How strong is an N42 magnet?

Grade N42 magnets have a Br of 13,200 Gauss, while N52 magnets can be as high as 14,800 Gauss. See our Specs page for more Br values for various neodymium magnet grades. The Surface Field is the strength of the magnetic field measured right at the surface of the magnet.

How much weight can neodymium magnets hold?

1 Hook Magnet Holds 200 pounds. 200 Pound capacity is based on horizontal application and is reduced by 2/3 if used vertically.

How much stronger are neodymium magnets?

Neodymium magnets are over 10x stronger than the strongest ceramic magnets.

Is neodymium the strongest magnet?

Magnets made with neodymium are the strongest of the rare-earth magnets. Their strength is often given in terms of its gauss rating; depending on their shape and grade, this type of magnet may rate 13,500 gauss or more, although a small one usually rates about 2,000 gauss.

What does a neodymium magnet do?

Neodymium magnets are used as a surgically placed anti-reflux system which is a band of magnets surgically implanted around the lower esophageal sphincter to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). They have also been implanted in the fingertips in order to provide sensory perception of magnetic fields,…

What are grades in neodymium magnets?

Neodymium magnets are graded according to their maximum energy product, which relates to the magnetic flux output per unit volume. Higher values indicate stronger magnets. For sintered NdFeB magnets, there is a widely recognized international classification. Their values range from 28 up to 52 .

What does neodymium magnet mean?

Neodymium magnet. A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB , NIB or Neo magnet), the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron to form the Nd 2Fe 14B tetragonal crystalline structure.
