Neodymium magnet stacking power gauss increase?
Neodymium magnet stacking power gauss increase?
(OP)
Can anyone give me some information on how much of an increase will result from stacking neodymium magnets? Will it be as significant as a single magnet of comparable size? Thank you...sorry for my ignorance.





RE: Neodymium magnet stacking power gauss increase?
When stacked, neodymium magnets behave pretty much as a single solid magnet.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to hurt myself putting my two 2"x2"x1" N50s together, though. :)

In cases where you're close to saturating any conductor (steel, usually) in the circuit or if you're dealing with a large airgap between poles, stacking can be of more help.
Like mentioned above, you won't likely see double strength for double thickness/area due to saturation and stray flux.

Could I ask for a precise answer to the question regarding the difference between one thick magnet and two of similar area but half the thickness stacked together? It's not the same question.
Thanks. (I'm so picky)
