FAQs

What surfaces can this magnet attach to?

This magnet will attach to any clean, flat ferrous metal surface, such as steel or iron. It will not work on non-magnetic materials like aluminum, plastic, or wood.

How does the rubber coating protect surfaces?

The soft rubber coating acts as a buffer between the magnet and the surface, preventing scratches, scuffs, and other forms of damage that can occur with direct contact with a bare magnet.

Can I use this magnet outdoors?

Yes, the rubber coating provides a good level of corrosion protection, making it suitable for outdoor use. Ensure the surface it attaches to is also weather-resistant.

What does 'M8 external thread' mean?

It means the magnet has a screw-like protrusion with a standard M8 thread size. This allows you to easily screw it into compatible fixtures or attach things like hooks, bolts, or custom brackets to it.

How much weight can this magnet hold?

The product description indicates 'reliable magnetic strength' and 'securely holds heavy items'. However, due to rubber tolerances, there may be variations on pull strength. For critical applications, testing the specific hold strength on your intended surface is recommended.

What are the exact dimensions of the magnet?

The magnet measures 88mm in diameter and is only 8mm high.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding firmly.

Ensure the metal surface is clean, flat, and free of paint or debris. Verify that the surface is made of a ferrous material. Check for any obstructions on the rubber coating. Note that pull strength can vary due to rubber tolerances.

Rubber coating appears damaged.

Inspect the rubber coating for tears or significant wear. If damage is minor, it may still function, but performance could be slightly reduced. For significant damage, consider replacement to ensure surface protection.

M8 thread is difficult to attach hardware to.

Ensure you are using M8 threaded hardware. Clean any debris from the thread. If the thread is cross-threaded or damaged, the magnet may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents scratches and surface damage with its rubber coating.
  • Provides strong and reliable magnetic hold for various applications.
  • Easy to mount and attach using the M8 external thread.
  • Compact size offers powerful performance without bulk.
  • Ideal for sensitive surfaces and retail display needs.

Cons

  • Pull strength may vary due to rubber tolerances.
  • Primarily designed for static displays, not for high-vibration or moving applications.
  • White color may show dirt more readily in some environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the magnet, simply identify a suitable ferrous metal surface. Clean both the surface and the magnet's rubber coating to ensure optimal contact. Attach any desired fixtures or displays to the M8 external thread. For optimal performance, ensure the surface is clean and flat where the magnet will be applied.

Compatibility: This magnet is designed to adhere to ferrous metal surfaces (iron, nickel, cobalt). It is compatible with M8 threaded screws, bolts, hooks, and other mounting hardware. The rubber coating is suitable for use in most indoor and outdoor environments, offering good corrosion protection.

Care: Clean the rubber coating periodically with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the rubber. Ensure the magnet is dry after cleaning. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
