6mm x 3mm (15/64" x 1/8") Diametric Neodymium Disc Magnet – N52 Grade

Key Features:

• Dimensions: 6mm diameter × 3mm thickness (Approx. 15/64" × 1/8")
• Pull Force: Approx. 2.95 lbs
• Magnet Grade: N52 
• Magnetization: Diametrically Magnetized (Poles are on the curved sides/edges)
• Coating: Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer plating
• Shape: Specialty Disc

Material Description:

Our 6x3mm diametric magnets are essential for rotational sensors and specialized hobby projects. Because the poles are located on the edges, these magnets will rotate to align themselves when placed near a magnetic field, rather than just snapping flat. They offer the highest magnetic flux density available in an N52 rare earth material.

Tech Tip: Diametric magnets behave differently than standard discs. They are often used in pairs to create a "rolling" motion or as a rotor in micro-motors and rotary encoders.

Warnings and Safety Information:

• Choking Hazard: Small size is dangerous for children and pets. Keep strictly in a secure container.
• Specialty Handling: These will not "stack" flat like normal magnets; they will try to align edge-to-edge.
• Medical Safety: Keep away from pacemakers and sensitive medical implants.
• Brittleness: Like all neodymium, these can chip if allowed to snap together with force.

Applications:

• Rotary encoders and non-contact position sensors
• Custom micro-motors and wind turbine prototypes
• Magnetic jewelry with "twisting" or "rolling" features
• Scientific experiments demonstrating magnetic field orientation
• Specialized "magic" tricks and kinetic desk toys
