Attention cycling fans, this is how you display your miniature bicycle collection: "Tour de France" on the pleated curtain.
"Tour de France" on the pleated curtain
Hello Magnet Shop,
After purchasing 13 mm self-adhesive metal tape and small, strong round magnets, I was able to start my project.
I glued the metal tape to the top of the pleated curtain rail. We superglued the small magnetic discs underneath the tin cyclists.
They are now racing across the rail.
A real eye-catcher.
Other tin figures can also be mounted there.
There are beautiful bunny motifs for Easter or Christmas motifs for the end of the year.
Maybe I'll switch things up sometime. The motifs can be swapped quickly and easily.
The flexible metal tape is also known as iron tape, ferrous tape, or steel tape. With the help of magnets, you can easily attach pictures, postcards, notes, children's drawings, posters, business cards, etc.
The tape is equipped with self-adhesive foam padding on the back. Therefore, no drilling of holes in the walls is necessary for installation!
Application:
Unlike a self-adhesive wall strip, the tape is extremely flexible. It can be easily installed around corners and even adheres to rough walls. First, remove the protective film on the self-adhesive side and apply the tape to the desired surface. You can also cut the tape to a length of your choice. All you need is a pair of standard household scissors.
Adhesive for Magnets:
This high-performance instant adhesive was developed for special applications and is used wherever universal instant adhesives don't achieve optimal results. With this adhesive you can bond not only plastics, rubber, metal and paper, but also porous and absorbent materials such as cork and wood.
Salt and pepper mills
Magnets in the kitchen are no longer uncommon; see their current application: salt and pepper mills.
Salt and pepper mills
Dear Sir or Madam,
Attached are two photos of my magnetic objects, in which you have installed disc magnets (diameter 5.0 x 5.0 mm, N45 Teflon - holds 1.1 kg).
The salt and pepper mills are made of so-called Action Wood (dyed and glued birch veneer). They are turned and have ceramic grinders.
The height is 200 mm. It's bottom diameter is 50 mm.
The lids are each held in place by 5 x 5 mm magnets.
Thanks to the appropriate magnet arrangement, the grain pattern is always harmonious. The mills are very popular.
This small disc magnet with a 5 mm diameter is coated with a Teflon coating. The black coating is particularly abrasion-resistant and provides excellent protection against moisture. This strong neodymium magnet can therefore also be used outdoors.
Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Color: gray/anthracite
Pure Teflon without Ni-Cu-Ni
Extremely resistant to all acids and bases, alcohols, ketones, gasoline, oils, etc.
Not resistant to sodium
Highly abrasion-resistant
Total coating thickness: 12-25 micrometers

What is Teflon?
Teflon refers to the material polytetrafluoroethylene.
Teflon™ is a registered trademark. For many, Teflon™ is a synonym for polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE.
PTFE is the name of the plastic itself and is the abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene.
PTFE (Teflon) is composed of fluorine and carbon and is a non-multipart, straight-structured, partially crystal-forming plastic.
Fluorine and carbon are two chemical elements that together form the material PTFE, or Teflon.
Spice rack with a knife board
Today's application shows an original and space-saving solution in the kitchen: a spice rack with a knife board.
Spice rack with a knife board
For my project, I used approximately 30 (QM-60x15x05-N) 60.0 x 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 nickel blockmagnets.
Using a router, I milled a 15 mm wide groove into the center of the oak board from the back. This leaves only about 2 mm of wood to the front surface.
The block magnets were inserted. The back of the groove was completely closed with a wooden strip.
A square piece of wood serves as a connection to the wall and supports the spice jars.
Due to the strong magnetic force of the blockmagnets, the magnetic flux penetrates the 2 mm of wood.
The knives adhere to the "magnetic wood."
Why do you need neodymium block magnets?
Neodymium block magnets are suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Most of our neodymium block magnets have the north and south poles located on the two large, opposite surfaces.
Like our neodymium discmagnets, these blocks also fall into the category of "super neodymium magnets."
With our large selection, you're sure to find the right magnet for your needs.
The smallest models are no larger than a pencil tip – 3 x 1 x 1 mm – and can hold a weight of 150 g.
For heavy objects, magnetic blocks are available in sizes up to 100 x 100 x 30 mm. These can easily support weights of up to 350 kg.
We also carry block magnets with holes and countersunk holes in our shop.
Patience game

