What is a pot magnet?

2023-12-18

As is well known, a pot magnet is a magnetic component that embeds a powerful sintered neodymium iron boron magnet into a durable steel shell or groove. Sometimes also known as a pot, hence it is called a "pot" magnet. It is also known as a cup magnet or mounting magnet, which holds the magnet in place. Permanent magnets are very brittle and easy to break, while their magnetic force is limited. Strong Potsticker can solve these problems. The steel shell provides a safe place for strong circular/rectangular permanent magnets embedded in it, while the shell or pot provides magnetic shielding, concentrating the magnetic force on only one surface and enhancing them. Most pot magnets can be heated up to a temperature of up to 80 ° C without losing magnetization.

What are the advantages of pot magnets?

Compared to a single neodymium iron boron countersunk head magnet, the pot magnet has more advantages:

1. Small size, stronger magnetic force: The steel shell concentrates the magnetic force on one side and greatly increases the retention force.

2. Cost saving: Due to its strong magnetic force, the use of rare earth magnets can be reduced, reducing magnet costs.

3. Durability: Neodymium magnets are very brittle, and steel or rubber covers can protect them.

4. Installation options: Potsticker magnets can be used for many accessories, so they can use different installation options.

What are the applications of pot magnets?

It is a popular magnetic component suitable for household and industrial purposes, and can be used for suspension and wall mounting applications.

Cup shaped magnets are widely used in households or industries, such as being clamped in automation equipment, door closers, tool clips, fixtures, and providing magnetic base installation for lamps, lamps, clocks, machine mirrors, etc.

The popular fishing magnet in recent years is actually a circular sunk hole pot magnet with a lifting ring.

Choose strong magnet or pot magnet?

If you only need one side of the magnet to attract something and the other side to fix it, you can choose a pot magnet because the cost of a single magnet with strong magnetism is high. Without considering external factors, for single strong magnets and pot magnets with the same pulling force, pot magnets are preferred. The biggest reason is that the iron shell inside will concentrate the magnetism on one side, maximizing the pulling force of the entire pot magnet, which is much cheaper than a single strong magnet.
