Neodymium Magnet Grade Comparison: N35 vs N42 vs N52
Looking for the difference between N35, N42 and N52 magnets? The table below gives a quick comparison to help you choose the right strength, budget and application.
| Grade | Typical Strength Level | Pull Force | Temperature Rating | Price Range | Best Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N35 | Standard neodymium strength | Lower than N42 and N52 for the same size | Up to 80°C | From £0.04/unit* | Crafts, packaging, lightweight closures, model making |
| N42 | High strength | Strong everyday performance | Up to 80°C | From £0.05/unit* | General engineering, signage, furniture, displays, workshop use |
| N52 | Ultra high performance | Highest pull force for the same size | Up to 80°C | From £0.35/unit* | Industrial holding, compact assemblies, high-performance engineering, specialist applications |
*Unit prices based on bulk orders. Final pricing depends on size and quantity.
Quick guide:
Choose N35 when you want a cost-effective magnet for lighter-duty jobs.Choose N42 for a strong all-round option across DIY, workshop and commercial use.
Choose N52 when you need maximum magnetic strength in the smallest possible space.

Neodymium Magnet Applications
Neodymium Magnets for Craft & DIY
Neodymium magnets are a popular choice for craft and DIY projects because they deliver a strong hold in a small, discreet size. They are ideal for model making, paper crafts, hidden closures, gift boxes, display boards, signage and home organisation.
Small disc magnets are especially useful where you need a neat finish, while magnetic tape and strips can work well for lightweight displays and creative applications. You can also explore our Craft & Model Making magnets range for project-specific options.
Neodymium Magnets for Industrial Use
In industrial and workshop environments, neodymium magnets are used for holding, fixing, positioning, mounting and retrieval tasks. Their high strength-to-size ratio makes them well suited to jigs, fixtures, production lines, access panels, door catches and fabrication work.
For mounted applications, browse our neodymium countersunk magnets. For stronger mounted holding and clamping, view our pot and clamping magnets. If you need compact high-strength rectangular options, shop rectangular neodymium magnets.
Neodymium Magnets for Sensors & Electronics
Neodymium magnets are widely used in sensors, reed switch assemblies, motors, speakers, encoders and other electronic components where strong magnetic performance is needed in a compact form.
Ring magnets are often used in rotating systems and electronic assemblies, while radially magnetised magnets can be a useful choice for more specialist technical applications. For compact high-performance options, you can also browse our N52 magnets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are neodymium magnets made of?
Neodymium magnets are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). This combination creates an extremely strong magnetic field compared to other magnet types. They are typically coated with materials such as nickel, zinc, or epoxy to help protect against corrosion and wear. Our neodymium magnets are triple coated with Nickel, Copper, Nickel, and we have a range of zinc plated and epoxy coated Neodymium magnets available too.
What is the strongest Neodymium magnet grade?
Whilst N55 and N58 grades do exist, the strongest commonly available neodymium magnet grade is N52, which offers the highest magnetic strength among standard grades. Higher grades provide greater pull force in a smaller size, making them ideal for demanding applications such as engineering, manufacturing, and high-performance assemblies. If you need maximum strength, browse our range of high-strength N52 Neodymium magnets.
Are Neodymium magnets dangerous?
Neodymium magnets can be dangerous if not handled correctly because of their strong magnetic force. Larger magnets can snap together suddenly, potentially causing injury or damaging surfaces. They can also interfere with electronic devices and should be kept away from medical implants such as pacemakers. It is important to follow proper handling guidelines when using strong neodymium magnets, especially in industrial or workshop environments. These guidelines are included as standard with every magnet sold.
What is the difference between N35 and N52 Neodymium magnets?
The main difference between N35 and N52 neodymium magnets is their magnetic strength. N52 magnets are significantly stronger than N35 magnets of the same size, offering higher pull force and performance. N35 magnets are often used for general-purpose applications, while N52 magnets are better suited for situations where maximum strength is required. You can compare different options in our neodymium magnet range here to find the best fit for your application.
How long do Neodymium magnets last?
Neodymium magnets can last for many years without losing their strength if they are used and stored correctly. In normal conditions, they typically lose less than 1% of their magnetism over a decade. Their lifespan can be affected by factors such as heat, corrosion, and physical damage, so choosing the right coating and grade is important. Our neodymium magnets are designed for long-term performance across a wide range of applications.
Can neodymium magnets lose their magnetism?
Yes, neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism under certain conditions, such as exposure to high temperatures, strong opposing magnetic fields, or physical damage. However, under normal operating conditions, they retain their strength extremely well over time. Selecting the correct grade and using appropriate protection helps maintain performance, which is why it is important to choose from a reliable range of quality neodymium magnets.