Today we present to you an interesting type of game: a patience game.
The "Impossible" Japanese dovetail joint combined with magnets.
"Mission Impossible" Patience game
This project combines the Japanese puzzle of the "impossible joint" with a hidden magnetic closure.
The task is to separate the two pieces that aren't glued together.
For many people, understanding the logic of the Japanese joint is a major challenge. The solution is to move the pieces diagonally, not at right angles to each other. The dovetail prisms of the two pieces run diagonally – plane-parallel.
This model has been enhanced with a hidden magnetic closure. Two small magnets are inserted into two central longitudinal holes. These repel each other due to their corresponding polarity. They thus rest against one end of the hole, thus achieving the maximum distance from each other.
One magnet thus blocks the gap between the two pieces of the game– they cannot be moved diagonally, either.
Only when you discover that the silver circle in the upper part of the game, is a magnet, that can be removed and used to influence the small magnets inside, do you come a big step closer to the solution.
With the correct polarity and position of the large magnet on the outside of the games gap, you can push the magnetic latch toward the second magnet, thereby removing the locking effect.
Magnetic snails
Special magnets you don't see every day: magnetic snails.
Magnetic snails
I called my project "Magnetic snail."
I create magnets from empty snail shells, birch polypore mushrooms, or even mussel shells.
Various bonding materials such as silicone, construction adhesive, casting resin, and epoxy, were used to attach the magnets, depending on the size of the objects.
The heating snails are well received and can, of course, also be used on all other metal surfaces.
The following disc magnets were used:
Magnets depending on the size and weight of the snails, mussels, and birch polypore mushrooms used.
10x Disc magnets Ø 10.0 x 5.0 mm N40 Nickel – holds 3 kg
5x Disc magnets Ø 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 Nickel – holds 4.8 kg
5x Disc magnets Ø 15.0 x 8.0 mm N45 Copper – holds 7.2 kg
5x Disc magnets Ø 15.0 x 3.0 mm N45 Nickel – holds 2.9 kg
10x Disc magnets Ø 8.0 x 8.0 mm N42 Copper – holds 2.5 kg
10x Disc magnets Ø 8.0 x 5.0 mm N45 Nickel – holds 2.5 kg
Fast-curing 2-component adhesive can be used on numerous materials such as metal, plastic, fiber composite material, ceramic, glass, stone or wood.
It gives a transparent, residual elastic connection.
The practical twin syringe automatically ensures the correct mixing ratio (1:1).
Epoxy superglue - fast, transparent and residual elasticity, ideal for occasional repair and maintenance work in construction and assembly.
The adhesive is viscous and self-leveling, has a very short pot life (3 - 4 minutes), hardens quickly and is almost colorless, crystal clear.
The processing takes place from the practical double syringe.
Delivery does not include a mixing nozzle. Please order separately if required.

A magnetic bag closure so the handbag always stays closed:
Magnetic bag closure
The subsidiary of our startup company Shoedoc (Pursenurse) has integrated a magnetic closure.Magnetic closure used: SM-20x02-N
We used a magnet to close the bag.
A leather patch was cut to size – twice the size of the magnet.
The magnet was glued to the bag. Then the leather patch was placed over it.
The leather patch was carefully sewn along the edges.
The same steps were repeated on the inside of the bag to attach the magnet's counterpart.
Neodymium disc magnets are real powerhouses.

