MSA Magnetics rare earth pot magnet, 10mm diameter

The MSA D Series is a range of rare earth pot magnets with a female threaded boss. There are 10 sizes, from 10mm to 75mm in diameter, with attraction from 2.2kg to 164kg.

A pot magnet is a magnet set in a steel shell, so that it holds on its open flat face. The range is neodymium magnets. The D Series has a female threaded boss, so a stud or bolt screws into the magnet to carry a fixture or bracket. It has the thread size (M3 to M10), the overall height (D2) and the shell height (H) for each size. The letters are used in the table: D is the magnet diameter and H the shell height.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the size on the attraction figure and the space you have: attraction rises with diameter, from 2.2kg at 10mm to 164kg at 75mm. Match the thread size (M) to your stud or bolt, and check the overall height (D2) against the space you have. Holding force falls on thin, rough, painted or curved steel and the figure makes no allowance for that, so keep a margin and test on your own steel. It has attraction, not a safe working load: do not use a pot magnet to lift or suspend a load where a fall could cause injury. Rare earth magnets are strong and brittle: handle them with care, keep them clear of pacemakers and electronic media, and do not let two magnets snap together.
