Product Information

Full details

This FIRST4MAGNETS Neodymium Clamping Magnet with an M4 hook is ideal for users needing compact yet powerful magnetic solutions, particularly for Point of Sale (POS) and retail displays. Its primary benefit is combining strong magnetic force with a convenient hook attachment in a small form factor. A key consideration is that these magnets are not water-resistant, limiting their use in damp environments. The product features a robust Neodymium magnet encased in a protective steel shell, enhanced with triple nickel-copper-nickel plating for corrosion resistance, and a versatile M4 hook for various hanging applications.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this magnet can hold?

The magnet can support up to 9.7kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness. This figure can be significantly reduced by gaps, coatings, or non-ferrous materials.

Are these magnets suitable for outdoor use?

No, these magnets are not water-resistant and are designed primarily for indoor use. Exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion.

What does 'clamping magnet' mean?

A clamping magnet is designed to hold objects securely against a surface, often using a housing or feature like a hook to facilitate attachment or hanging, providing a strong, stable hold.

How do I clean the magnet?

Wipe the magnet clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, and ensure the magnet is dried completely afterwards.

Can I use this magnet on my refrigerator?

Yes, if your refrigerator door is made of mild steel, this magnet should hold securely. Ensure the surface is clean for optimal performance.

What is the difference between this and the M4 eyebolt version?

Both versions use the same strong neodymium magnet and casing. The difference lies in the attachment: this model has an M4 hook for hanging, while the sibling model features an M4 eyebolt for screwing into surfaces or attachments.

How strong is the M4 hook?

The strength of the hook depends on the item being hung and the magnet's holding power. The hook itself is integrated into the magnet's housing, designed to work with the magnet's capacity. It is suitable for hanging items within the magnet's specified holding limits.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a clean, mild steel surface. Check the thickness and type of the steel; performance is best with thick mild steel. Wipe both the magnet face and the steel surface to remove any dust or debris.

Hook seems loose or damaged

Inspect the M4 hook for any signs of physical damage. If it's a threaded connection to the magnet, ensure it is screwed in fully. For replacement, consider ordering a compatible M4 eyebolt sibling if available.

Magnet showing signs of rust or corrosion

This indicates exposure to moisture. Dry the magnet thoroughly immediately. While the triple plating offers resistance, prolonged exposure to water will eventually cause corrosion. Store in a dry place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional magnetic strength for its size.
  • Durable construction with protective steel casing and triple plating.
  • Convenient M4 hook allows for versatile hanging applications.
  • Compact dimensions make it suitable for small displays and setups.
  • Enhanced corrosion resistance for longevity in dry environments.

Cons

  • Not water-resistant, limiting use in humid or wet conditions.
  • Maximum holding power is dependent on the thickness and type of the steel surface.
  • The hook's thread length might not be suitable for all mounting requirements.
  • Potential for damage if subjected to strong lateral forces or impacts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Simply place the magnet against a suitable ferrous (iron or steel) surface. The M4 hook can be used to hang items directly or attached to other fixtures. Ensure the steel surface is clean and flat for maximum magnetic adherence.

Compatibility: These magnets are designed to adhere strongly to ferrous metal surfaces. They will *not* attract materials like aluminum, plastic, wood, or stainless steel. The M4 hook is compatible with any M4 threaded receiver or can be used as a loop for hanging.

Care: To maintain performance and appearance:

  1. Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Do not expose to water or high humidity, as the magnets are not water-resistant.
  3. Store in a dry environment away from direct heat.
  4. Keep magnets at least 30cm away from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic media, and pacemakers.