They are used, for example, in the following areas:
Trade fair and shop fitting
As door locks
In the construction of loudspeakers
For closing cell phone cases and bags
Magnetic knife board
Individual and unique; DIY magnetic knife racks.
Magnetic knife rack
Magnets used:
Disc magnets ø 20 mm x 3 mm N45 – 55 pcs.
Disc magnets ø 20 mm x 5 mm N42 – 5 pcs.
Materials used:
Acacia wood board 800 mm x 300 mm x 18 mm from the hardware store
Organic hard oil from a wood specialist
Forstner bit with a diameter of 20 mm
Superglue or all-purpose glue from a hardware store
I've put a lot of effort into making new wooden handles for almost all of my knives and have also bought some very expensive new knives. I wanted to build a nice knife rack to go with it. It's not necessarily cheaper than a store-bought magnetic rack, but it's more unique.
I have 17 knives and needed a long rack.
I got a board of acacia wood from the hardware store. First, I sawed the board in the shape of half a cognac bottle, cut it to the length of the knives, sanded it, and treated it with organic hard oil.
To ensure the knives really stick to the board, I needed magnets. I opted for circular disc magnets. It was easiest for me to drill holes with a drill, which would fit the magnets. For the large, heavy knives, I used the strongest magnets at the top.
Disc Magnets
I used the sawn-off scrap wood for test drilling. For this purpose, I purchased a cheap, low-end Forstner bit (20 mm diameter).
The Forstner bit has a height of 15 mm including the tip. To ensure the magnets fit as deeply as possible into the wood and their attraction to the wood remains effective, I drilled so deep that only 1 mm of wood remained between the Forstner bit's guide tip and the outside of the board. It's definitely worth practicing this beforehand to get the hang of it and avoid drilling through the wood.
Forstner drill
So I drilled two test holes in the leftover wood to see if the magnet would hold a knife. I noticed that there were some tears during drilling. So I stuck with my initial decision of drilling deep holes from the back rather than inserting the magnets from the front. Drilling with a drill press wasn't necessary, as the magnets exert their power even when they're not perfectly straight in the wood.
First, I glued some magnets in place with epoxy resin glue. But that made a mess, and the glue was quickly used up. For the rest of the gluing, I opted for superglue. (Please wear rubber gloves.) This was cleaner, but the glue also used up quickly. I attached the remaining magnets with all-purpose glue. I would do it this way from the beginning.
When gluing the magnets in place, I also encountered a magnet I had prepared that jumped onto another magnet that was already glued in place. I couldn't get it out. So, instead of lining up the magnets next to each other, you should glue them in individually.
Unique piece in the kitchen
As I continued, I realized that it makes sense to use two magnets each for the smaller knives and three or even four for the larger ones. This keeps the knives neatly aligned and prevents them from turning sideways. I chose exactly the right size for the knives' holding power on the board. It's important to remember that there's 1 mm of residual wood to the tip of the drill, but 4 mm of wood to the magnet. So, choosing these strong magnets was the right decision.
I decided not to drive in any additional wooden crosspieces to avoid damaging the fragile magnets. This wasn't necessary anyway. The adhesive holds the magnets firmly in the hole.
I decided not to use eyelets on the board, instead screwing the heavy board directly into the existing dowels of the previous rails.
The knives are suspended downwards so that any moisture can drip down. The bolsters of the knives on the wooden edge also provide additional support.

A very original and unique magnetic chessboard was made by our customer - Noble chess game with magnets
Noble chess game with magnets
Presentation
You may have seen a classy, magnetic chessboard here and there.
However, during extensive research I never came across a chessboard with a magnet under each individual square.
The magnets not only provide an almost magical gaming experience when the figures are automatically drawn to the middle of each square, but also prove to be very useful when you can hang the intermediate score of a game or even a special final position on a wall.
Production
The implementation of the idea brought with it some challenges.
My requirements were to build a chessboard that was nice to look at and that people would enjoy playing on.
The magnetic effect is of no use if the chessboard does not look nice.
It was therefore clear from the start that the chessboard should not be visible as it contains magnets.
I attached the magnets by drilling a hole from the bottom to 2 mm on the surface in order to glue the magnets in.
There was a risk that I would accidentally drill through and thus undo all the previous effort. That is why test drilling and a good height stop were essential.
Inserting the magnets
It is not difficult, but it is very important not to confuse the north-south polarity of the magnets.
The magnets were sufficiently fixed with hot glue after being inserted.
Base plate
For an elegant look, I decided to use a base plate (maple).
The frame that was made is glued to the base plate, which firmly fixes the game board.
The force-fit connection allows the board to be opened without causing any damage for any adjustments.
Figures
The figures that I did not make myself each received a rodmagnet (opposite pole).
Thank you very much for sending me this great magnetic idea:-)
Magnetic holder for bits
Are you tired of the screws constantly falling off your cordless screwdriver because they are not magnetic? We have the solution: Magnetic holder for bits
Magnetic holder for bits
Hello dear Magnet Shop team,
I use the ring magnets with an inner diameter of 6.5 mm as a magnetic holder for my bits.
They fit perfectly on the bits with a longer neck, in my case Wiha.
In addition, the bit then holds better in the cordless screwdriver.
The application is very simple; just put the ring magnets over the bit attachment. Done :-)
With the different neodymium ringmagnets from the magnet-shop.com range, you get powerful permanent magnets that can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Similar to our discmagnets, we offer you a selection of axial neodymium ringmagnets (magnetic poles are on the two opposite circular surfaces) as well as a smaller selection of diametral ringmagnets (magnetization is parallel to the diameter on the left and right).

