Rubber Coated Magnet

Rubber coated magnets combine magnetic strength with a protective rubber layer, preventing damage to surfaces. They are widely used in automotive, marine, and industrial applications for secure and safe magnetic holding, with options for different rubber thicknesses and coatings.

• Description of Rubber Coated Magnet:

   

  Rubber coated magnet, also known as rubberized magnets, can be regarded as a pot magnet covered by isoprene rubber as a coating for Neodymium magnets to broaden the application scope of Neodymium pot magnets to meet special requirement. As a leading rubber coated magnet supplier in China, Horizon Magnetics mainly manufacture rubber coated pot magnets in several types as: rubber coated magnet with male thread, rubber coated magnet with female thread, rubber coated magnet with screwed bush, rubber coated magnet with handle, rubber coated magnet for cable mounting, etc.

• How to Produce Rubber Coated Magnet:

   

  It is composed of Santoprene rubber outside, inside Neodymium disc magnets and low carbon steel plate. Unlike the general pot magnet with only one big powerful magnet encased inside the pot shell, generally the rubber coated pot magnet is produced with several smaller separate Neodymium disc magnets fixed by glue onto one steel plate. The Neodymium disc magnets are not placed randomly, but positioned in an alternating pole arrangement according to carefully designed circuit so as to make the whole rubber coated magnet with a stronger holding force. The protective rubber coating covers all the surface of the Neodymium magnets and steel plate, except the thread hole or threaded stud.

• Why to Choose Rubber Coated Magnet:

   

  Rubber coated magnets are commonly used for magnetic fixation indoors and outdoors due to their advantages of strong magnetic forces and protective features provided by the rubber coating such as:

  1. Powerful: The several strong disc Neodymium magnets with the designed circuit supply larger and stronger magnetic field with compact size of the whole magnetic system.

  2. Anti-slip: The soft rubber of the rubber coated rare earth magnets can generate higher surface friction over individual Neodymium magnets or common Neodymium pot magnets.

  3. Anti-scratching: In spite of strong holding, the soft rubber cover from the rubber covered magnet may effectively avoid a sharp or scratch damage to the contact surface.

  4. Corrosion resistant: The outside rubber protects the rare earth Neodymium magnets and steel from chemical humidity or water, which may oxidize the magnets and steel and then shorten the working lifetime.

  5. Noise reduction: The rubber layer can reduce the noise produced when pot magnets come into contact with hard metal surfaces.

  6. Versatile: Rubber coated magnets exist in a variety of colors, sizes and structures, and threaded hole or stud can work with numerous hook, eye-bolt, and bracket attachment options to meet a wide variety of applications.

• Where Rubber Coated Magnets Used:

   

  Rubber coated Neodymium magnets are versatile, durable, and designed various applications where a strong magnetic hold is required without damaging the contact surface or resisting corrosion.

  1. Automotive industry: The rubber coating enables the rubber coated pot magnets to attach LED lights, solar panels, sirens and GPS units to cars, off road trucks, caravans or recreation vehicles firmly without damaging the paint.

  2. Marine engineering: For the beacons, ships, oil and gas platforms, or wind farms in the marine and offshore locations, Neodymium rubber coated magnets are required to mount equipments like cameras, sensors, or other surveillance devices conveniently without worrying about mounting magnets oxidization to lose magnetic force in the salt and humidity environments.

  3. Home and office: For the neat home and offices, rubber coated mounting magnets are ideal for holding notes, keys or small items, organizing tools in the garage, securing items on whiteboards, or holding decorative elements in place without damaging sensitive surfaces.
