What Is a Neodymium Disc Magnet?

A neodymium disc magnet is a permanent rare earth magnet manufactured from neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Neodymium magnets are the strongest commercially available permanent magnets and are widely used in industrial, commercial, scientific, and consumer products.

Disc magnets are among the most versatile magnet shapes, offering exceptional holding power in a compact, low-profile design. They are commonly used for magnetic closures, fixtures, sensors, electronics, robotics, displays, woodworking, and precision assemblies.

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


How Strong Is This Magnet?

This 1/2" x 3/16" N42 neodymium disc magnet provides an approximate 10.5 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions.

Actual holding force may vary depending on several factors, including:

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

For maximum holding performance, use this magnet against a clean, flat, thick steel surface.

Note: Pull force values are estimates based on ideal laboratory conditions. Actual performance should always be verified in your specific application.

Common Questions About This Magnet

Is N42 stronger than N35 magnets?

Yes. N42 magnets provide greater magnetic strength and holding power than N35 magnets of the same size and shape.

What is the pull force of this magnet?

This magnet provides approximately 10.5 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions.

Is this magnet coated?

Yes. It features a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating that helps protect against corrosion, oxidation, scratches, and everyday wear.

Can this magnet rust?

The protective coating helps prevent corrosion. However, if the coating becomes damaged and the magnet is exposed to moisture, corrosion may occur over time.

Can this magnet be used outdoors?

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

What direction is the magnetized orientation?

This magnet is magnetized through the thickness, with the north and south poles located on the two flat circular faces.

Is the pull force guaranteed?

No. The stated 10.5-pound pull force is an estimate based on ideal laboratory testing. Actual performance should always be verified in your specific application.
