    Our most economical magnets with built-in durability. A protective case shields them from cracks and chips caused by bumps and drops. Ceramic magnets deliver a cost-effective balance of corrosion and temperature resistance. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce holding strength. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Magnetized

    Through

    Thickness

    Our most economical magnets cut costs, not reliability. They stay strong in temperatures up to 400° F and resist some corrosion. They’re also nonconductive to prevent short circuits in DC motors, transformers, and speakers. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
    Magnetized Through Thickness—Magnetized from one flat face to the other, these magnets deliver a concentrated magnetic force. They’re best for direct contact with flat surfaces.

    Ceramic Disc Magnets

    Our most economical magnets cut costs, not reliability. They stay strong in temperatures up to 400° F and resist some corrosion. They’re also nonconductive to prevent short circuits in DC motors, transformers, and speakers. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    These safeguarded, economical magnets grip surfaces without marking them. The rubber-coated case protects metal housings and control panels from scratches and adds friction for a tight grip. It also shields the magnet from the elements as well as cracks and chips caused by drops and bumps. Ceramic magnets deliver a cost-effective balance of corrosion and temperature resistance. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
    Plastic Case—Lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant.
