Product Overview
Rare earth neodymium magnets are the world's strongest commercially available permanent magnets. Applied Magnets offers premium-quality neodymium NdFeB magnets engineered for exceptional performance, reliability, and value. Manufactured using advanced production techniques and strict quality controls, our magnets deliver consistent magnetic strength for professional and personal applications.
This N45 neodymium block magnet measures 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/8" and generates approximately 7.7 pounds of pull force. Made from neodymium, iron, boron, and other minor elements, it provides stronger magnetic performance than lower grades such as N35, N38, N40, and N42 while maintaining compact dimensions.
Each magnet is protected by a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating that enhances corrosion resistance and surface durability. Manufactured under ISO-certified standards, these magnets offer dependable performance for industrial, engineering, manufacturing, and hobby applications.
What Is a Neodymium Block Magnet?
A neodymium block magnet is a rectangular or square-shaped rare earth permanent magnet made from neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). These magnets provide exceptional magnetic strength relative to their size and are commonly used in industrial equipment, engineering prototypes, manufacturing fixtures, electronics, and custom magnetic assemblies.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
This N45 neodymium block magnet delivers approximately 7.7 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions. Actual holding strength depends on factors such as steel thickness, surface flatness, air gaps, temperature, and mounting conditions. With a BrMax rating of 13,800 Gauss, this magnet provides powerful performance in a compact package and exceeds the strength of N35, N38, N40, and N42 magnets of the same dimensions.

Common Questions About This Magnet
How much weight can this magnet hold?
Under ideal conditions, this magnet provides approximately 7.7 lbs of pull force. Actual holding capacity will vary based on the application and mounting surface.
Is N45 stronger than N42?
Yes. N45 magnets offer greater magnetic energy and holding strength than N42 magnets of the same size.
Can this magnet be used outdoors?
The nickel coating offers good corrosion resistance, but prolonged outdoor exposure may require additional protective measures.
Can it rust?
The Nickel-Copper-Nickel coating helps prevent corrosion; however, damaged coatings or extended exposure to moisture can eventually lead to rust.
What direction is it magnetized?
This magnet is magnetized through the thickness (1/8"), with the north and south poles located on the large 1/2" x 1/2" faces.
