Rare Earth Neodymium Pot Magnets proving useful as ever

In 2007, AMF Magnetics introduced a complete range of Rare Earth Neodymium pot magnets that have made our strongest magnets even more versatile for our customers.

Pot magnets are regular rare earth magnets that are encased in a steel cup and come with various fixture points that make these magnets perfect for all types of holding applications. For instance, our pot magnets are available with either a countersunk hole, male or female threads or a hook and can hold from around 5kgs right up to an amazing 160kgs. Remarkably, one of the larger pot magnets can hold over 300 times its own weight!

Our customers have been finding new uses for our pot magnets all the time. One customer is currently investigating the use of our pot magnets in a point-of-sale application while another in the construction industry is using them to hold light weight roof panels onto steel battens.

For further information about our full range of Rare Earth Neodymium Pot magnets, please refer to our Product Catalogue section.
