medical implants. These magnets produce a flux that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Dynamics (cracking risk) - collision effects
MW 5x5 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	32.96 km/h (9.16 m/s)	0.03 J
30 mm	57.07 km/h (15.85 m/s)	0.09 J
50 mm	73.68 km/h (20.47 m/s)	0.15 J
100 mm	104.20 km/h (28.95 m/s)	0.31 J

Magnetic elements are prone to chipping – a violent impact against metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when handling with large magnets.

Environment	Effective steel pull	Effect
Air (land)	0.79 kg	Standard
Water (riverbed)	0.90 kg (+0.11 kg buoyancy gain)	+14.5%

Warning: 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. Shear force

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.89

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.

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø5x5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.79 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 7.76 N with a weight of only 0.74 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.

Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, 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 automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø5x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.74 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 7.76 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.74 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.

This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 5 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
By applying a shiny coating of silver, the element presents an modern look,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Due to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to custom requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
Fundamental importance in future technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:

with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
characterized by lack of roughness
without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Medical interference

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Keep away from children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Skin irritation risks

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.
