The Neodymium magnets are sunken into a steel shell, meaning the north pole is on the centre of the magnetic face and the south pole is on the outer edge around it. The steel pot increases the adhesive force of the magnets, giving them an incredible hold for their size. An added advantage of these magnets is that they are resistant to chipping or cracking following constant impact with a steel surface. However, they are not suitable for underwater applications. This product is often utilised in applications where you require an instant fixing. It can be attached and removed without the need for additional equipment, greatly decreasing downtime and labour. Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 36.4kg vertically from the magnetic face when in flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness. Specifications: 32mm diameter x 38mm high. The internal diameter of the eyebolt is 13mm and is 35mm from the tip of its thread to the top. Removable eyebolt with M6 thread.
This first4magnetsTM Neodymium Clamping Magnet is designed for users needing a strong, immediate fixing solution without additional tools. Its key benefit is an impressive 36.4kg pull force in a compact size, thanks to its steel pot and Neodymium core. A key caveat is that it is not suitable for underwater use. This magnet features a removable M6 eyebolt and offers resistance to chipping.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum weight this magnet can hold?
The magnet has a maximum vertical pull force of 36.4kg when in direct, flush contact with a suitable mild steel surface of equal thickness.
Can I use this magnet underwater?
No, this magnet is not suitable for underwater applications.
What size is the eyebolt thread?
The eyebolt has an M6 thread.
How do I clean the magnet?
Wipe the magnet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What material surfaces does this magnet work best on?
It works best on clean, flat, mild steel surfaces. It will not work on non-ferrous materials like aluminum or plastic.
What are the dimensions of the magnet?
The magnet has a diameter of 32mm and a height of 38mm.
Is the eyebolt permanent?
No, the eyebolt is removable. It screws into an M6 thread on the top of the magnet.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not holding securely
Ensure the steel surface is clean, flat, and thick enough. Check that the magnet is in full, flush contact and not obstructed by dirt, paint, or unevenness.
Eyebolt is difficult to remove/install
Ensure the threads are clean and free from debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary, but avoid getting any on the magnetic face.
Reduced magnetic force over time
Check for any physical damage to the magnet or steel shell. Ensure it has not been exposed to excessive heat or strong opposing magnetic fields.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional holding power for its size (36.4kg pull).
Durable construction resists chipping and cracking from impact.
Quick and easy to attach and detach, saving labor and time.
Versatile with a removable eyebolt for various mounting options.
Compact dimensions (32mm diameter x 38mm height) allow for use in tight spaces.
Cons
Not suitable for underwater applications.
Pull force is dependent on surface contact and material thickness.
Requires a flat, clean, mild steel surface for maximum effectiveness.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the steel surface is clean, dry, and free from rust or paint that could reduce magnetic contact.
For maximum pull force, the steel surface should be at least 32mm thick and flat.
Attach or suspend the magnet using the M6 eyebolt, or use the magnetic face directly if preferred (eyebolt can be unscrewed).
Compatibility:
This magnet is designed for use with mild steel surfaces.
It is not effective on non-ferrous materials like aluminum, plastic, or wood.
Not suitable for use in water or highly humid environments as moisture can affect performance and longevity.
Care:
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Store away from sensitive electronic devices, credit cards, and magnetic media.
Inspect regularly for any damage to the steel shell or magnet.
