Box with magnetic closure

Today we present you a "mysterious" magnet application; Box with magnetic closure

Box with magnetic closure

Magnets used:

• Rod magnet Ø 3.0 x 6.0 mm N48 nickel - holds 400 g
• Rod magnet Ø 3.0 x 10.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 500 g

It's important that the magnets in the front wall of the box are not centered, but offset approximately 1 mm to the rear.
This ensures that the lid is closed all the way when the magnets pull it shut.
This means that the magnets at the bottom of the box are not exactly above the magnets in the lid, but offset approximately 1 mm from the rear wall of the box.

The magnets close the lid automatically, as if by magic, for the last 10 mm.
