Product Information

Full details

This N52 grade Neodymium laboratory magnet is designed for scientific research and applications requiring exceptionally strong magnetic fields. Its key benefit is the ability to detect ferrous materials through other objects up to 50mm away, thanks to its powerful 6,250 Gauss output. A caveat to consider is its extreme strength, necessitating careful handling to avoid injury.

FAQs

What does N52 grade mean?

N52 is the highest grade for Neodymium magnets, indicating superior magnetic strength and performance compared to lower grades.

What is the effective detection range through other objects?

This magnet can detect paramagnetic or ferrous material from up to 50mm inside another object.

Is this magnet safe to handle?

It requires careful handling due to its extreme strength. Always be mindful of finger entrapment and keep away from sensitive electronics and medical devices.

How should I store the magnet?

Always store it in its provided tough plastic storage case, away from other magnets or large metal objects.

Can this magnet damage electronic devices?

Yes, due to its powerful magnetic field, it can damage or destroy electronic devices, hard drives, and magnetic media. Keep a significant distance from such items.

What is the Gauss rating of this magnet?

Each magnet generates 6,250 Gauss.

Can I use this magnet for industrial lifting?

While powerful, it's designed for laboratory and scientific research. Its 26kg pull strength may not be sufficient or safe for general industrial lifting without proper engineering assessment.

Troubleshooting

Magnet is not attracting objects strongly.

Ensure the object being tested is ferrous. Check that the magnet is not demagnetized (unlikely with Neodymium) and that there isn't a non-ferrous barrier exceeding 50mm thickness.

Difficulty handling the magnet due to strong pull.

Use the solid handle for grip. Slide the magnet to detach it from a ferrous surface rather than pulling directly. Wear protective gloves if concerned about finger pinching.

Magnet feels weaker after storage.

Ensure the magnet is stored correctly in its case, away from other strong magnetic fields or large ferrous masses which could potentially weaken it over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely powerful N52 grade Neodymium magnet.
  • Can detect ferrous materials through significant thickness.
  • Ergonomic handle for safer and easier manipulation.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant construction.
  • Comes with a protective storage case.

Cons

  • Requires careful handling due to high magnetic force.
  • Potential for finger entrapment if not managed correctly.
  • Not suitable for individuals unfamiliar with strong magnets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This magnet requires no setup. It is ready for use upon removal from its protective case.

Compatibility:

This magnet is compatible with any application requiring a strong magnetic field for detection or manipulation of ferrous materials. It is particularly useful in scientific research, educational settings, and industrial analysis.

Care:

  • Handling: Always handle with extreme care. Keep away from pacemakers and sensitive electronic equipment. Avoid pinching fingers between the magnet and a ferrous object. Store and handle in a way that prevents accidental attraction to other magnets or metal surfaces.
  • Cleaning: Clean the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the premium coating.
  • Storage: Store the magnet in its supplied tough plastic storage case when not in use to protect its magnetic integrity and prevent accidental attraction to other objects.
