Either pot magnet or cup magnets it is named after its shape and they both refer to the same group of magnetic products. By gluing a round shape magnet into a steel pot/cup you get a prototype pot magnet and based on that prototype there are so many extensions being made by adding different accessories, using different shape components. Some of them could look so different from the prototype pot magnet but as far as their core working principle does not change, we still call them "pot magnet". With the emerge of extension products other names are also used such as round base magnet, hook magnet, NdFeB pot magnet, flat pot magnet, ferrite pot magnet, pot magnetic assembly from China, etc.

Application of Pot Magnet

When you want to, for example, hold something, fix something, either permanently or temporarily and it could be a label, a poster, a piece of tool, a Christmas wreath, a note, etc.

More importantly, if you want to do it with ease, then you might want to choose from our wide selection of pot magnets. Pot magnets from Weizhong Magnetics Co., Ltd, the pot magnets suppliers and neodymium pot magnet factory, come in different sizes, forces, and are mounted with different accessories to meet the application request as much as possible.

How to Choose the Most Suitable Pot Magnet for Your Application

Basically, the first priority for consideration goes to holding force – the one matches the weight of the object you are about to hold. More importantly, out of safety concern, if you are about to hold a heavy object, you should choose the pot magnet like the ferrite pot magnet that offers a higher force than the weight of the object. An extra 10% higher, at least, in force of pot magnet is advised and, of course, the higher the safer as long as it is within the budget.

Technical Advantages of Pot Magnet

These simple-looking pot magnets are carefully designed following the physical practice of utilizing magnetic field strength, where, by conducting the magnetic field strength via the steel pot, an alternating-pole-pattern of; "S-N-S" or "N-S-N" is made on the holding surface of the pot magnet, and, as a result, it generates even higher holding force than using just magnet without steel pot.

What is pot magnet?

Pot magnet refers to a group of magnetic assemblies that uses a metal pot to realize magnetic circuit design so that magnetic energy is mostly concentrated on the edge of the metal pot to create strong holding force on this side.

With this principal design, pot magnets come in various sizes and basically bigger size means higher holding force.

Screw holes, countersunk holes, through holes, etc are made on pot magnets to make it easier for mounting jobs. Accessories such as thread bush and clips are added so that pot magnets can be used in even more working situations.

How is pot magnet made?

In our case, we do not produce raw magnets, instead, we purchase them from our supplier. In our workshop, we produce metal pots with holes, thread bushes, clips, etc., and then glue the magnet and metal pot together to get the pot magnet.

It is not that any random combination of a magnet and a metal pot makes a good performance pot magnet. These pot magnets are out of magnetic circuit design and countless experiments to get their final specifications.

We must guarantee that either the magnet or the metal pot meets all the specifications, with which our ISO9001 certified manufacturing system and quality system play a major role.

The adhesive we are using was chosen after many tests and comparisons and proved to be most effective in gluing magnets with metal.
