I have a chart and a graph for a ferrite magnet grade 5 / Y30, but I do not understand them and want to know what is the pull force of the magnet and how to read it on these 2 documents?

[Colin2B]

You can’t read pull strength from these charts, you will need to look at a specific magnet shape and size on a supplier website.
Y30 is a ferrite and won’t be very powerful eg 0.25 - 0.4kg could be less depending on configuration.

I'm not certain, but I think (in this case) Kg is kilo Gauss rather than kilo grams.

Correct, Br is the remanence in milliTesla and kiloGauss

Most calculators seem to be for neodymium magnets but I have found an online ferrite magnet calculator to work out the pull force at adamsmagnetic website. (Not allowed to put the link)

The disc magnet is 20mm diameter x 3mm thick.

So I put:

OD outer diameter: 20 (although it didn't ask if it was mm)
Thickness: 3
Gap: 0
Material Ferrite
Grade Ceramic 5

Then I clicked calculate. The result was Fz 580.24 lbs

This can't be the correct pull force. What am I doing wrong? Or is there a better calculator I can use?

[Colin2B]

I think it is using inches. I put in 0.5 OD and 0.2 thick which is a C5 they sell and it returned 0.9lb which sounds reasonable.
