What applications are suitable for rectangular mounting magnets?
- Industrial Fixtures: Holding tools, workpieces, or machinery components in place.
- Automotive: Mounting accessories or temporary signage on vehicles.
- Office and Workshop Organization: Holding documents, keys, or tools against metal surfaces.
- Retail Displays: Securely displaying signage, lights, or merchandise on metal shelving or fixtures.
How do you choose the right rectangular mounting magnet?
Consider the following factors:
- Weight of the Object: Ensure the magnet's pull force is adequate for the weight and size of the item to be held.
- Environment: For outdoor or harsh environments, select magnets with corrosion-resistant coatings.
- Surface Compatibility: The metal surface should be clean and flat for optimal attachment. Rough or uneven surfaces may reduce the magnet's effectiveness.
- Installation Requirements: Choose a magnet with the appropriate mounting feature (e.g., holes for screwing, adhesive backing) for your application.
How do you install rectangular mounting magnets?
Installation methods vary based on the magnet's design:
- Screw Mounting: Some magnets come with pre-drilled holes for direct screwing into the object or surface.
- Adhesive Backing: Others have a peel-and-stick adhesive for easy application on non-metal surfaces.
- Direct Placement: Magnets without any additional mounting features can be directly placed on metal surfaces where they will hold firmly by magnetic force.
