Rod-shaped retaining magnets are characterised by their slim design. They efficiently and reliably assist with attachment when subsequent, temporary or portable attachment is needed.
A pot magnet consists of a shell containing a powerful magnet. This pot directs the magnetic field lines downward to the contact surface. This causes the magnetic force to be concentrated at the contact surface and therefore increases the strength of the magnet. This strong adhesive force occurs only on direct contact with the counterpart. A pot magnet is not suitable for attraction over distance. For the best adhesive force the contact surface should ideally be a thick, smooth and unpainted surface.