When a hobby becomes a passion, a unique performance is created with the help of magnets and spinning tops.
Spinning top - Carousel
Dear team from Magnet-Shop and Magnet-Blog,
For several years now, I have been developing and manufacturing – in my retirement and out of passion – all kinds of toy spinning tops.I sometimes use your magnets for this, as they can be used to create a wide variety of – and in my opinion – pretty impressive effects.With spinning tops, they always say “everything spins!”And when your magnets come into play, it spins even a little more.
This is my "spinning carousel". It consists of two individual spinners. Which - first rotated and then connected via a wooden rod - in turn move the carousel. So there are three rotations: two of the two and a third of the carousel. The crucial "secret" lies in the spinning top handles. Your magnets are installed in these:
I used the magnet model "Rodmagnet Ø 2.0 x 4.0 mm N45 Nickel - holds 280 g"
I installed one magnet per spinner. At the top, sunk into the handle, where it is rotated.The magnet is then attracted to one of the metal pins that are inserted into the crossbar at the left and right ends.
You can describe spinning tops, but their effect only becomes apparent when you look at them. That is why I am sending you not only photos of different versions of the spinning top carousel, but also a video. It illustrates how to set the carousel in motion.
Magnets on Ape
Our customer drove his Ape to a motorcycle meeting in Klausen. It had a bee on the hood that stuck to the Ape thanks to the magnets.
Magnets on Ape
I used 4 magnetic systems with a diameter of 43 mm, rubberized with a thread M6 x 15 - holds 10 kg.
Since it was not possible to attach the magnets flush to the roof with threaded holes in the bee, they were glued in with transparent assembly adhesive and left to dry for 2 days on the roof of the Ape (Ape = Italian and means bee)!
After this work, both bees were blessed at a motorcycle meeting in Klausen!
Rubber coated magnet system
Round neodymium magnet system with rubber caoting and threaded pin. The rubber coating made of Santoprene on the adhesive surface increases the sliding force.
Very good for the residue-free attachment of, for example, signs on your car.
The rubber-coated magnet systems are magnetic adhesive systems that can be used primarily on sheet metal with sensitive surfaces (paint, chrome, nickel, etc.).
The rubber-like consistency of Santoprene® protects the sensitive surfaces from scratches (provided the surfaces are clean).
In addition, the high coefficient of friction of Santoprene® against metallic surfaces results in high lateral static friction forces.
Shear force: 3 kg
Car sunroof leaking?
Car sunroof leaking? Seal with magnetic foil!
Heavy rain!? Is it dripping heavily through the sunroof?
The car is either old? You don't have any money at the moment? The workshop doesn't ask for an appointment until two weeks from now?
No problem - a magnetic film can help quickly and cheaply!
Car sunroof leaking? Seal with magnetic foil!
First you should check whether the roof is also "magnetic" - i.e. whether magnets from the refrigerator, for example, stick to it.
Then measure the sunroof and add at least 10 cm all around.
Example: the sliding roof is 80 x 60. You should calculate at least 100 x 80 cm of magnetic foil.
The magnetic foil with a thickness of 0.85 mm is available in black or white. Both can be easily shaped with scissors - even slight curves are no problem:
Magnetic foil coated white, width 1000 x 0.85 mm, running meter and magnetic foil coated black, width 1000 x 0.85 mm, running meter
Whether as a car magnetic sign, for product labeling on shelves, metal cabinets, for photos, displays, teaching, play and learning materials, planning, organization, model making. All that is required as an adhesive surface is a surface containing iron (e.g. sheet steel).
The films can be easily cut to the required length or shape using scissors.
Then place the foil on the edge and roll the rest over the roof - make sure that the foil lies well everywhere.
Oh yes, cleaning the roof a little beforehand / rubbing it dry can't hurt :-)
If you want to enjoy the open air feeling again, you can store the film rolled up in the trunk, wait for the next sudden touch, or rent it out as an advertising sign.
Magnetic signs: your car as advertising space
Here in the test it stopped at approx 120 km/h - but that wasn't due to the foil but rather to the traffic regulations
Magnetic weight for lamp
So that it doesn't keep falling over, a magnetic weight was quickly made for the lamp.
Magnetic weight for lamp
Hello dear employees of the Magnet Shop,
Here is our use for the ringmagnet Ø 140.0 x 60.0 x 20.0 mm Y30 ferrite - holds 19 kg.
There was previously a concrete-like mass under the lamp that simply crumbled out.
Without weight it always tipped over. With the magnet it holds perfectly again.
Would you like to securely attach a metal part without having to use hammers and nails, adhesive strips or anything like that? Our ferrite ringmagnets can be ordered in various sizes and quantities and can be inconspicuously attached to any metallic surface.
Whether for the coin and bottle cap collection, as blackboard magnets in school or as simple refrigerator magnets - the ferrite models offer a solid base that can be accurately adapted to the size of the respective item.
Like all ferrite magnets, our rings are also rust-resistant and can withstand extreme heat and cold if necessary.
So they are also suitable for outdoor use.

