Pot Magnet
A pot magnet is a magnet that is contained within a casing or housing. It can be a simple cylindrical magnet, or it can have accessories such as hooks or threads for use in other applications.

Pot magnets allow a wide array of means of fixing them onto customer’s components due to variations in the steel cup housing design. Pot magnets can include threaded bars (male threads), tapped threaded holes in the housing material (female threaded hole / boss / screwed bush / internal thread), countersunk holes for screws, counterbore holes for bolts and even blind ended for simply gluing into place – some versions are even precision ground on the outer diameter to allow an interference fit.
Pot magnets also protect the magnets inside them, which really aids in high clamping force pot magnet applications. The steel housings ensures that the pot magnet is much more durable, being protected from impact damage or load bearing damage.
Pot magnets are always rated by a clamping force (which is the maximum possible pull force the pot magnet can achieve). They are designed for clamping so they are rated in kg pull or N pull (1kg pull force is ~9.81N pull force).
