Product Information

Full details

This medium-sized Neodymium Hook Magnet in black is designed for individuals and businesses needing a strong, reliable way to hang displays and items, particularly in retail environments. Its key benefit is an impressive 20kg vertical holding force in a compact size, achieved through its unique steel pot construction. A potential caveat is that optimal performance relies on direct, flush contact with a sufficiently thick mild steel surface.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this magnet can hold?

Under ideal conditions (flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness), the magnet can support up to 20kg of steel weight vertically.

What surfaces will this magnet stick to?

It will stick strongly to ferrous materials like mild steel and iron. It will not work on aluminum, plastic, wood, or non-magnetic stainless steel.

Can the hook be removed?

Yes, the hook is removable and is attached via an M4 thread, allowing for replacement or alternative mounting solutions.

Are these magnets safe for use around electronics?

While strong, these magnets should be kept a safe distance from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic storage media, and credit cards, as strong magnetic fields can potentially damage them.

How resistant are these magnets to damage?

They are designed to be resistant to chipping or cracking, even with repeated impact against steel surfaces.

What are the dimensions of the magnet?

The magnet is 25mm in diameter and 36.5mm high including the hook, or 17mm high excluding the hook.

What is the internal diameter of the hook?

The internal diameter of the hook is 7mm.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the surface is made of ferrous metal (iron or steel). Verify that the magnet is in direct, flush contact with the surface. Check that the steel surface is thick enough; thin metal may not provide optimal holding power. Clean both the magnet face and the surface to remove any dust or debris.

Hook is loose or damaged

Check if the hook is properly screwed into the M4 thread. If the thread is damaged, the hook may need to be replaced. Contact customer support if replacement parts are unavailable or if the magnet casing itself is compromised.

Magnet strength seems lower than expected

The stated 20kg force is for vertical pull in ideal conditions (flush contact with thick mild steel). Actual performance can be lower due to surface irregularities, indirect contact, or the thickness/type of the steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional holding power for its compact size (20kg vertical pull).
  • Durable construction resistant to chipping and cracking.
  • Professional and discreet appearance suitable for retail.
  • Versatile with a removable hook for various mounting needs.
  • Strong Neodymium magnet technology.

Cons

  • Optimal performance requires flush contact with a steel surface of adequate thickness.
  • Holding force can be significantly reduced on non-ferrous surfaces or with indirect contact.
  • The hook's internal diameter is limited to 7mm.
  • Primarily designed for vertical pull; shear strength may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The magnet comes with a pre-attached hook. To use, simply place the magnetic face against a clean, flat, ferrous (iron or steel) surface. The hook can be used as is, or removed by unscrewing it from the M4 threaded post if a different attachment method is required.

Compatibility: These magnets are designed to adhere strongly to mild steel and iron surfaces. They will not attract or hold onto non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, plastic, wood, or stainless steel (unless the stainless steel is magnetic).

Care: To maintain performance, keep the magnetic surfaces clean and free of debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid exposing the magnets to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, which could degrade the magnetic material or its casing. Because they are resistant to chipping and cracking, general handling should suffice, but avoid intentional dropping or forceful impacts on hard surfaces.
