Neodymium Rectangular Pot Magnet with Countersunk Holes – 60mm x 13.5mm x 5mm

The Neodymium Rectangular Pot Magnet with Countersunk Holes – 60mm x 13.5mm x 5mm is a slim, powerful rare earth mounting magnet designed for secure mechanical installation in holding, mounting and closure applications. Measuring 60mm long x 13.5mm wide x 5mm thick, this low-profile magnetic assembly combines strong neodymium magnetic material with a protective steel housing and integrated countersunk mounting holes.

The countersunk holes allow the magnet to be securely fixed using compatible countersunk screws, creating a neat, low-profile installation. Once mounted, the magnetic working face can attract suitable ferromagnetic steel surfaces, components or strike plates, making this rectangular pot magnet ideal for cabinets, access panels, displays, fixtures, furniture and custom equipment.

Unlike an exposed neodymium magnet, the surrounding steel housing helps concentrate the magnetic field towards the working face while providing additional mechanical protection around the magnetic material.

Countersunk Holes for Secure Mechanical Mounting

The integrated countersunk holes provide a convenient way to mechanically fasten the rectangular pot magnet to a compatible substrate.

Using appropriately sized countersunk screws allows the screw heads to sit neatly within the recessed mounting holes, helping maintain the magnet's slim profile.

This makes the magnet particularly useful where adhesive mounting is unsuitable or a more secure mechanical fixing is preferred.

Care should be taken during installation. Select fasteners appropriate for the mounting holes and substrate, and avoid overtightening the screws.

Why Choose a Rectangular Neodymium Pot Magnet?

Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) is one of the strongest commercially available permanent magnetic materials, providing excellent magnetic strength relative to its size.

In a pot-style magnetic assembly, the neodymium magnetic material is combined with a steel housing that helps direct the magnetic field towards the exposed working face.

This construction makes rectangular pot magnets particularly effective for direct-contact holding against suitable ferromagnetic steel.

The 60mm x 13.5mm footprint also distributes magnetic attraction along a narrow rectangular area, making it useful for applications where a conventional round pot magnet may not fit.

Magnetic Closures and Holding Applications

The 60mm x 13.5mm x 5mm rectangular neodymium pot magnet is well suited to applications requiring a discreet magnetic holding or closure system.

When paired with a suitable steel surface or strike plate, it can be used to create a magnetic catch for cabinets, doors and access panels. The slim 5mm profile makes it particularly useful where installation depth is limited.

Multiple magnets can also be incorporated into larger fixtures or assemblies where additional magnetic holding or more evenly distributed attraction is required.

Getting the Best Magnetic Performance

For maximum holding performance, the working face should make direct contact with clean, flat and sufficiently thick ferromagnetic steel.

Magnetic holding force can be reduced by:

• Paint or protective coatings
• Air gaps
• Thin steel
• Dirt, rust or surface contamination
• Curved or uneven surfaces
• Sideways or shear loading
• Peeling forces

Where a pull-force rating is specified separately, it generally represents controlled direct-pull testing under ideal conditions and should not automatically be treated as the safe working load for every installation.

Please Note

Neodymium pot magnets can produce powerful attraction despite their compact dimensions. Handle carefully and keep fingers clear when bringing the magnet close to steel surfaces or other magnets.

Do not overtighten the countersunk fixing screws. Neodymium magnetic material is hard but brittle and may crack or fracture when subjected to excessive mechanical pressure.

Always ensure the magnet, screws and mounting substrate are suitable for the intended application.

This product should not be used as certified lifting equipment, an overhead suspension point or a safety-critical holding device unless the complete installation has been appropriately engineered and tested.

Keep strong neodymium magnets away from children, pacemakers, medical implants, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment.
