Neodymium Magnetic Fixing Plate – D60mm | M12 Thread

The Neodymium Magnetic Fixing Plate – D60mm | M12 Thread is a powerful rare earth magnetic mounting solution featuring a 60mm diameter magnetic base and M12 threaded connection. Designed for removable and repositionable attachment to compatible ferromagnetic steel surfaces, this magnetic fixing plate provides a practical alternative to permanent mounting methods such as drilling, welding or adhesive fixing.

Incorporating high-performance Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) rare earth magnetic material, the 60mm magnetic fixing plate can be integrated with compatible M12 threaded components such as brackets, fixtures, handles and custom equipment. The threaded connection provides a convenient mechanical interface while the magnetic base allows the complete assembly to be positioned and repositioned on suitable steel.

This 60mm M12 magnetic mounting plate is suitable for industrial equipment, manufacturing, machinery, signage, displays, temporary fixtures, maintenance systems and OEM applications where a removable magnetic attachment point is required.

60mm Diameter Magnetic Base

The fixing plate features a 60mm diameter magnetic base, providing a broad working surface for attachment to compatible ferromagnetic steel.

Potential mounting surfaces include:

• Mild steel plate
• Steel machinery
• Equipment frames
• Ferromagnetic structural components
• Steel cabinets
• Steel panels
• Workshop equipment

For strongest practical attraction, the magnetic working face should make broad, flat contact with clean and sufficiently thick steel.

The 60mm diameter describes the size of the magnetic base and should not be interpreted as a pull-force or load-capacity rating.

M12 Threaded Connection

The M12 threaded connection allows the magnetic fixing plate to be integrated with compatible threaded components.

Depending on the application, these may include:

• Brackets
• Fixtures
• Handles
• Mounting hardware
• Equipment components
• Custom fabricated parts
• OEM assemblies

Always verify the thread compatibility and available thread engagement before installing another component.

The specific thread depth and thread configuration beyond the supplied M12 specification have not been provided and should not be assumed.

Removable Magnetic Mounting Without Drilling or Welding

A key advantage of a magnetic fixing plate is the ability to create a secure, removable mounting point without permanently modifying the supporting steel.

This can reduce or eliminate the need to:

• Drill mounting holes
• Weld brackets to equipment
• Install permanent anchors
• Apply adhesives to the supporting surface

The fixing plate can also be repositioned as installation requirements change, making it useful for temporary fixtures, adjustable equipment and applications requiring frequent reconfiguration.

Neodymium Rare Earth Magnetic Performance

Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) is a high-performance rare earth permanent magnetic material known for producing strong magnetic fields relative to its size.

Its high magnetic performance makes neodymium suitable for compact magnetic mounting systems where effective attraction to compatible steel is required.

Because the magnetic fixing plate uses permanent magnetic material, it requires:

• No electrical supply
• No batteries
• No charging
• No magnetic switching system

The magnetic field remains continuously active.

Magnetic Holding Performance

Actual magnetic holding performance depends on the complete installation rather than the diameter of the magnetic fixing plate alone.

Important factors include:

• Target steel thickness
• Steel composition
• Surface flatness
• Available contact area
• Paint and coatings
• Rust
• Dirt and contamination
• Air gaps
• Load direction
• Vibration
• Dynamic movement
• Leverage from the attached component

No specific pull force has been supplied for this magnetic fixing plate and holding capacity should not be inferred solely from its 60mm diameter or neodymium construction.

Direct Pull vs Shear Force

Magnetic performance varies according to the direction in which a load is applied.

Direct pull occurs when the load attempts to pull the magnetic face perpendicular to the target steel surface.

When the fixing plate is mounted on a vertical surface, the load may instead act in shear, encouraging the magnet to slide across the steel.

Practical holding performance in shear can be significantly lower than ideal direct-pull performance.

Mounting orientation should therefore be considered when determining whether the fixing plate is suitable for an application.

Leverage from M12 Mounted Components

Components connected to the M12 thread can extend away from the magnetic surface and create additional leverage.

Long brackets, handles or fixtures can produce peeling or rotational forces that reduce practical magnetic holding performance.

Consider:

• Length of the attached component
• Weight of the assembly
• Centre of gravity
• Load direction
• Vibration
• Movement
• Shock loading
• Rotational forces

Where accidental movement or detachment could create a hazard, appropriate secondary mechanical retention should be incorporated.

Air Gaps and Surface Conditions

Even a small physical separation between the magnetic face and target steel can reduce magnetic attraction.

Air gaps may be created by:

• Paint
• Powder coating
• Protective films
• Rust
• Dirt
• Surface contamination
• Uneven steel

For strongest practical performance, use the fixing plate against a clean, smooth, flat and sufficiently thick ferromagnetic steel surface.

Compatible Target Materials

This magnetic fixing plate is designed for attachment to ferromagnetic iron and steel.

Suitable targets may include:

• Mild steel
• Iron
• Magnetic steel plates
• Ferromagnetic machinery
• Steel frames
• Compatible structural steel

It will not effectively attach to aluminium, copper, brass, plastic, timber or glass.

Many stainless steel grades may also provide weak or negligible magnetic attraction and should be tested before use.

The M12 interface allows compatible components to be mechanically attached while retaining the flexibility of removable magnetic mounting.

Installation Considerations

Before installation:

1. Confirm the target surface is ferromagnetic.
2. Clean the magnetic face and steel mounting surface.
3. Position the complete magnetic working face flat against the steel.
4. Verify that the intended component is compatible with the M12 thread.
5. Ensure sufficient thread engagement without bottoming out or overtightening.
6. Apply the intended load gradually.
7. Check for sliding, rotation or movement.
8. Consider vibration, leverage and dynamic forces in the final installation.

Avoid uncontrolled impact between the magnet and steel, as powerful neodymium magnets can create pinch hazards and may be damaged by sudden impact.

Please Note

This product is a Neodymium Magnetic Fixing Plate featuring a 60mm diameter magnetic base and M12 threaded connection.

No specific plate height, M12 thread depth, pull force, Gauss rating, neodymium grade, coating, dimensional tolerance or maximum operating temperature has been supplied and these specifications should not be assumed.

Actual magnetic holding performance depends on target steel thickness and composition, surface condition, contact area, coatings, air gaps, mounting orientation, load direction, vibration and leverage from attached components.

The M12 thread should only be used with compatible components, with appropriate thread engagement verified before use.

This magnetic fixing plate should not be treated as certified lifting equipment or used as the sole means of supporting people, safety-critical equipment or hazardous overhead loads. Where accidental detachment could cause injury or damage, suitable secondary retention should be used.

Neodymium magnets can generate powerful attraction and pinch forces. Keep them away from children, pacemakers and other medical implants, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment.
