This rare earth disc has a diameter of 6mm and a height of 1.5mm. It has a magnetic flux reading of 2818 Gauss and a pull force of 400 grams. It is identified by the AMF magnet part number 20078.
Unlike the majority of us, industrial designers are taught to embrace change. They are encouraged to cultivate a broader appreciation of new ideas. As modern change agents, they are expected to commercialise new ways of experiencing existing forms. These design professionals find many uses for strong and compact Neodymium disc magnets.
The idea of sinking a common screw or driving a nail into a lovingly crafted handmade dining table in order to secure the legs would be drummed out of undergraduate’s heads at the outset of industrial design 101. Industrial designers trade on the apparent seamlessness and purity of purpose of their work that often excludes crude or obvious joins made by screws. For these innovative professionals, magnetic bond is a vital part of the industrial designer’s trade. The invisible or hidden joining of different materials has taken hold across many design disciplines. Magnets can, if desired, reliably and durably conduct their holding power through a range of materials, without piercing or damaging the materials themselves. That's a feat not possible using nuts, bolts or screws. Small Rare Earth magnets like this thin 6mm diameter one provide the simplicity, ingenuity and durability industrial designers’ trade on to keep their well-paid skills in demand.
The role of magnetism and the benefits it brings extends to the Health Industry. Health care plays a vital role in everyone’s life. As the sector grows, sales of magnets like these Neodymium-disc-6mm-x-1.5mmnn grow with it. With the proliferation of different health delivery systems and gadgets, these tiny magnets make discreet appearances in the unlikeliest of places. Magnets like these play a small but useful part in the never-ending pursuits of better medicine. Good health! See our story on our blog about a local doctor fashioning his own medical instruments using small magnets.

The most common coating for Neodymium magnets is Nickel + Copper + Nickel (Ni + Cu + Ni). This coating offers the magnet relatively good protection from corrosion and passive applications. If the magnet will be exposed to moisture or liquid then consider the use of an organic coating such as Epoxy. A hard wearing coating, Epoxy is suited to applications where the magnet will come under some friction or knocking.
Magnets are readily available in Blocks, Discs, Cylinders & Rings. AMF Magnetics specializes in the supply of short-run prototype magnets including Arc Segments, various magnetic orientations etc. If you need a magnet size that we don't carry in stock, submit a Design-a-Magnet enquiry for a quote on your custom magnet design.
Neodymium magnets are offered in several different grades. The first section N30-54 has an operating temperature of up to 80 degrees. Most of our stock only goes up to N38. The second section, denoted with the "M" prefix after the grade has an operating temperature 100 degrees. After this the grades are "H", "SH", "UH" & "EH". In order for the magnet to withstand a higher operating temperature, during production more of the raw material PrNd is incorporated as these elements have a naturally occurring resistance to high temperatures.
The Pull Force listed for each magnet is based on lifting 10mm thick steel from a horizontal surface. Magnets on a vertical surface (of 10mm thick steel) are generally able to hold around only 30% of the pull force listed in the product description. This is due to the effects of gravity and the lack of friction between the surface and the shiny magnet. Read More
