@IRstuff I seem to misunderstood your point. Please do explain, Thank you.

Indeed they are the same force. However, they are not of the same magnitude. The magnetic force is strongest when acting perpendicular to a surface... Sliding it, would have generated a weaker force at the edges.

@IRstuff There is a lateral magnetic force when the magnet is on the edge a other magnet/ferromagnet's surface. Its an attraction force I assume, but still... A weak force in-comparison to the magnetic pull force perpendicular to the surface. My only explanation is that the magnetic field would...

Sorry but, I didn't get your point:"Note also that there is a big difference between removing from a nonmagnet and removing from a magnet." Since sliding a magnet from any magnetic surface is less, I think a smooth ultra=lubricated surface is easer than a rough surface,because there is a gap...

By smoothing out the surfaces or adding ultra-lubricants, I'm essentially decreasing the force correct? Also, I believe there is a lateral magnetic force but possibly half than initial pull force "You can feel a lateral magnetic force when two magnets are offset from one another. The graph at...

Ow, no no no... I'm creating a system that has to do with magnets. I'm building a tool that slides off magnets instead of pulling them apart, since I have a HUGE collection of magnets and electomagnetic applications. s

So it seems that the lateral force is indeed weaker, a common fact we can agree upon that. I assume the coefficient of friction could possibly drop significant when a powerful lubricant is added. So the total lateral force decreases.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant by "orthogonal forces are summed"? My question: The lateral force is weaker than the attraction force(Counter-force that acts when pulling a magnet off etc...)? If so, how much weaker is it?

It might be possible, but very limiting. First, you need to figure out the force the magnet creates on a moment, with respect to it's distance. Sol.

I'm building a system that has to do with sliding magnetic fields, while the magnetic force is acting perpendicular to the applied force. How weak is the lateral magnetic force in-comparison to the attraction force(i.e attraction force applied on a steel plate/other magnet), I know it's less...
