    Multipole Neodymium Disc Magnets

    Grip thin metal surfaces where standard magnets fail to hold. These magnets have multiple small poles that generate a shallow, concentrated magnetic field only near the surface. This makes them less likely to accidentally stick to nearby objects. They're often used to mount sensors on thin-walled enclosures or control panels. With the highest strength-to-size ratio of any magnet, these deliver powerful pull force even in tight spaces. Also known as Polymagnets®.
    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.
