Common Applications
This neodymium disc magnet is commonly used for:
- Fridge magnets, crafts, packaging and lightweight display projects
- Concealed magnetic closures in cabinetry, joinery and retail displays
- Recessed timber, gyprock and similar-material installations
- Small workshop, home and hobby projects requiring a compact holding magnet
Choosing and Using This Product
This 6mm x 3mm disc magnet is well suited to applications that need substantial holding strength in a compact, easily concealed format. Its thickness makes it particularly useful for rebating into timber, gyprock or similar materials, while its disc shape allows it to be slid or repositioned by hand. Install it with an appropriate adhesive or a correctly sized recess, ensuring the magnet’s poles face the intended steel surface or matching magnet. For the strongest result, install the magnet against a clean, flat and sufficiently thick ferromagnetic surface with minimal air gap.
The stated pull force is measured under ideal test conditions. Actual holding performance can be reduced by vertical loading, thin steel, coatings, surface gaps, uneven contact, vibration or elevated temperatures.
Safety and Handling
This compact neodymium magnet is powerful for its size and can attract suddenly to steel or other magnets. Keep it away from children, as small magnets present a serious swallowing hazard. Avoid allowing magnets to snap together, as the nickel coating can chip or crack. Keep magnets clear of electronic devices, bank cards and other magnetically sensitive items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this product best used for?
It is best used for compact concealed fixings, fridge magnets, craft projects, cabinetry, timber rebates and lightweight display applications.
Will it hold a small timber door or display panel?
It may be suitable for lightweight doors, panels and closures when paired with a suitable steel strike plate or matching magnet. Performance depends on the panel weight, mounting method, contact area, alignment and any air gap, so testing in the finished application is recommended.
Why buy this magnet?
This N45 neodymium disc offers strong holding performance in a small 6mm x 3mm format, with a nickel coating for added corrosion resistance. Its compact dimensions make it easy to conceal or rebate into a project. Free Shipping from AMF Magnetics is available Australia-wide.
