How Are Neodymium Magnets Listed on Your Site?
Short answer
Magnets are organized by shape (discs, blocks, rings, spheres and more) and listed from smallest to largest. Every listing shows the same specs: size, grade, pull force in pounds, coating and magnetization direction, plus volume pricing. Use the filters on each collection page to narrow by size, grade, pull force and coating.
What Each Number Means
| # | Spec | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Title | Size, shape, grade and pack quantity at a glance |
| 2 | Size | Discs and rings: diameter × thickness. Blocks: length × width × thickness |
| 3 | Grade | Material strength, such as N42 or N52. What grades mean |
| 4 | Pull force | Pounds needed to pull the magnet straight off thick steel. More on pull force |
| 5 | Coating | Nickel by default; epoxy, plastic, rubber and others where noted |
| 6 | Magnetization | Which faces are the poles. Magnetization directions |
| 7 | Volume pricing | Lower price per pack as quantity goes up |
The Last Dimension Is the Magnetization Direction
For blocks, the thickness, always listed last, is the direction the magnet is magnetized through. It’s usually the smallest number, but not always: a 1/4 × 1/4 × 1 Inch bar is magnetized through its 1 inch length.
Finding the Right Magnet Fast
- Pick a shape from the menu: discs, blocks, rings, spheres and more.
- Filter by size, grade, pull force or coating.
- Compare pull force in the listing. A bigger number is stronger.
- Check volume pricing if you need several packs.
