Magswitch MagMount switchable top-mount magnet, 150
Available
The Magswitch MagMount is a switchable magnet with threaded holes on top, so you can mount tools, measuring gear, fixtures and security devices on steel. The magnetic field turns completely on and off mechanically and needs no electrical power. The magnet stays clean, and it holds flat and round steel. Use it in a fixed position or on items being moved.
It comes in five models: MagMount 150, 235, 300, 400 and 600. The model number is a name, not an exact pull rating. Maximum breakaway is the force needed to pull the magnet off clean, flat, thick steel. It is not a safe working load. To choose, start with the weight of what you are mounting and the thickness of the steel. Thin steel holds less than the figure shown. The 150 and 235 suit light fixtures, the 300 and 400 are the middle sizes, and the 600 is the strongest.
