A pot magnet is a magnet assembly with a powerful sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet embedded in a durable steel housing or slot, also known as a cup magnet, which is used in a wide variety of applications due to its strong adsorption and compact design, here are some common uses.
The picture below shows a common type of pot magnet-round non-porous pot magnet, others are available with countersunk holes, threaded holes, eyelets, hooks, internal threads, threaded studs/rods or sockets for easy installation.
Fixing and mounting: Pot magnets are commonly used to fix or mount objects to metal surfaces. This includes securing tools, fixtures, signs or other items to metal surfaces in a shop, warehouse or retail environment.
Moving metal objects: In industrial environments, can magnets can be used to move metal objects.
Magnetic bases: They are commonly used as magnetic bases for measuring instruments, lamps and cameras, which can be easily fixed to metal surfaces and adjusted as required.
Door and Cabinet Closers: Potted magnets are also commonly used in door and cabinet closures, providing a strong and reliable method of keeping doors closed without the use of latches or locks.
Hanging items: Pot magnets can be used to hang tools, artwork or other items on metal surfaces, providing a neat and organized storage solution.
Magnetic hooks: some pot magnets are designed with hooks for hanging items such as keys, clothing or kitchen utensils.
Crafts and DIY Projects: Hobbyists and crafters use pot magnets to make functional items such as magnetic knife holders, spice racks or magnetic closures for boxes and frames.
Educational Uses: In an educational setting, they can be used to demonstrate the principles of pot magnet magnetism and magnetic force.
Water Salvage: Pot magnets are also very effective in salvage applications, primarily utilizing their powerful magnetic force to salvage metal objects from water or other hard-to-reach places.
Applications in the automotive industry: Pot magnets can be used to hold in-car devices such as navigation devices, car recorders, cell phone holders, etc., so that these devices can be securely attached to metal surfaces and easily removed. Some roof racks or carriers use pot magnets to hold them in place, especially if drilling holes or damaging the roof surface is not desired. It can also be used for the fixing of temporary signs (such as warning signs) or lamps, and can be quickly removed when not required.
This is an introduction to the uses of pot magnets, and it is important to know that the magnetism can only be used on one side because it is protected by a steel shell on the outside.
