Product Description

Neodymium Magnets N48 3/8 in x 1/2 in Rare Earth Rod

N48 Neodymium Magnet 3/8 in x 1/2 in Rod – Compact High-Strength Rare Earth Cylinder for Precision Applications

This N48 neodymium rod magnet (0.375" diameter x 0.5" thick) delivers exceptional strength in a compact form factor. Manufactured by Applied Magnets using top-grade Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) materials, it offers excellent magnetic performance and long-lasting durability. Ideal for precision assemblies, magnetic closures, and applications where space is limited but holding power is essential. Rated for use up to 80°C (176°F), it maintains magnetic strength under typical indoor and light-duty industrial conditions.

Key Features:

• Precision Cylindrical Profile: 3/8-inch diameter and 1/2-inch thickness allows for seamless integration into confined spaces and precision components.
• Powerful N48 Grade: Stronger than N35, N38, N40, N42, and N45 grades, offering excellent magnetic force in a small footprint.
• Impressive BrMax and BH Max: Delivers a BrMax of 13,800 gauss and a BH Max of 48 MGOe, ensuring high energy density and consistent magnetic performance.
• Triple-Coated for Durability: Nickel-Copper-Nickel plating resists corrosion and wear, extending service life in labs, workshops, and light outdoor environments.
• Magnetized Through Thickness: North and south poles are on the flat faces (ends), allowing strong axial holding for vertical or embedded mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is this magnet compared to other grades?
This N48 magnet is stronger than N35, N38, N40, N42, and N45 grades, offering higher energy output and pull force for its size.

What is the maximum operating temperature?
This N48 magnet is rated for continuous use up to 80°C (176°F). Exceeding this limit may lead to partial loss of magnetic strength.

Is the coating durable for long-term use?
Yes, the Nickel-Copper-Nickel triple-layer coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear.

Can I use this magnet for outdoor applications?
While the coating offers some protection, prolonged outdoor exposure may still lead to corrosion. Protective housing or sealing is recommended for outdoor use.

Are these magnets safe to handle?
They are extremely strong and can cause pinching or breakage if handled carelessly. Always follow safety guidelines when using rare earth magnets.
