Neodymium Rectangular Pot Magnet with Countersunk Holes – 80mm x 13.5mm x 5mm

The Neodymium Rectangular Pot Magnet with Countersunk Holes – 80mm x 13.5mm x 5mm is a slim, high-strength rare earth mounting magnet designed for secure mechanical installation in magnetic holding, fixing and closure applications. Measuring 80mm long x 13.5mm wide x 5mm thick, this rectangular magnetic assembly combines powerful neodymium magnetic material with a steel housing and integrated countersunk mounting holes.

The countersunk holes allow the magnetic strip to be securely fastened to a suitable substrate using compatible countersunk screws. Once installed, the magnetic working face can attract suitable ferromagnetic steel surfaces, components or strike plates, making this magnet ideal for cabinets, access panels, displays, fixtures, furniture, machinery and custom equipment.

Its narrow 13.5mm width and low-profile 5mm thickness make this rectangular pot magnet particularly useful where installation space is restricted but a longer magnetic contact area is required.

Countersunk Holes for Secure Mounting

The integrated countersunk holes provide a convenient method for mechanically attaching the 80mm rectangular pot magnet to a compatible surface.

When used with appropriately sized countersunk screws, the screw heads can sit neatly within the recessed holes, helping maintain the magnet's low-profile installation.

Mechanical fastening can provide a practical alternative to adhesives where a secure installation is required or where environmental conditions make adhesive bonding unsuitable.

Care should be taken during installation to use correctly sized fasteners and avoid overtightening.

Why Choose a Rectangular Neodymium Pot Magnet?

Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) is one of the strongest commercially available permanent magnetic materials and provides excellent magnetic performance relative to its size.

In a pot-style assembly, the neodymium magnet works together with a steel housing that helps direct and concentrate magnetic flux towards the working face.

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

The 80mm elongated rectangular profile also distributes magnetic attraction across a narrow area, making it useful for applications where a conventional round pot magnet may not fit.

Magnetic Closures and Holding Applications

The 80mm 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 compatible ferromagnetic steel surface or strike plate, it can be used as a magnetic catch for cabinets, doors, panels and enclosures.

The slim 5mm thickness allows the magnet to be incorporated into installations where available depth is limited, while its 80mm length provides an extended magnetic contact area.

Multiple rectangular pot magnets can also be incorporated into larger fixtures or equipment where additional magnetic holding points are required.

Industrial and Commercial Applications

The combination of neodymium magnetic strength, an elongated rectangular shape and countersunk mounting holes makes this magnet useful for manufacturers, engineers, fabricators, shopfitters, furniture makers and DIY users.

Potential uses include magnetic holding systems for:

• Machinery covers
• Removable access panels
• Cabinet doors
• Inspection panels
• Retail displays
• Signage
• Fixtures
• Furniture
• Equipment enclosures

The mechanically mounted design allows the magnet to become an integrated part of the finished assembly.

Getting the Best Magnetic Performance

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

Magnetic holding strength can be reduced by:

• Paint and protective coatings
• Air gaps
• Thin steel
• Dirt or rust
• Curved or uneven surfaces
• Limited contact area
• Sideways or shear loading
• Peeling forces

Where a pull-force rating is specified separately, it generally represents controlled direct-pull testing under ideal conditions. Practical holding capacity may be significantly lower depending on the installation.

Please Note

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

When installing the magnet, use appropriately sized countersunk fasteners and do not overtighten the screws. Neodymium magnetic material is hard but brittle and can crack or fracture if subjected to excessive mechanical pressure.

Always ensure the magnet, mounting screws, substrate and mating steel surface 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.
