Ferrite Disc Magnet - 8mm x 5mm

Ferrite Disc Magnet - 8mm x 5mm

Compact, durable, and highly economical, this Ferrite Disc Magnet measures 8mm in diameter x 5mm in thickness and is manufactured from high-quality ferrite magnetic material. Designed for reliable everyday performance, this permanent magnet is ideal for industrial, commercial, educational, and DIY applications where corrosion resistance, durability, and affordability are essential.

Ferrite magnets are one of the most commonly used permanent magnet materials thanks to their excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, moisture, and demagnetisation. Unlike rare earth magnets, ferrite magnets require no protective coating, making them a maintenance-free solution suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Magnetised through the 5mm thickness (axially magnetised), this ferrite disc magnet generates a stable magnetic field across its flat circular faces. Its compact size and thicker profile make it suitable for magnetic catches, product assembly, educational resources, workshop fixtures, displays, craft projects, and general-purpose magnetic holding applications.

Please Note

Ferrite magnets are hard and durable but can be brittle if dropped or subjected to impact. While ferrite magnets generally have lower magnetic strength than neodymium magnets, they offer outstanding corrosion resistance, long service life, and excellent value for money. Keep away from children, pacemakers, sensitive electronic devices, and magnetic storage media. Holding strength will vary depending on the application and the type of steel surface being attracted.
