Pot Magnet Ø60 mm with Internal Thread
 
The pot magnet is a magnet assembly containing a permanent magnet in a steel housing. The housing forms a magnetic circuit and directs flux from the poles towards the contact surface. In direct contact, holding force is typically much greater than that of a bare neodymium magnet. Pot magnets can use various magnetic materials, including Alnico, samarium cobalt and ferrite. This series uses neodymium (NdFeB) inserts for their high strength-to-volume ratio. The surface is nickel-coated, typically NiCuNi, to help protect against corrosion and provide a uniform industrial finish. The internal thread allows modular mounting using a screw or stud. Accessories such as hooks, eye bolts and spacers can be attached to suit the application. Nominal diameter: Ø60 mm. Nominal pull-off force under ideal conditions: 100 kg (1000 N).
 
The specified holding force (pull-off force) is a laboratory value: perpendicular pull-off on thick, flat, clean steel in direct contact. Under real conditions, including shear loads, thin sheet metal, paint or gaps, load capacity may be considerably lower. Common applications include removable attachments in manufacturing and workshops, positioning, door and lid catches, temporary mounting and holding parts during assembly. Although the steel housing protects the insert, NdFeB is hard but brittle. Avoid impacts and do not overtighten screws during installation. Observe the specified maximum operating temperature. Exceeding it may cause partial or permanent loss of magnetic strength.
 
Warning: technical product. Bring magnets together and separate them carefully. Keep away from children and devices sensitive to magnetic fields.
