Quick Answers
| Question |
Answer |
| How strong is this magnet? |
Approximately 3.2 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 provides substantially greater magnetic strength than N35 magnets of the same size. |
| Can it be used outdoors? |
Yes. The Nickel-Copper-Nickel coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, although additional sealing is recommended for continuous outdoor or marine exposure. |
| What is it commonly used for? |
Hidden magnetic mounts, precision alignment, woodworking, electronics, magnetic closures, robotics, resin projects, and DIY applications. |
Product Overview
The N52 Neodymium Cylinder Magnet 1/8" x 1/2" is engineered for applications that require the highest magnetic performance in a slim, elongated form factor. With a 1/8-inch diameter and 1/2-inch length, this compact rare earth magnet produces a deeper magnetic field and stronger holding power than shorter cylinder magnets, making it ideal for installations where space is limited but performance is critical.
Manufactured from premium N52 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these magnets represent the highest standard neodymium grade available. Their exceptional magnetic strength makes them well suited for precision engineering, woodworking, electronics, robotics, and custom fabrication projects where dependable holding power is essential.
Each magnet is finished with a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining a smooth, polished appearance. These magnets are an excellent choice for manufacturers, engineers, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts who require consistent, high-performance magnets for repeated use.
What Is a Neodymium Cylinder Magnet?
A neodymium cylinder magnet is a rod-shaped permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Its elongated shape allows it to generate a deeper magnetic field than a comparable disc magnet, making it ideal for embedded installations, alignment pins, magnetic latches, sensors, and precision mechanical assemblies.
Cylinder magnets are widely used in woodworking, electronics, automation, robotics, and product design because they provide outstanding magnetic strength while fitting into narrow drilled holes and compact spaces.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
Despite its compact size, this N52 cylinder magnet generates approximately 3.2 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions against a thick, flat steel surface. Its 1/2-inch length increases magnetic field depth, creating a stronger and more secure magnetic connection than shorter cylinder magnets.
The premium N52 magnetic grade delivers the highest magnetic energy available in standard neodymium magnets, making this an excellent choice for demanding applications where maximum strength is required in the smallest possible footprint.

Common Questions About This Magnet
What is the pull force?
This magnet provides approximately 3.2 pounds of pull force under ideal contact with a thick steel surface.
Is N52 stronger than N35?
Yes. N52 is the highest standard neodymium magnet grade and offers significantly 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, humid, or marine environments, applying an additional protective sealant is recommended for maximum service life.
What direction is it magnetized?
This cylinder magnet is magnetized through its length, with the north and south poles located on the two circular ends.
