This powerful ferrite pot magnet is ideal for industrial, craft, and DIY applications requiring a strong, reliable hold. Offering outstanding value, its key benefit is a 60kg maximum pull force combined with excellent resistance to demagnetization and corrosion, even at high temperatures. A significant caveat is its extreme strength, necessitating careful handling to avoid injury.

The magnet has a maximum pull force of 60kg under ideal conditions (flush contact with a thick, mild steel surface). Actual holding weight can be significantly less depending on the application and surface.
The magnet itself is resistant to corrosion without extra coating. However, prolonged immersion in water, especially saltwater, is not recommended as it could eventually affect the steel shell or threaded collar.
The M10 threaded collar is a female thread (15mm deep) on the magnet. You can screw an M10 bolt or stud into this thread to attach the magnet to another object or surface.
Yes, its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures makes it suitable for many outdoor applications, provided it's mounted securely and not exposed to extreme conditions beyond its specifications.
Handle with care. Keep away from credit cards, pacemakers, and electronic devices. Avoid pinching fingers between the magnet and a steel surface. Use a sliding motion to separate magnets.
Ferrite magnets are permanent magnets made from a ceramic compound of iron oxide and other metallic elements. They are known for their resistance to demagnetization and corrosion.
A 'pot magnet' refers to a magnet encased within a steel shell, often with a threaded hole or stud. The steel pot focuses the magnetic field, significantly increasing the magnet's holding power (adhesion force).
Ensure the steel surface is clean, flat, and at least as thick as the magnet. Remove any paint, rust, or coatings. Check for air gaps between the magnet and the surface.
Try to slide the magnet sideways off the surface. Using a lever or placing a thin, non-magnetic material (like plastic) between the magnet and surface before attaching can aid separation.
Ensure the magnet has not been subjected to extreme heat (above 180°C) or strong opposing magnetic fields. Store with a steel keeper when not in use.
Setup: The M10 threaded collar allows for easy integration. Use a compatible M10 bolt or screw to attach the magnet to your desired surface or structure. Ensure the mating steel surface is clean, flat, and free from paint or rust for maximum magnetic pull.
Compatibility: This magnet is designed to adhere to ferromagnetic materials, primarily steel. Its performance will vary based on the thickness and composition of the steel surface.
Care: Due to its powerful magnetic field, keep this magnet away from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic storage media, and pacemakers. To handle, slide the magnet off surfaces rather than pulling directly. Store it with a steel keeper to prevent accidental adhesion and demagnetization. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials.
