Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Magnet

This pot magnet incorporates Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), a high-performance rare earth permanent magnetic material.

Neodymium magnets are widely used in industrial and engineering applications because they can provide high magnetic performance relative to their physical size.

Typical characteristics include:

• High magnetic performance relative to size
• Strong attraction to compatible ferromagnetic materials
• Compact permanent magnetic construction
• Suitability for industrial and engineering assemblies
• Permanent magnetic operation
• No external electrical power requirement

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

How a Neodymium 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, making the magnet particularly useful where magnetic attraction is primarily required from one side of the assembly.

This configuration is commonly suited to:

• Magnetic holding
• Positioning
• Retention
• Equipment mounting
• Fixtures
• Jigs
• Removable components

The housing also provides a practical structure for integrating the magnetic material into mechanical equipment.

The exact housing material and surface finish have not been supplied.

Countersunk Mounting Hole

This neodymium pot magnet features a countersunk mounting hole, allowing the assembly to be mechanically secured using a compatible countersunk-head fastener.

Countersunk mounting can be useful for:

• Fixtures and jigs
• Machinery
• Equipment assemblies
• Signage
• Displays
• Furniture
• Cabinetry
• Custom mounting systems

The specific countersunk-hole diameter, countersink dimensions and compatible screw or bolt size have not been supplied and should be confirmed before installation.

Installing a Countersunk Pot Magnet

When installing the magnet:

• Select a compatible countersunk fastener
• Confirm the required fastener dimensions
• Ensure the supporting substrate is suitable
• Keep the primary magnetic working face unobstructed
• Tighten the fastener evenly
• Avoid excessive torque
• Confirm secure mounting before applying a load

Do not overtighten the countersunk fastener.

Neodymium magnetic material is hard and brittle. Excessive mechanical force around the countersunk mounting area may crack or damage the magnetic component.

Industrial Fixtures and Jigs

The broad 60mm diameter can make this pot magnet useful for appropriately designed industrial fixtures and jigs.

Potential applications include:

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

For applications involving movement, vibration or shock, magnetic holding should be evaluated under actual operating conditions.

Signage, Displays and Removable Panels

Countersunk pot magnets can provide a practical method for incorporating removable magnetic attachment into suitable signs, panels and display systems.

Potential applications include:

• Removable signs
• Display panels
• Access panels
• Equipment covers
• Retail fixtures
• Exhibition components
• Furniture panels
• Cabinet components

Where magnetic release could allow a panel or component to fall, appropriate secondary mechanical retention should be incorporated.

Magnetic Performance

Actual magnetic holding performance depends on factors including:

• Neodymium grade
• Magnetic circuit
• Target steel composition
• Target steel thickness
• Available contact area
• Surface flatness
• Air gaps
• Paint and coatings
• Rust and contamination
• Load direction
• Mechanical leverage
• Surface friction
• 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 its 60mm diameter.

Pull Force vs Safe Working Load

Magnetic pull force should not be confused with safe working load.

Pull-force measurements are typically influenced by test conditions such as:

• Target steel thickness
• Steel composition
• Surface flatness
• Contact area
• Air gap
• Pull direction

Real-world installations may produce substantially lower holding performance than ideal test conditions.

Even where a pull-force figure is available, it should not automatically be treated as a safe working load or lifting capacity.

Direct Pull vs Shear Force

Magnetic holding varies significantly according to load direction.

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 a vertical steel surface can therefore be considerably lower than an ideal direct-pull result.

Leverage, vibration, shock and dynamic movement can further reduce practical holding performance.

Air Gaps and Surface Contact

Pot magnets generally perform best when the primary working face has broad, close contact with suitable ferromagnetic steel.

Magnetic attraction can be reduced by:

• Paint
• Powder coating
• Protective films
• Adhesive layers
• Dirt
• Rust
• Uneven surfaces
• Surface curvature
• Other non-magnetic layers

For improved magnetic performance, minimise unnecessary air gaps wherever practical.

Compatible Target Materials

This neodymium 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.

Neodymium Pot Magnet vs Standard Disc Magnet

A standard neodymium disc magnet and a neodymium pot magnet use the same general category of rare earth magnetic material but have different constructions.

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

This design is particularly useful where the magnet needs to be:

• Mechanically secured
• Integrated into equipment
• Incorporated into fixtures or jigs
• Used primarily for attraction from one working face

The countersunk hole also provides a practical mechanical mounting method not inherently available in a standard solid neodymium disc magnet.

Permanent Magnetic Operation

This neodymium countersunk 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 Neodymium Pot Magnets

A neodymium pot magnet of this size should be handled carefully.

Neodymium magnets can attract nearby steel objects and other magnets suddenly, creating significant pinch and collision hazards.

When handling:

• Keep fingers clear of contact points
• Approach steel surfaces slowly and under control
• Keep other magnets and loose steel objects away
• Do not allow magnets to snap together
• Avoid dropping or striking the magnet
• Do not drill, cut or machine the magnetic material
• Do not force-fit the assembly
• Do not overtighten the countersunk fastener

Neodymium magnetic material is hard and brittle. Uncontrolled impact can cause cracking, chipping or fragmentation.

Safety Information

Keep this magnet securely away from babies and children.

Maintain an appropriate distance from:

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

Strong magnets can cause pinch injuries when fingers or skin become trapped between the magnet and a steel surface or another magnet.

Where unexpected magnetic release could result in injury, falling equipment or property damage, incorporate appropriate secondary mechanical retention.
