Magnetic force drops drastically with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, paint, dust) significantly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold strongest in perfect adhesion; distance drastically cuts the power. Observe how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the product does not adhere tightly to the metal substrate. When planning the mounting, avoid redundant distances.

This section shows the theoretical force needed to start the sliding of the magnet vertically along a upright steel plate (assuming standard friction). This parameter depends on the distance between the magnet and the surface.

When placing a magnet on a vertical wall (e.g., a board), it you can count on just approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders slide down easier than they detach. Designing a wall mount? Note that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the magnet will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Utilizing a rubberized pad can drastically improve the result.

A too thin steel cannot conduct the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the field will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve 100% of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of metal. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the product shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel thickness based on the following data.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose strength above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – excessive heat can permanently demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this magnet in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.
*Technical advisory: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties at lower temperatures compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a larger range of action. Designing a powerful holder? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Note: Calculations apply to shear force of a pair of identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Extremely neodym field is a large risk to electronic devices as well as pacemakers. These magnets produce a field that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and housings. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are delicate – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to fingers. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when handling with large magnets.

Warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.
1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27

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 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 offered product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x1.5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 8x1.5 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 0.74 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 7.27 N with a weight of only 0.57 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø8x1.5), 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 Ø8x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.57 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 7.27 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.57 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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 8 mm. 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • In other words, due to the metallic surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of precise shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's 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.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In practice, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, ranked from crucial:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – 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 at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Keep away from electronics

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Flammability

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Conscious usage

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Maximum temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Pacemakers

Patients with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
