Product Overview

These 1/2" x 2/10" N42 Neodymium Cylinder Magnets combine dependable holding power with a compact cylindrical design. The 1/2-inch diameter provides excellent surface contact, while the 0.200-inch height creates a deeper magnetic field than thinner magnets, making them ideal for applications requiring both reliable strength and precise positioning.

Manufactured from premium N42 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these rare earth magnets deliver an excellent balance of performance, durability, and value. Whether used in industrial fixtures, woodworking, robotics, product development, or custom projects, they provide consistent magnetic performance you can rely on.

Each magnet is protected by a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating, offering outstanding resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chipping while maintaining a smooth, polished metallic finish.


What Is a Neodymium Cylinder Magnet?

A neodymium cylinder magnet is a permanent magnet manufactured from NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), the strongest commercially available magnetic material. Cylinder magnets provide a concentrated magnetic field with greater magnetic depth than flat disc magnets of the same diameter, making them ideal for embedded installations, positioning systems, sensors, and magnetic fixtures.

These magnets are magnetized through their thickness (height), placing the north and south poles on the two flat circular ends for maximum magnetic performance.

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


How Strong Is This Magnet?

This 1/2" x 2/10" N42 cylinder magnet provides approximately 12 pounds of pull force under ideal laboratory conditions using a thick, clean steel surface.

Actual pull force depends 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 testing 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 12 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions.

Is N42 stronger than N35 magnets?

Yes. N42 offers significantly greater magnetic strength than N35 magnets of the same size.

Can it rust?

Like all neodymium magnets, it contains iron and may corrode if the protective coating becomes damaged or exposed to moisture for extended periods.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. For long-term outdoor or marine applications, additional sealing is recommended.

What direction is it magnetized?

This magnet is magnetized through its thickness (height), with the north and south poles located on the two flat circular ends.
