This Alnico Shallow Pot Magnet is designed for engineering and manufacturing professionals needing robust clamping solutions in confined spaces, especially in high-temperature environments up to 450°C. Its key benefit is a strong, concentrated magnetic pull due to its protective steel outer shell, ideal for secure fixture. A potential caveat is its fixed pull force, which may not suit all applications.

This Alnico magnet is designed for high-temperature applications and can operate reliably up to 450 degrees Celsius.
The steel outer shell acts as a protective unit and also concentrates the magnetic field on the working face, thereby increasing its effective pull force.
It refers to the magnet's design where the magnetic material is housed within a shallow steel casing, allowing for a low profile while still providing a strong magnetic hold.
This specific model has a pull force of 5 kilograms (approximately 11 pounds) when in direct contact with a suitable ferromagnetic surface.
While the magnet has a protective epoxy coating, prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended without additional protection, as it could potentially affect the steel casing over time.
The magnet features a 5.2mm diameter countersunk hole, designed to be secured using a corresponding screw or bolt onto an assembly.
This magnet will attract ferromagnetic materials, primarily iron and steel. It will not attract aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, or other non-ferrous materials.
Ensure the target surface is clean, flat, and made of a suitable ferromagnetic material. Check for any obstructions or coatings on the surface or magnet. Verify the object being attracted is also ferromagnetic.
Handle the magnet with care, avoiding sharp impacts or dropping it. Alnico magnets can be brittle. If chipped, it may still function, but inspect for further damage.
Avoid exposing the magnet to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures beyond its rated limit. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If coating is significantly damaged, the magnet may be compromised.
Setup: To install, align the 5.2mm countersunk hole with a corresponding screw or bolt on your assembly. Use a screw that fits flush or below the surface to maintain the magnet's profile. Ensure the surface the magnet will attach to is clean, flat, and made of a ferromagnetic material (like steel or iron) for optimal performance.
Compatibility: This magnet is designed to work best with flat, clean, ferromagnetic surfaces. Its performance will be reduced if the surface is rough, painted, heavily rusted, or made of non-ferrous materials.
Care: Clean the magnet with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the epoxy coating. Protect the magnet from strong impacts that could cause chipping or cracking. Store away from sensitive electronic devices if not in use, as strong magnets can interfere with them.
