    Magnetic Pull Rating

    Magnetic Pull Rating

    Neodymium Ball Magnets

    Attract metal from all angles. These magnets create an even magnetic field around the sphere. They’re often used in rotating assemblies and sensor-calibration systems where full magnetic exposure is a must. With the highest strength-to-size ratio of any magnet, these deliver powerful pull force even in tight spaces.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Magnetized Through Thickness—Magnetized from one flat face to the other, these magnets deliver a concentrated magnetic force.
    Nickel Plated—With a nickel-plated finish, these magnets stand up to solvents, salt water, and chemicals better than uncoated neodymium. The plating may wear off over time, so these are not recommended for applications with a lot of friction or wear.
