Product Overview
These 5/8" x 3/8" N42 Neodymium Disc Magnets deliver exceptional holding power in a compact, heavy-duty design. The 5/8-inch diameter provides a generous contact surface for maximum grip, while the 3/8-inch thickness creates a deeper magnetic field for greater holding strength than thinner disc magnets of the same diameter.
Manufactured from premium N42 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these rare earth magnets provide an excellent balance of strength, durability, and value. They are ideal for industrial fixtures, woodworking, magnetic closures, robotics, engineering projects, product assemblies, and countless custom applications where dependable magnetic performance is required.
Each magnet is protected with a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chipping while maintaining a smooth, polished metallic finish.
What Is a Neodymium Disc Magnet?
A neodymium disc magnet is a permanent magnet manufactured from NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), the strongest commercially available magnetic material. Disc magnets offer exceptional magnetic force while maintaining a compact profile, making them one of the most versatile magnet shapes available.
These magnets are magnetized through their thickness, placing the north and south poles on the two flat circular faces to maximize holding power. They are commonly used in manufacturing, robotics, electronics, woodworking, magnetic fixtures, product assemblies, displays, and educational projects.
Neodymium magnets are also commonly known as Neo magnets, NdFeB magnets, NIB magnets, or super magnets.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
This 5/8" x 3/8" N42 disc magnet delivers over 28 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions using a thick, clean steel surface.
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 intended application.
