• No electrical power requirement
• Broad industrial and general-purpose use

The specific ferrite grade has not been supplied for this product and should not be assumed.

How a Ferrite Pot Magnet Works

A pot magnet combines permanent magnetic material with a surrounding housing to create a focused magnetic assembly.

The pot-style housing helps direct and concentrate magnetic flux toward the primary working face.

This makes ferrite pot magnets particularly useful for applications involving:

• Holding
• Positioning
• Retention
• Fixtures
• Equipment integration
• Removable components

The exact housing material and construction have not been supplied for this product.

Low-Profile Magnetic Holding

At only 7mm high, this ferrite pot magnet provides a shallow magnetic profile that can be useful where installation depth is restricted.

Potential applications include:

• Shallow recesses
• Slim equipment assemblies
• Furniture
• Cabinetry
• Displays
• Signs
• Machinery
• Removable panels
• Production fixtures

Where the magnet is installed into a recess or housing, provide suitable clearance and avoid force-fitting the assembly.

Industrial and Manufacturing Applications

Ferrite pot magnets can provide an economical solution for industrial magnetic holding and positioning.

Potential uses include:

• Manufacturing fixtures
• Assembly equipment
• Positioning systems
• Machinery
• Equipment components
• Inspection fixtures
• Removable parts
• Prototype systems

Where vibration, shock, movement or dynamic loads are present, the magnetic attachment should be tested under actual operating conditions.

Fixtures and Jigs

The combination of a 36mm circular footprint and shallow 7mm profile can make this pot magnet suitable for integration into fixtures and jigs.

Potential applications include:

• Assembly fixtures
• Positioning guides
• Inspection equipment
• Temporary stops
• Removable components
• Production tooling
• Prototype fixtures

The mounting configuration for this product has not been supplied. Do not assume the magnet includes a countersunk hole, round mounting hole, threaded connection or mounting stud unless separately specified.

Magnetic Performance

The practical holding performance of this ferrite pot magnet depends on factors including:

• Ferrite grade
• Magnetic circuit design
• Target steel composition
• Target steel thickness
• Available contact area
• Surface flatness
• Air gaps
• Paint and coatings
• Rust and contamination
• Load direction
• Surface friction
• Mechanical leverage
• Vibration and shock

No specific pull force or magnetic flux density in Gauss has been supplied for this product and these values should not be inferred from the 36mm diameter.

Direct Pull vs Shear Force

Magnetic holding performance varies according to the direction of the applied load.

Direct pull occurs when the magnet is pulled perpendicular to the target steel surface.

Shear force occurs when the load acts parallel to the surface and encourages the magnet to slide.

Practical holding on vertical steel can therefore be considerably lower than an ideal direct-pull result.

Friction, leverage, vibration and dynamic movement can further influence holding performance.

Air Gaps and Surface Contact

Ferrite pot magnets generally provide their best magnetic performance when the primary working face has close, flat contact with suitable ferromagnetic steel.

Magnetic attraction can be reduced by gaps created by:

• Paint
• Powder coating
• Protective films
• Adhesive layers
• Dirt
• Rust
• Uneven surfaces
• Surface curvature

For improved magnetic holding, minimise unnecessary separation between the magnetic working face and target steel wherever practical.

Compatible Target Materials

This ferrite pot magnet is designed to attract suitable ferromagnetic materials, including:

• Mild steel
• Iron
• Magnetic steel
• Compatible ferromagnetic machinery components

It will not effectively attract non-magnetic materials such as:

• Aluminium
• Copper
• Brass
• Plastic
• Timber
• Glass

Many stainless steel grades may also be weakly magnetic or non-magnetic and should be tested before relying on magnetic attachment.

Ferrite Pot Magnet vs Standard Ferrite Magnet

A standard ferrite disc or block magnet exposes its magnetic field differently from a pot-style magnetic assembly.

A ferrite pot magnet incorporates the magnetic material into a housing that helps direct the magnetic circuit toward the primary working face.

This makes pot magnets particularly useful for magnetic holding and positioning applications where attraction is primarily required from one side of the assembly.

Ferrite vs Neodymium Pot Magnets

Ferrite and neodymium pot magnets provide different advantages.

Ferrite pot magnets are generally selected for:

• Economical magnetic holding
• Good natural corrosion resistance
• Good resistance to demagnetisation
• General-purpose industrial applications
• Applications where maximum magnetic performance relative to size is not essential

Neodymium pot magnets generally provide:

• Higher magnetic performance relative to physical size
• Greater magnetic strength from compact dimensions
• Advantages where installation space is restricted

Ferrite can be an effective option where the available installation space accommodates the required magnet size and economical permanent magnetic performance is preferred.

Permanent Magnetic Operation

This ferrite pot magnet uses a permanent magnetic system.

It requires:

• No electricity
• No batteries
• No charging
• No external power supply

Magnetic attraction remains continuously active during normal use.

Handling Ferrite Pot Magnets

Ferrite is a hard and brittle ceramic magnetic material and should be handled carefully.

Avoid:

• Dropping the magnet onto hard surfaces
• Allowing magnets to collide forcefully
• Striking the magnetic assembly
• Applying unnecessary impact
• Force-fitting into undersized recesses
• Drilling or modifying the ferrite magnet
• Cutting or machining the magnetic material

Ferrite can chip, crack or break when subjected to impact or inappropriate mechanical loading.

Safety Information

Permanent magnets should be handled and stored carefully.

Keep magnets an appropriate distance from:

• Pacemakers
• Implanted medical devices
• Magnetic storage media
• Magnetic cards
• Sensitive electronic equipment

Keep this product securely away from babies and children.

Where unexpected magnetic release could result in injury, falling equipment or property damage, use appropriate secondary mechanical retention rather than relying solely on magnetic attraction.
