Product Overview
Neodymium magnets are the world's strongest commercially available permanent magnets. Super Magnet Store offers premium-quality N48 neodymium magnets manufactured to stringent quality standards using advanced production technology. These magnets provide exceptional magnetic strength, dependable performance, and long-term durability for industrial, commercial, and engineering applications.
This N48 neodymium block magnet measures 2" x 2" x 1/4" and generates over 55 lbs of pull force under ideal conditions. Manufactured from neodymium, iron, boron, and other minor elements, it delivers stronger magnetic performance than N45, N42, N40, N38, N35, and other lower-grade magnets.
Neodymium magnets are significantly stronger than SmCo, AlNiCo, and ceramic magnets, making them the preferred choice for applications requiring maximum magnetic force in a compact package.
The Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating provides superior corrosion resistance and durability while maintaining long-term magnetic performance.
What Is a Neodymium Block Magnet?
A neodymium block magnet is a rectangular rare earth permanent magnet made from neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Block magnets provide exceptional holding force and a large contact surface area, making them ideal for industrial equipment, manufacturing fixtures, automation systems, robotics, engineering projects, and custom magnetic assemblies.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
This N48 neodymium block magnet generates over 55 lbs of pull force under ideal conditions. Actual holding strength depends on steel thickness, surface finish, air gaps, temperature, and mounting configuration. With a Br Max rating of 13,800 Gauss, it delivers powerful magnetic performance in a large surface-area design.
