Product Overview

These 2.5" x 1" N42 Neodymium Disc Magnets are designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring exceptional holding power and a deep magnetic field. The 2.5-inch diameter provides a large magnetic contact area, while the 1-inch thickness generates an impressive 245 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions. Their substantial size and strength make them ideal for heavy-duty magnetic assemblies, industrial tooling, and demanding engineering projects.

Manufactured from premium N42 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these magnets deliver significantly greater magnetic performance than N40, N38, and N35 grades while offering excellent value for high-strength applications. They are commonly used in manufacturing, robotics, automation systems, magnetic separators, scientific equipment, heavy-duty fixtures, and custom engineering projects where dependable magnetic force is essential.

Each magnet is protected with a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chipping while maintaining a smooth, polished finish. Manufactured in ISO-certified facilities, these magnets deliver consistent quality, superior durability, and reliable long-term performance.


What Is a Neodymium Disc Magnet?

A neodymium disc magnet is a permanent NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnet manufactured from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. Neodymium magnets are the strongest commercially available permanent magnets and are widely used in manufacturing, robotics, engineering, automation, scientific research, motors, generators, and industrial machinery.

This magnet is magnetized through its 1-inch thickness (axially magnetized), placing the north and south poles on the two flat circular faces. This magnetic orientation produces maximum holding force against ferromagnetic surfaces, making disc magnets ideal for industrial fixtures, heavy-duty magnetic assemblies, and precision positioning systems.

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


How Strong Is This Magnet?

This 2.5" x 1" N42 disc magnet delivers approximately 245 pounds of pull force under ideal laboratory conditions using a thick, clean steel plate.

Actual holding force depends on several factors, including:

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

Because of its large size and extremely powerful magnetic field, this magnet should be handled carefully to avoid pinching injuries or damage to nearby objects.

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

Common Questions About This Magnet

What is the pull force?

This magnet provides approximately 245 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions.

Is N42 stronger than N35 magnets?

Yes. N42 delivers significantly greater magnetic strength and holding power than N35 magnets of the same dimensions.

Can it rust?

The Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating provides excellent protection against corrosion. If the coating becomes damaged and moisture reaches the magnet, corrosion may eventually occur.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. However, additional sealing is recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure, marine environments, or high-humidity conditions.

What direction is it magnetized?

This magnet is magnetized through its 1-inch thickness (axially magnetized), with the north and south poles located on the two flat circular faces.
