Specialty Magnets Characteristics Countersunk
Specialty Magnets/Characteristics Countersunk Magnets A countersunk magnet is a type of rare earth magnet with an inset hole on its working surface designed so that when screwed in, its screw head sits flush with it - creating an aesthetic look while concentrating magnetic force directly beneath its working surface rather than above. This feature makes these magnets suitable for applications where its presence needs to remain concealed - for example magnetic closures for cabinets or gates/door latches where magnetic force needs to remain unseen; such as magnetic closures/latches for cabinets/gates/door latches etc.
These powerful magnets are made by placing neodymium magnets inside a steel cup that is then coated in nickel-copper-nickel (Ni+Cu+Ni). Their power to volume ratio makes them the ideal solution for those seeking maximum strength with minimal space usage. Neodymium pot magnets are widely used across the world in applications like magnetic closures, gate latches, cabinet doors and office furniture among many others.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest commercially available permanent magnet material, producing much stronger magnetic fields than their ferrite or alnico counterparts. Produced in different grades to offer various magnetic properties and created using sintering processes - producing smaller and more precise magnets than using casting techniques - they have many uses across industries.
Neodymium magnet casings can be coated in various ways to increase their durability and aesthetic value, such as with nickel. Nickel provides both corrosion resistance and a striking color when exposed to light, making the magnet visually more appealing when displayed against its surroundings. Other coating processes may include zinc plating, epoxy spraying and spray painting processes.
Tradespeople and fabricators tend to favor these magnets due to their easy installation process and neater appearance compared to other forms. Common applications for these magnetics include using them as drawer closures, cupboard holders or gate latches/door holders.
Disc magnets are the thin, round and compact type of magnet most people are familiar with. Used extensively worldwide in both consumer and business applications due to their small size, strength, economic cost and ease of replacement when information or designs change, they're widely employed around the world as they're great magnets to have in hands-on science experiments and for display purposes - especially among kids! Also seen frequently used for retail P.O.P displays and signage because they can quickly be updated when information or designs change quickly.
Magnets can be an extremely versatile tool, yet understanding their characteristics is vital in selecting the optimal magnet type for any given application. Therefore, we always recommend performing a sample test to make sure it will meet specific requirements while also helping prevent damage caused by improper usage or handling.
