The measurement of a cylindrical bar magnet refers to its length and diameter. | |||
 |
The length of a cylinder bar magnet refers to the distance between the two ends. The length can range from 2mm (0.08″) to 340mm (13″).
Adding length to a magnet does not necessarily increase its strength. This is because many longer length bar magnets have the magnetic material on the ends, with just added metal in the middle. |
|||
 |
The diameter is the measurement of a straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points on the end of the bar magnets circumference The diameter can range from 1mm (0.04″) to 25mm (1″). | |||
 |
The magnetic pull ranges from 0.44kg to 12kg. | |||
