Common Questions About This Magnet
How much weight can this magnet hold?
This magnet provides over 65 lbs of pull force under ideal conditions. Actual holding capacity depends on surface material, air gaps, steel thickness, and application design.
Is N48 stronger than N42?
Yes. N48 magnets provide greater magnetic energy and holding force than N42 magnets of the same dimensions.
Can this magnet be used outdoors?
The Nickel-Copper-Nickel coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, but additional protection is recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure.
Can it rust?
The protective nickel coating helps resist corrosion; however, moisture exposure and coating damage can eventually result in rust.
What direction is it magnetized?
This magnet is magnetized through the 3/8-inch thickness, with the north and south poles located on the 2" x 1" flat surfaces.
