Quick Answers
| Question |
Answer |
| How strong is this magnet? |
Approximately 10 lbs of pull force under ideal conditions.* |
| What is this magnet made of? |
NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) rare earth material. |
| Is this stronger than N35 magnets? |
Yes. N52 is the highest standard neodymium grade and delivers substantially greater magnetic strength than N35, N38, N40, N42, and N48 magnets of the same dimensions. |
| Can it be used outdoors? |
Yes. The Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. For continuous outdoor or marine environments, additional sealing is recommended. |
| What is it commonly used for? |
Hidden magnetic mounts, deep magnetic closures, alignment systems, woodworking, electronics, product assemblies, fixtures, and DIY projects. |
Product Overview
The N52 Neodymium Cylinder Magnet 1/4" x 1" is engineered for applications requiring maximum magnetic strength in a slim, elongated profile. Featuring a 1/4-inch diameter and an extended 1-inch length, this premium rare earth magnet generates a deeper magnetic field and greater holding power than shorter cylinder magnets while remaining easy to install in drilled holes, narrow channels, and compact assemblies.
Manufactured from premium N52 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these cylinder magnets deliver the highest magnetic performance available in standard neodymium magnets. Their exceptional strength makes them ideal for woodworking, engineering, robotics, electronics, magnetic closures, fixtures, embedded installations, and precision assemblies where space is limited but maximum holding power is essential.
Each magnet is NdFeB Patent Licensed and protected by a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating that provides outstanding resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and everyday wear while maintaining a smooth, polished finish. Whether you're embedding magnets into wood, plastic, or resin or using them for positioning and alignment, these N52 cylinder magnets deliver reliable performance and long service life.
What Is a Neodymium Cylinder Magnet?
A neodymium cylinder magnet is a rod-shaped permanent magnet manufactured from neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Its elongated cylindrical shape creates a deeper magnetic field than a similarly sized disc magnet, making it ideal for embedded mounting, magnetic latches, alignment pins, positioning systems, and precision mechanical assemblies.
Cylinder magnets are widely used throughout manufacturing, woodworking, robotics, electronics, and engineering because they combine exceptional magnetic strength with a compact diameter that easily fits into drilled holes and tight spaces.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
This N52 cylinder magnet produces approximately 10 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions against a thick, flat steel surface. Its 1-inch length creates a deeper magnetic field than shorter cylinders, producing stronger engagement and a more secure hold for embedded mounting, magnetic closures, and alignment applications.
The premium N52 magnetic grade offers the highest magnetic energy available in standard neodymium magnets, making this cylinder magnet an outstanding choice whenever maximum holding power is required in a compact footprint.
Because cylinder magnets have a relatively small contact surface, actual pull force may vary depending on the application, material thickness, surface finish, air gap, and mounting method. Testing in your specific application is recommended.

Common Questions About This Magnet
What is the pull force?
This magnet provides approximately 10 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions against a thick steel surface. Actual holding force may vary depending on the application.
Is N52 stronger than N35?
Yes. N52 is the strongest standard neodymium magnet grade and delivers substantially greater magnetic strength than N35 magnets of the same dimensions.
Can it rust?
Like all neodymium magnets, the core material can corrode if exposed. The Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating provides excellent protection against moisture, oxidation, and everyday wear.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. For continuous outdoor or marine applications, applying an additional protective sealant is recommended to maximize service life.
What direction is it magnetized?
This cylinder magnet is axially magnetized through its length, meaning the north and south poles are located on the two circular ends.
