Neodymium Cylinder Magnet – 6.35mm X 20mm | N42

Magnetic Product Description:

This popular rare earth cylinder has a diameter of 6.35mm and a height of 20mm. It is an N42 grade rare earth magnet. It has a magnetic flux reading of 6516 Gauss and a pull force of 1.82kg. It is identified by the AMF magnet part number C-D6.35H20-N42.

Uses for our rare earth cylinder magnets:

The magnetic field produced by a Rare Earth Cylinder magnet like this ¼ inch diameter example, is narrower and more intense than a thinner disc-shaped magnet. This characteristic makes cylinder magnets ideal for penetrating other material to locate the presence of metal including screws and nails. Commercial products such as stud finders utilise rod magnets to ‘see’ inside drywalls and reveal the location of the timber studs inside.

Round cylinder magnets are very adaptable and can be utilised for a broad range of applications. Cylindrical magnets make a good choice for those that need a precise and powerful magnetic hold. This particular cylinder magnet has a relatively narrow diameter for its height, and certainly typifies what people consider to be a rod magnet. The 20mm height means it is unlikely to be suited to applications that require the magnet to be inset into another material unless it is unusually thick in nature.
