About Magnets

Stepped Magnets
Press these magnets into place, or use them like a tongue and groove to align components. The stepped profile allows you to install them without adhesives or screws. Made of neodymium, these rare earth magnets are the strongest for their size.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

Encased Samarium-Cobalt Magnets
Strong and compact, these rare earth magnets resist corrosion and can handle higher temperatures than other rare earth magnets. A metal case protects the magnetic material.
Magnets with iron and brass cases concentrate and focus the magnetic field.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

Press-Fit Encased Magnets
Press these magnets into a drilled hole so they are flush against the surface. A case protects the magnetic material. Made of neodymium, these rare earth magnets are the strongest for their size.
Styles 1 and 3 have a steel case that concentrates and focuses the magnetic field.
Style 2 includes one magnet with North pole exposed and one with South pole exposed.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
