FAQs

What is the maximum weight this magnet can hold?

The magnet can support a steel weight of up to 9.7kg vertically when in flush contact with a suitable mild steel surface of equal thickness.

Can I use this magnet underwater?

No, these magnets are not suitable for underwater applications due to their coating and construction.

What are the dimensions of the magnet?

The magnet has a diameter of 16mm and a height of 32mm.

What is the size of the eyebolt thread?

The eyebolt has an M4 thread, and the length from the tip of the thread to the top of the eyebolt is 26mm.

How do I clean the magnet?

Clean the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What makes this magnet resistant to chipping?

The Neodymium magnet is recessed into a steel shell (pot), which protects it from direct impact and reduces the risk of chipping or cracking.

Can the eyebolt be removed?

Yes, the eyebolt is removable and features an M4 thread, allowing for customization if needed.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding strongly

Ensure the steel surface is clean, flat, and made of mild steel. Verify the magnet is in full, flush contact. Check the thickness of the steel; thicker steel generally provides better holding force. Test with a different steel object or surface.

Eyebolt feels loose

Gently tighten the eyebolt by hand or with an appropriate tool. If it continues to loosen, consider using a thread-locking compound suitable for metal threads (ensure it doesn't interfere with magnetic function).

Magnet surface is scratched or damaged

Minor scratches may not significantly impact magnetic strength but can affect corrosion resistance. For significant damage, consider replacing the magnet, especially if corrosion becomes apparent.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the magnet

This indicates the protective coating has been compromised. Clean the affected area gently and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of protective oil or wax if the magnet will be stored long-term, or consider replacement if the corrosion is severe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional holding force for its compact size.
  • Durable construction resistant to impact damage.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating extends product life.
  • Removable eyebolt offers flexible mounting options.
  • Ideal for visual merchandising and display applications.

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in wet or underwater environments.
  • Holding force is dependent on the thickness and type of steel surface.
  • Small size may require careful handling to avoid pinching.
  • Requires a steel surface for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The magnet comes with a pre-attached M4 eyebolt. Ensure the eyebolt is securely tightened before use. The eyebolt can be removed if a different attachment method is required, provided it is compatible with the M4 thread.

Compatibility: This magnet requires a clean, flat, mild steel surface of adequate thickness for maximum holding power. It is *not* compatible with non-ferrous materials like wood, plastic, or aluminum. The magnetic face should be in direct contact with the steel.

Care: To maintain the magnet's performance and appearance, wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. While the coating offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or very humid environments may still degrade the finish over time. Keep away from sensitive electronic devices as strong magnets can interfere with their operation.
