Magnetic force decreases sharply with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) strongly diminishes the holding power. Magnets hold strongest at the point of direct contact; distance nullifies the power. Analyze how rapidly the parameters drop, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the mounting, avoid additional spacers.

The table below shows the theoretical weight limit needed to initiate the shifting of the magnet vertically against a vertical metal surface (assuming standard friction). The holding force is a function of the separation distance between the magnet and the metal.

When mounting a holder on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it you can count on just approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products slip easier than they detach. Designing a vertical fastening? Remember that the shear force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slip down under a much lighter cargo. Application of an anti-slip coating can significantly raise the stability.

A too thin steel is unable to take in the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a thin surface, the flux will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve full efficiency of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel thickness from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets change their properties parameters above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's force temporarily drops. Do not use this magnet in hot environments higher than its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will cause permanent loss of magnetic properties.
*Technical advisory: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization at lower temperatures than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnets interact from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet creates a more powerful interaction and a further horizon of performance. Planning to create a powerful holder? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is extreme. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Important: Figures apply to sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a real danger to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums generate a field that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and housings. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can destroy the magnet or injury to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when handling with powerful specimens.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces 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) = 0.44

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 an exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø6x2 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 6x2 / N38 component boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.86 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 8.43 N with a weight of only 0.42 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 6.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø6x2), 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 6 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.86 kg (force ~8.43 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 6 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the option of flexible forming and adaptation to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can 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

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Medical interference

Individuals with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Skin irritation risks

Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Heat warning

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

Serious injuries

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Caution required

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Magnetic media
