x axis= distance [mm]

y axis= force [kg]

blue curve = attraction
pink curve = repulsion

A numeric example with our largest disc magnet S-45-30-N confirms: The attraction (blue) of a magnet is slightly
stronger than the repulsion (pink). At a distance of 4 cm, the attractive as well as the repulsive force are at approx. 5
kg.

Note: The indicated adhesive force of 78 kg for this magnet is based on a manual measurement. In our web shop,
we publish an official adhesive force of "only" 64 kg. This value was calculated with a mathematical formula. In our
web shop, we always specify the lower of the two values to avoid disappointments (see FAQ measuring adhesive
force).

Taking into account equations (3) and (4), we get that:

from which the magnetic pull force becomes:

Since Permanent Magnets Magnetism follow the law of inverse cube law, meaning the decay of
magnetism relative to distance is diminishing exponentially by a value of 3

Since magnetism obey the law of magnetism, force decay relative

to time and so does the acceleration. Therefore
We compute the distance were magnetic force diminishes by
using exponential decay
