How is the pull force of a magnet measured?
The pull force of a magnet is a measure of the strength of the magnet's magnetic field and its ability to attract ferromagnetic materials. As the pull force is measured in laboratory conditions, most real world applications will not reach the maximum pull strength listed. There are several methods for measuring the pull force of a magnet, including:
-
Force Gauge: A force gauge, also known as a spring scale or spring balance, can be used to measure the pull force of a magnet by suspending the magnet from the scale and measuring the force required to pull the magnet away from a ferromagnetic surface.
-
Pull Tester: A pull tester is a specialized device that is used to measure the pull force of a magnet. It consists of a platform that holds the magnet and a load cell that measures the force required to pull the magnet away from the platform.
-
Digital Force Gauge: A digital force gauge is a precision instrument that uses a load cell to measure the pull force of a magnet. It typically has a digital display that shows the force in real-time and can be used to measure forces over a wide range of values.
-
Magnetic Field Meter: A magnetic field meter is a device that measures the strength of the magnetic field produced by a magnet. It can be used to measure the pull force of a magnet by measuring the strength of the field at a specific distance from the magnet.
The best method for measuring pull force depends on the specific requirements of the application and the precision and accuracy needed. Many factors can impact why the magnet may not be performing at the listed pull strength. Most commonly it is due to gravity. The strength of the magnet drops 65 percent or more when used in a horizontal/lateral application such as on the side of a refrigerator, rather than in a vertical application such as on the underside of a metal beam. Other factors such as the composition and thickness of the ferromagnetic materials being used will also impact performance.

Great small mags make work look nice
Used these to break the connection on Security Door Sensors, the 3m tape works perfectly also.
3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 Inch Strong Neodymium Rare Earth Ring Magnets N52 (6 Pack)
I use 4 knives on a regular basis, and my favorite knife is steel, and subject to rust. This goes on the cabinet next to the sink; keeps the knives readily visible, clean, dry, sharp, and easily selected; prevents dampness as is possible in enclosed knife holders, and saves counter space. The right size for a 12” deep cabinet, and works like a charm.
We use total element magnets in all of our products
Simple, strong, uniform magnets at the specified dimensions, shipped promptly and without fuss. These are an excellent value for the money. Haven't seen any failure so far and I've used a lot of these.
We’ll done
Very nice and quick shipping
Decided to try this Supplier instead of the one I have used for many years. Prices are much cheaper...so was hesitant at first. Magnet is just as high quality as ones more than twice the price with the same "N" ratings. With many years experience utilizing Neodymium Magnets; I feel comfortable recommending this company. Adhesive discs are also outstanding performers. Cuts down on mounting time and they have not failed yet.
I used the product on wrench racks in my toolbox. Wrenches no longer move or slide around when moving my toolbox around a giant aircraft hangar. Outstanding strength in these magnets. Worked perfectly! Need some more actually!
Received the magnets. Very strong snd met my needs perfectly.
Needle minders
However, I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with totalElements in every step of the order so the five star rating is for them.
They are perfect
Thank you so much👍🏻😃
Multiple uses around my metal studio. Excellent magnets.
