Quick Answers

Question Answer
How strong is this magnet? Approximately 2 lbs pull force under ideal conditions.
Is N42 stronger than N35? Yes. N42 provides significantly greater magnetic strength than N35, N38, and N40 grades.
What is this magnet made of? NdFeB rare earth material.
Can this magnet rust? The triple-layer nickel coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to moisture may eventually cause corrosion if the coating becomes damaged.
What is it commonly used for? Electronics, engineering projects, magnetic assemblies, product development, sensors, fixtures, hobby projects, and industrial applications.

Product Overview

Neodymium magnets are the world's strongest permanent magnets, and not all magnets are created equal. Applied Magnets offers premium-quality N42 neodymium rare earth magnets manufactured to stringent quality standards using advanced production technology. These magnets deliver reliable, consistent performance at competitive prices for both commercial and personal applications.

This N42 neodymium bar magnet measures 0.5" x 0.125" x 0.0625" and provides approximately 2 pounds of pull force despite its compact size. Manufactured from neodymium, iron, boron, and other rare earth elements, it offers superior magnetic strength compared to lower-grade magnets such as N35, N38, and N40.

The magnet features a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating for enhanced protection against corrosion and wear. ISO-certified manufacturing ensures consistent quality, dependable magnetic performance, and long-term reliability across a wide range of applications.

What Is a Neodymium Block Magnet?

A neodymium block magnet is a rectangular or cube-shaped rare earth permanent magnet made from neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Block magnets provide strong holding force and a large contact surface, making them ideal for industrial, engineering, manufacturing, and DIY applications.

How Strong Is This Magnet?

This N42 neodymium bar magnet delivers approximately 2 pounds of pull force under ideal conditions. Actual holding strength depends on the thickness and composition of the metal surface, air gaps, alignment, and application setup. The N42 grade provides excellent magnetic performance and is noticeably stronger than N35, N38, and N40 magnets of the same size.

Common Questions About This Magnet

How much weight can this magnet hold?

This magnet has an approximate pull force of 2 pounds under ideal conditions. Actual holding capacity varies based on mounting surface and environmental factors.

Is N42 stronger than N35?

Yes. N42 magnets offer substantially greater magnetic energy and holding power than N35 magnets of the same dimensions.

Can this magnet be used outdoors?

The nickel coating provides corrosion resistance, but prolonged outdoor exposure is not recommended without additional protection.

Can it rust?

The Nickel-Copper-Nickel coating helps prevent corrosion; however, damaged coatings or long-term moisture exposure can eventually lead to rust.

What direction is it magnetized?

This magnet is magnetized through the thickness.
