Performance parameters
Direction of magnetization along the height means that one circular surface of a magnet makes the N-pole, while the other – opposite – circular surface refers to the S-pole.
The magnetic force value given above, expressed in kilograms, was measured under ideal conditions. A thick iron plate with a smooth, unpainted surface was used. The force required to detach the magnet from the plate was perpendicular to the plate.
do not use in water
Sintered neodymium magnets are brittle (fragile). A neodymium magnet without housing could break after an impact with another strong magnet.
The maximum operating temperature of a magnet depends on the specific magnetic circuit in which the magnet is placed. Curie’s temperature is ~ 310°[C]. Temperature coefficient of remanence TK(Br): ≤ -0,12 %/°[C]. Temperature coefficient of coercivity TK(HcJ): ≤ -0,6 %/°[C].
The magnet parameter values presented here are the result of measurements taken on one specific magnet and are used to compare magnets available in the online shop. We recommend testing the magnet yourself under the expected operating conditions.

D6x3/N38 - Neodymium disc magnet
This disc magnet with a diameter of 6 mm and a height of 3 mm is a neodymium magnet. In the picture gallery, you can see a graphic showing the force with which the magnet can be detached depending on the direction of the force acting on the magnet and depending on the air gap. The best iron sheet should be at least 1 mm thick. If the sheet is thinner, the neodymium magnet field will saturate the entire thickness of the sheet, but unfortunately some of the magnetic field from the magnet will be unproductively located behind the sheet, and therefore the magnet will have a lower lifting capacity in practice.
