Product Information

Full details

This FIRST4MAGNETS Pot Magnet is designed for engineering and manufacturing professionals requiring secure clamping solutions, especially in high-temperature environments. Its key benefit is the robust magnetic force combined with a protective steel shell, offering enhanced durability and strength for assembly applications. A potential caveat is its specific M6 threaded hole, limiting direct mounting options without appropriate hardware. Key features include its high operating temperature tolerance, corrosion resistance, and a strong pull force ideal for fixed installations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum operating temperature for this magnet?

This pot magnet has a maximum operating temperature of 220 degrees Celsius.

What type of thread does the mounting hole have?

The magnet features an M6 threaded hole for mounting.

How is the pull force measured?

The pull force of 6kg is measured under ideal conditions, typically with the magnet directly attached to a thick, flat mild steel plate.

Can this magnet be used outdoors?

Yes, the magnet is corrosion-resistant and features a protective coating, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

What materials can this magnet attract?

This magnet will attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron and steel.

How do I clean the magnet?

Clean the magnet using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the protective coating.

What is the advantage of the steel outer shell?

The steel outer shell protects the magnet from damage and also concentrates the magnetic field, increasing the holding strength on the magnetic face.

Troubleshooting

Reduced holding force

Ensure the mating surface is clean, flat, and free of paint, rust, or debris. Verify the object being held is sufficiently thick and made of a ferromagnetic material. Check for any damage to the magnet's surface or protective coating.

Difficulty threading bolt into M6 hole

Ensure you are using an M6 bolt of the correct thread pitch. Clean any debris from the threaded hole before attempting to insert the bolt. Do not force the bolt; if resistance is met, remove and re-inspect.

Magnet exposed to excessive heat

While rated for 220°C, prolonged exposure at the upper limit can degrade magnetic strength over time. Allow the magnet to cool naturally if it has been heated. For applications exceeding this temperature, alternative materials may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for high-temperature applications due to its 220°C operating limit.
  • Corrosion-resistant properties make it suitable for outdoor or challenging environments.
  • Steel shell provides added protection and boosts magnetic face strength.
  • M6 threaded hole simplifies secure mounting to assemblies.
  • Durable construction with epoxy coating enhances longevity.

Cons

  • Pull force is static and may vary based on the surface material and condition.
  • Requires compatible M6 hardware for mounting, limiting direct adhesion.
  • Primarily designed for clamping applications, may not be suitable for dynamic or shear force scenarios.
  • The specific diameter and thickness may not fit all project constraints.
  • Not intended for use in abrasive environments without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, align the M6 threaded hole with a corresponding M6 bolt or screw. Ensure the bolt is long enough to engage securely with the threaded insert within the magnet. Tighten the bolt to secure the magnet to your desired surface or assembly. For optimal performance, ensure the mating surface is clean, flat, and made of a ferromagnetic material (like steel or iron).

Compatibility: This magnet is compatible with any M6 threaded fastener. It is designed to work best with flat, clean ferrous surfaces. The pull force is rated under ideal conditions (e.g., a 10mm thick mild steel plate).

Care: Clean the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the protective epoxy coating. Ensure the threaded hole remains free of debris. For prolonged outdoor use, regularly inspect the coating for any damage and consider additional protective measures if necessary.
