Rectangular Mounting Magnets Description
Rectangular Mounting Magnets—also known as cup magnets, pot magnets, or mounting magnets—are compact magnetic assemblies enclosed in a steel casing to amplify magnetic strength and durability. Their flat design allows for easy integration into mounting applications.
Rectangular Mounting Magnets Applications
Used in tool holders, signage, door latches, machinery fixtures, and lighting mounts, these magnets provide reliable holding where a slim, strong magnet is required.

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.
