N42 neodymium block magnet measuring 2 × 2 × 1 inches, magnetized through the 1-inch thickness and Ni-Cu-Ni plated, with a listed 5,635.28 gauss surface field and 279.37 lb pull force. SKU 8749.
SKU 8749 is an N42 neodymium block magnet measuring 2 × 2 × 1 inches. It is magnetized through the 1-inch thickness, placing the north and south poles on the two broad 2 × 2-inch faces. This large, high-force rectangular magnet is suited to industrial holding, fixtures, separation equipment, prototypes, and production assemblies where a compact footprint and strong magnetic attraction are required.

Plan the assembly and handling method before bringing this magnet near steel or another magnet. Its high listed force can create pinch hazards and damaging impacts. Use suitable spacing, guarding, and controlled installation methods. Sintered neodymium is hard and brittle, so avoid snap-together collisions, uneven clamping, and mechanical shock.
The listed 279.37 lb pull force is a comparison value under defined contact conditions, not a guaranteed safe working load. Air gaps, target-steel thickness, surface roughness, coating, shear loading, and mounting geometry can reduce usable force.
Use the magnet pull force calculator for preliminary screening and compare material options in the neodymium magnet grade chart. Browse more neodymium block magnets, or submit the magnet RFQ builder for volume pricing or a custom requirement.
