Bar magnets / magnetic rods made of neodymium

The advantage of the bar magnets is the handling. Due to the elongated design, the magnets are easy to hold- and therefore be used on a memo board. The bar magnets can be put together in any length by lining up individual magnets. Almost all bar magnets made of neodymium have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). However, some rods are magnetized diametrically (by diameter). Bar magnets are often required for school use with a colored marking (red / green). You will find a large selection of these school blocks and horseshoes in our school magnets category.

The advantages of our bar magnets / magnetic rods

The practical rod shape of our magnets offers a whole range of different applications possibilities. Whether in a noble look as closure for your jewelry or as a creative piece of fitment in your household, our power packages are versatile and have a number of advantages. A highlight: Magnetic bars from the Magnet Shop can be divided on the circular areas so that a new north and south pole is created. The magnetic bars are therefore not only efficient, but can even be multiplied.

This is how bar magnets are used

Thanks to our wide selection, you will find the right bar magnet for every purpose. In industry, for example, the rods made of neodymium alloy (neodymium iron boron NdFeB), which as super magnets have an extremely high adhesive force, are mainly used as coupling elements. Nails or metal shavings are also easier to collect with long bar magnets than to bend down constantly. In the household, the special magnetism system can be used, for example, to hold iron-containing dishes or cutlery by a rod hanging from the ceiling. A functional magnetic rod is transformed into an attractive decorative element.

Bar magnets for whiteboards and magnetic boards

Especially when used on a whiteboard, our rod-shaped super magnets easily attach photos, notes, drawings or flyers. The advantage here is directly 'in hand'. The shape, size and height of bar magnets make them easier to grasp on a magnetic board than flat disc magnets. In terms of adhesive strength, you are in no way inferior to the disc magnets thanks to the neodymium iron boron alloy (NdFeB).

Bar magnets: magnetic closure for jewelry

Usually, the complicated closure of a necklace or a bracelet can drive you crazy. Not so, with a closure made of two small bar magnets in a precious metal look. The small sticks are attached once to the two ends of a piece of jewelry and can be closed repeatedly by the magnetic interaction of the two ends. Small magnetic rods with a small diameter are particularly suitable here, for example, they are nicely nickel-plated. You will be amazed at how high the adhesive force of even the smallest bar magnets is.

Bar magnets for experiments in school

Children learn practically - and exactly this claim, is what our large bar magnets meet. This is where the inquisitive offspring learns, that many materials react to magnets. Our super magnets magically attract whether a nail, a paper clip or a matchbox car - metallic objects, while corks or plastic do not move an inch. For older generations, the magnetic field lines can be traced using bar magnets and iron filings - an experiment that is compulsory at school. The magnetic rods are also suitable for experiments with a compass, since they influence the natural magnetic field, can be visibly reproduced by the eyes.

Bar magnets for sculptures

Are you artistically talented and would you like to try something new? Then try our kinetic sculptures. For example, small and large bar magnets are attached to a ball magnet from the Magnet Shop range. Sun-like, three-dimensional figures can be developed and many other simple and complex designs can be implemented. The figures can always be reassembled as required and thus offer a great playful approach for at home or in the office.

What does the direction of magnetization of bar magnets mean?

As soon as we split a rod-shaped super magnet into two parts on the circular surfaces, it has a north and south pole. The adhesive force of the bar magnets is strongest at their poles. In the center, a bar magnet has no relevant magnetization. The length of the magnet axis determines the direction of magnetization. A bar magnet with dimensions of 15 x 8 x 5 millimeters with a magnetization direction of 5 millimeters has its poles on the large rectangular surfaces. If the magnetization direction would be 15 millimeters, the poles would be on the narrow side surfaces.

Axially magnetized bar magnets

Most of the magnetic bars that you can find in our magnet shop are usually axially magnetized. Means: The north and south poles are at the end of the acquired staff. This can be transferred to a compass. The magnets react to objects like a compass needle. There is hardly any attraction in the middle of the super magnet.

Diametrically magnetized bar magnets

In exceptional cases, our magnetic bars can also be magnetized diametrically. With this type of magnetism, the north and south poles of the rod are not at the end, but on the long side of the product. The magnetic waves radiate from the left and right side and not, as usual, from above or from below. If several bars are paired, this is done with axially magnetized bar magnets like a freight train, while diametrically magnetized bars like fish sticks can be lined up on the baking sheet.
