Block Magnet Design and Safety Notes

The listed pull force is a comparison value under defined axial pull-off conditions, not a universal safe working load. Air gaps, target-steel thickness, surface finish, contact area, load direction, vibration, and temperature can reduce usable holding force.

This large N42 block can create severe pinch hazards and may chip if allowed to snap against another magnet or steel surface. Use nonmagnetic spacers, controlled handling fixtures, and an appropriate engineering safety factor during assembly and testing.

Use the Magnet Pull Force Calculator for preliminary estimates and compare grades in the Neodymium Magnet Grade Chart.
