Can it be used outdoors? Yes, but additional sealing is recommended for long-term outdoor or marine environments.
What is it commonly used for? Rotary assemblies, magnetic couplings, shafts, motors, robotics, sensors, engineering projects, and custom mechanical systems.

Product Overview

These 1" x 1" N42 Neodymium Cylinder Magnets with a 1/4" Center Hole are designed for applications requiring both powerful magnetic performance and a central mounting or shaft opening. The 1-inch diameter and 1-inch height create a balanced cylindrical profile, while the 1/4-inch center hole allows the magnet to be mounted on shafts, rods, or custom hardware for rotating and precision assemblies.

Unlike standard axial magnets, this model is diametrically magnetized through the 1-inch diameter, placing the magnetic poles on opposite curved sides rather than on the flat ends. This magnetic orientation is ideal for rotating components, magnetic couplings, encoder systems, motors, and specialized engineering applications.

Manufactured from premium N42 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these magnets deliver dependable magnetic performance with approximately 60 pounds of pull force. A durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chipping while maintaining a smooth, polished finish.


What Is a Diametrically Magnetized Neodymium Cylinder Magnet?

A diametrically magnetized neodymium cylinder magnet is a permanent NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnet whose north and south poles are located on opposite sides of the cylinder's curved surface rather than on the flat ends.

This magnetic orientation creates a lateral magnetic field that is ideal for rotating assemblies, magnetic couplings, encoders, motors, and precision positioning systems. The integrated 1/4-inch center hole allows the magnet to be mounted directly onto shafts or custom hardware, making it especially useful for mechanical and automation applications.

Neodymium magnets are also commonly known as Neo magnets, NdFeB magnets, NIB magnets, or super magnets.


How Strong Is This Magnet?

This 1" x 1" N42 cylinder magnet provides approximately 60 pounds of pull force under ideal laboratory conditions.

Actual holding force depends on:

  • Surface material
  • Steel thickness
  • Contact area
  • Air gap
  • Magnetic orientation
  • Mounting method
  • Environmental conditions

Because this magnet is diametrically magnetized, its magnetic field behaves differently than a standard axially magnetized cylinder. Performance should always be evaluated for your intended application.

Note: Pull force values are estimates based on ideal laboratory conditions. Actual performance should always be verified before use.

Common Questions About This Magnet

What is the pull force?

This magnet provides approximately 60 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions.

What does diametrically magnetized mean?

It means the north and south poles are located on opposite curved sides of the cylinder, creating a magnetic field across the diameter instead of through the length.

What is the purpose of the 1/4-inch center hole?

The center hole allows the magnet to be mounted onto shafts, rods, bolts, or custom hardware, making it ideal for rotating and mechanical applications.

Can this magnet rust?

The Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating helps protect against corrosion. If the coating becomes damaged and moisture reaches the magnet, corrosion may occur over time.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. However, additional sealing is recommended for long-term outdoor or marine environments.