Magnetic windscreen cover on the boat
Dear Magnet Shop team,
I sewed the magnets into a steel window cover for a boat. This avoided unnecessary holes in the steel caused by other fastenings.
The customer is very satisfied with the handling.
Procedure
I needed 8 magnets for the cover in the photo. They are disc magnets 30.0 x 5.0mm N50 nickel.
First, the magnets were attached to the outside of the cover to determine the exact position. The locations were marked and the magnets were safely packed away again.
Then I sewed on small pockets from the back that were only open on one side.
I wrapped the magnet in thin cotton wool and put it in my pocket. The cotton wool is used to protect the material if the magnet hits a corner.
I put a thicker cloth under the material in which the magnet is stuck so that the magnet doesn't get caught on the sewing machine and then sewed the open side closed.
Once all the magnets were sewn in, you could roll up the cover.
A simple and unique application.
Thank you for sending us your magnetic idea!

Our customer designed a magnetic poster stripas a Christmas present.
Magnetic poster strip
Hello, my dears,
I've already sat down on my Christmas presents (so that I can enjoy the pre-Christmas period without stress) and have been busy crafting.
This year I decided to make poster strips. Since I always paint my Christmas mail myself, I made hangings in DIN A5 format.
So the Christmas cards are included in the gift :)
Here is a short guide on how I did it:
Poster strips
Material:
Wooden strip 2 times: 116 x 20 x 5 mm
Wood varnish, desired color
Neodymium magnets 4 times: discmagnet Ø 8.0 x 2.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 1 kg
Cord/cord: 17 cm
2-component adhesive
Saw
Paint brush
Drill press
Forstner drill 8 mm
Pencil
Instructions:
Saw the two pieces of wood to the appropriate length from a wooden strip.
Paint it in the desired color and let it dry thoroughly.
Use a pencil to mark the places where you want the magnets.
I left a 5 mm margin on both sides of the wooden strip.
I marked the center of the magnet 11 mm from the edge.
Use the drill press to drill a 2 mm deep hole at the points shown.
Also saw a slot at a distance of 21 mm from the edge into which the cord will later be glued.
Finally, the magnets are glued into both strips using the 2-component adhesive.
The string for hanging is also glued into one strip.
Tada, and the picture hanging is finished. 🥳
Of course you can also make the strips in other formats, here I would recommend an additional 1 to 1.5 cm on the edge.
You don't need a strip at the bottom for postcards, but it certainly makes sense for posters. Then just do the same thing again without the string :)
I made 30 of the picture strips and was busy for about 4 afternoons.
For this I needed 10 m of wooden strip, 120 magnets and a tube of glue. In total I paid around 80 euros.
Kind regards and have fun imitating!
Magnetic levitation
Magnetism in a different way; Magnetic levitation with objects
Magnetic levitation
Hello,
Magnets are used in many applications because of their mutual attraction.
I would like to present a private hobby project that mainly uses mutual repulsion.
Making objects levitate with the help of magnets (Magnetic Levitation)
An object to which magnets are also attached hovers above a platform fitted with magnets.
The magnetic repulsion effect "carries" the weight of the object.
A total of 32 magnets in the platform along with 4 electromagnets for position stabilization hold this
