Round Base Features
Adams round base magnet assemblies are made with either ceramic or neodymium magnets combined with steel cups. The magnets are magnetized together with the casings to create a holding force that is significantly stronger than an individual magnet. We can easily attach hooks, knobs, PEMs or other fasteners to accommodate your specific holding requirements. We coat all our round base magnets with nickel or chrome unless otherwise specified, and can also provide custom coatings to meet your environmental requirements.
Common applications
Antenna mounts
Tow light kits
Work lamp bases
Emergency light holders
Vehicles flag holders
Sign and banner holders
Holding and pull strength
Round base assemblies are up to 32 times stronger than ceramic magnets by themselves. Pull strength is tested on a flat steel plate 1/2 inch thick. The pull may vary depending on the surface it is attracted to, for example if the steel is less than 1/2 inch thick, coated, rough or rusty. We recommend that you obtain a sample to test and confirm the actual pull / holding capability when used in your application.
Colors, packaging
Adams can produce round magnet assemblies in just about any color. We can package them in individual bags or other the packaging types you specify.
Design and handling considerations
Most of our round magnetic assemblies are made with ceramic or neodymium magnets, which are brittle and may break if dropped or if riveting is used in their application. Please use caution when handling channel magnets assemblies, their exceptional magnetic force may cause them to attract to metal (or to each other) so strongly that putting fingers in their path could prove painful.
