    About Magnets
    industrial info icon

    Choose a magnet with the right strength, material, and temperature resistance for your application.

    Alnico Disc Magnets

    Our most heat-resistant magnets won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 1020° F. Use them in everything from magnetos and flow meters to fixturing tools. However, their magnetic hold isn't as strong as neodymium 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.

    Threaded

    Mount or reposition male-threaded parts instantly—these magnetic-backed standoffs snap onto metal surfaces. Install on displays, test rigs, and tight spaces where permanent mounting isn't practical.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Alnico Magnet—Retain their magnetic strength, even when exposed to high temperatures.
