8 Q&As About Hexagonal Magnets

Hexagonal magnets are considered to be relatively "special-shaped" magnets, belonging to the category of polygonal magnets. Some customers may also refer to them as hexagonal magnets. For customers who are new to this type of magnet, there may be some questions. Below, we have compiled some common questions for your reference.


1. What material is generally chosen for hexagonal magnets?

Currently, neodymium iron boron is predominantly used in the market due to its strong magnetic force and wide temperature tolerance range (80-220℃), which can meet most applications.


2. Is the magnetic force of the hexagonal magnet strong?

The shape does not determine the magnetic force; it primarily depends on the material, size, and performance level. Under the same size, N52 will be stronger than N35. However, if the thickness is too thin, the magnetic force will not increase.


3. Why do engineers design it into a hexagon?

The main reason is for structural compatibility and ease of installation (especially in irregular spaces).


4. How thin can a hexagonal magnet be made?

It can be made to be about 0.5mm thick. The thinner it is, the weaker the magnetic force will be, and the lower the yield rate will be. Most customers we encounter require a thickness of about 1mm.

5. How to magnetize a hexagonal magnet?

Mostly, thickness (axial) direction magnetization is chosen, but radial magnetization can also be selected.


6. What is the difference between a hexagonal magnet and a regular circular magnet?

The main difference lies in the application of shape and structure. Hexagons are more suitable for splicing, positioning, and anti-rotation structures. Circles are more versatile and cost-effective.


7. Where are hexagonal magnets mainly used?

Magnetic splicing module, smart device, positioning and anti-rotation structural design.


8. Will the hexagonal magnet be easy to break?

Under normal use, it won't break. However, if impacted, neodymium iron boron magnets are prone to shattering, especially at sharp corners. In some applications, they are embedded in metal structural components, making them less likely to break.


The above are some common questions about hexagonal magnets. Our company can customize the hexagonal magnets you want according to your requirements, including drilling. For a quotation, please inquire.
