 but in the practice, leaving aside formulas; on an industrial
electromagnet which have  all the design conditions to be strong, ¿is
it only strong to hold, or is strong to attract too?

The holding strength is the im****tant issue. It is the maximum attractive 
force possible. The objective is to bring the magnet into contact with the

load and then lift it mechanically. A magnet of the design that you showed

is designed to hold at zero gap.  -- 

P.S. I have just read Benj's comments- and they are excellent.
