    Construction

    Neodymium Disc Magnets

    Unmatched strength in a compact shape. These magnets have the highest strength-to-size ratio of any magnet, delivering powerful pull force even in tight spaces. Their flat, round shape creates a strong, even pull across surfaces for reliable holding power. However, they may lose magnetic strength at high temperatures. Also known as rare earth magnets.
    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

    Diameter

    Magnetized Through Diameter—Magnetized outward from the center, these magnets generate a circular magnetic field. This makes them best for sensors and motors where rotational symmetry and precise angles are key.
    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.

    Encased Neodymium Disc Magnets

    Powerful performance with built-in durability. A protective case shields these magnets from the elements as well as cracks and chips when handling, mounting, or sweeping them. 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.

    Keep these compact magnets safe and sound in temperatures up to 390° F. A built-in case shields them from cracks and chips caused by drops and bumps. All stand up to moisture and mild chemicals.
    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.
    Brass Case—Concentrates and focuses the magnetic field to maximize holding strength. Softer than other metals, brass is less likely to scratch or damage surrounding components.
