This N45 grade 6mm x 12mm cylinder magnet is Nickel platted. This powerful little magnet has a holding force of 1.64kgs and surface gauss of 6643. Due to their compact form, these magnets are incredibly versatile, they can be used singularly or in countless different combinations to suit the dimensions needed for your application. N45 is one of the top magnetic grades, making these a superior quality magnet to that available in the same dimensions from other magnet suppliers.

Cylinder magnets are particularly useful for applications that require the magnet to be inserted inside an object or piece of machinery as the hole can simply be drilled or tooled to the diameter of the magnet for the perfect fit.

Rare Earth Neodymium magnets are the world’s strongest permanent magnets and are the ideal magnet if you require maximum magnetic strength. They are up to seven times stronger that Ferrite magnets and come in a considerable range of sizes, shapes and grades. Rare Earth magnets are magnetically stable and have a strong resistance to demagnetization however they are not suitable for use in high temperature applications.

The strength of these neodymium magnets means they must be handled with care, if allowed to strike against one another with force they can chip and shatter due to their brittle nature. Due to their greater strength to size ratio, Neodymium magnets have now replaced alnico and ferrites in many engineering and mechanical industries. More recently neodymium magnets have been adapted for the medical field in a range of ways such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. Magnets have also been used as part of surgical implants to treat conditions such as reflux and sensory perception issues.
