relation to the thickness of the magnet. The X-axis shows the ratio of magnet thickness (or height) [h] to magnet diameter [d] and the Y-axis
shows the relative peak amplitude with reference to the recommended magnet (d=6mm, h=2.5mm). This results in an h/d ratio of 0.42.

As the graph in
Therefore, the recommended thickness of 2.5mm (at 6mm diameter) should be considered as the low limit with regards to magnet thickness.
It is possible to get 40% or more signal amplitude by using thicker magnets. However, the gain in signal amplitude becomes less significant for h/
d ratios >~1.3. Therefore, the recommended magnet thickness for a 6mm diameter magnet is between 2.5 and ~8 mm.
