Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets you can buy. They are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron (NdFeB) and have a high holding force relative to their size. At Magnetenspecialist, you will find them in all common shapes, from a Ø2 mm disc for model making to powerful discs and blocks for industrial use, in grades N35 to N52.

Which shape is right for your application?

In addition to the standard NiCuNi coating, there are epoxy magnets for damp environments, self-adhesive magnets for sticking on without drilling, and plastic-coated and rubber-coated magnets that prevent scratches. Are you looking for a magnet that you can screw in and that provides as much holding force as possible? Then take a look at the pot magnets: a neodymium magnet in a steel pot.

If you are mainly looking for a lot of power, our most powerful magnets are grouped under Strong magnets. For model making and precision work, you will find all magnets up to approx. 6 mm under Small magnets. For cabinet doors and flaps, there is a separate page Magnetic closures.

How do you choose the right neodymium magnet?

• Holding force: stated for every product. Allow plenty of room, as a rough, painted or thin surface reduces the holding force. Read how holding force is determined.
• Grade: N35 to N52. For the same dimensions, a higher number is stronger. What do N35, N42, N48 and N52 mean?
• Coating: NiCuNi for dry indoor use, epoxy or a coating for damp environments. Which coating should you choose?
• Temperature: standard neodymium magnets are suitable up to 80 °C.

Frequently asked questions

How strong is a neodymium magnet?

That depends on the dimensions and the grade. A Ø10 x 3 mm disc magnet holds approx. 1.6 kg, Ø20 x 5 mm approx. 4.9 kg and Ø40 x 20 mm approx. 49 kg. See how strong is a neodymium magnet?, what is the strongest magnet? and neodymium vs. ferrite.

Do neodymium magnets lose their strength?

Hardly ever during normal use. A magnet can lose strength permanently if it exceeds the maximum temperature, or if the coating is damaged and the magnet starts to rust.

Can neodymium magnets rust?

The material itself rusts quickly, which is why every magnet has a coating. If you use the magnet in a damp environment or outdoors, choose epoxy or a plastic or rubber coating.

Are neodymium magnets safe?

Magnets are not toys and should be kept out of reach of children. Keep them away from pacemakers, electronics and bank cards. Larger magnets can snap hard against each other or against metal; keep your fingers away. Read working safely with magnets and are neodymium magnets dangerous?
