How Magnets Hold
All magnets have the strongest attraction to other magnets and metals with high iron content. The thickness of the metal also contributes to the attraction. If the ferrous metal is too thin, it cannot hold all the magnetic flux coming from the magnet. All magnets reach out with magnetic power and hold onto other magnets and the iron in ferrous metals. If there is more of that material for the magnetic field to grab, it will hold better.
The Best Hold
For the best hold, ensure the North (N) side of the magnet faces the surface of the ferrous metal to maximize the magnetic field’s contact. Avoid gaps between the magnet and the surface as they reduce the hold. Pull tests are recommended to determine the actual strength of the magnet.
Using Your Handle Magnet
Keep these principles in mind for optimal performance with your handle magnet:
- Avoid excessive gaps between the magnet and the surface to maintain a stronghold.
- Ensure the material being lifted is thick and has a high iron content for better magnetic attraction.
- Position the magnet with the North (N) side facing the surface for maximum effectiveness.
- Regularly check and clean the magnet to prevent dirt or debris from affecting its performance.
FAQ
- How Is Magnetic Pull Strength Determined?
- Magnetic pull strength is determined based on the material and thickness of the ferrous metal. The maximum force is usually specified for a standard thickness of steel (e.g., 1/2 inch). Check the manufacturer’s website or product details for specific pull strength information.
- Why Is Proper Alignment Important for Magnet Use?
- Proper alignment ensures that the magnetic field generated by the magnet interacts effectively with the ferrous material, maximizing attraction and holding strength. Incorrect alignment may result in reduced performance or instability during use.
How Do Magnets Hold?
All magnets have the strongest attraction to other magnets and metals with high iron content. The thickness of the metal also contributes to the attraction. If the ferrous metal is too thin, it cannot hold all the magnetic flux coming from the magnet. All magnets reach out with magnetic power and hold onto other magnets and the iron in ferrous metals. If there is more of that material for the magnetic field to grab, it will hold better.
The Best Hold
- Magnets exhibit the strongest hold in a direct pull against the load.
- Magnets are much weaker when the load is sliding across the magnetic field.
- To achieve the best hold, the magnet’s surface needs to make full contact with the surface of the ferrous metal.
- If the metal is bumpy or textured, the magnet surface can’t fully connect.
- Similarly, paint, coatings, and other things in between the two surfaces also reduce the hold.
How Is Magnetic Pull Strength Determined?
Magnets and magnetic assemblies are measured by a vertical pull test. Each
magnet’s entire magnetic surface is tested against a half-inch thick, ground
steel plate. Beginning with a clean magnetic surface and a clean steel
surface, the magnetic assembly is attached to the steel plate. A hook with the
measuring device is attached to the magnet and it slowly pulls the magnet
upward until enough force to break the magnet away from the plate is created.
The measuring device records the pounds pull. Repeated measurements establish
an accurate reading and pound pull rating for each magnetic assembly.
Pull tests are widely used across the magnetic industry. Pounds pull ratings
are common for magnetic assemblies, providing users with accurate insights
into each product’s capabilities.
Using Your Handle Magnet
*MAX FORCE =
- Max. strength on 1/2 inch steel.

Keep these principles in mind, and you will get the best performance with your handle magnet
- Pull directly against the load.
- Using the magnet in a shearing motion will decrease the power.
- The magnet will hold less weight if the metal lifted is thin and/or has a low iron content.