object in the air. Depending on the size and weight, 3 to 12 magnets are to be attached to the floating object.
The hovering height is 25-30mm, the maximum weight is about 600g. (More possible with additional or stronger magnets)
Only disc and block magnets are used, no ring or special shapes are necessary.
The following magnets are in use:
Discmagnet Ø 20.0 x 5.0 mm N42 Nickel - holds 6.1 kg
Blockmagnet 20.0 x 10.0 x 5.0 mm N42 Nickel - holds 3.8 kg
The magnets can usually be attached to suitable places on the object, no carrier plate is required.
A switchable rotating function allows the objects to rotate above the platform.
A prototype of the platform exists and development continues.
The photos show application examples:

An ingenious and practical idea came about with the help of our products; the Tonie - Wheel.
Tonie - Wheel
Dear Sir or Madam,We bought a hamster wheel from a pet store.
We used it to create a Tonie figure (they have a magnet) storage wheel.It was painted by us.
Actually, I had also ordered a discmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 2 kg from you.I wanted to let this into the cork underneath the magnetic tape and glue it there.
These magnets should also hold Tonie figures on the outside of the wheel. I wanted to stick the white self-adhesive metal strip, width 25 mm, primer for magnets over the embedded magnets.
Because of the magnets (all children are very inventive), our son was concerned that she could find them and something could happen.
We have now only glued the metal band inside and the figures are holding up well.
There may be adhesion problems with large, heavy figures. If it gets too narrow inside because of the number of Tonie figures, we could increase the distance to the base plate. Another metal band would be glued on from the outside, on which the Tonie figures would hold.
For the magnets I will build something else and if it's a fishing game.Maybe this is an idea for other hobbyists.
Magnetic foil as advertising medium
Vehicle advertising for a rally vehicle thanks to magnetic foil as an advertising medium.
Magnetic foil as advertising medium
All the many meters of magnetic foil coated black, width 1000 x 0.85 mm, running meters that I bought from you, I used for my rally vehicles.
All advertising media were stuck on magnetic foil. I can attach these to the vehicle at will.
I'm driving a rally on August 27th, Berlin - Portugal. All my advertising stickers on magnetic foil can be easily removed again after the rally.
I've already passed it on to others and have met with great interest.
High-quality magnetic foil for the production of magnetic signs, magnetic car signs, warning and information signs,
Warehouse labels and other magnetic advertising media. Product labeling on shelves, metal cabinets, for photos, displays, teaching, playing and learning materials, planning, organization, model making.
Very good quality and easy to use.
The non-magnetic side is lined with a colored PVC foil. Only a ferrous surface is required as the adhesive surface.
You can cut the foil to the desired dimensions with a cutter knife or scissors.
The following printing processes are possible:
Screen printing
UV
Solvent
Important note: Magnetic foils and magnetic tapes cannot be used as a base for magnets. Our metallic bases or whiteboard boards and foils are suitable for this.

Box with magnetic closure

Today we will introduce you to a "mysterious" magnet application; Box with magnetic closure
Box with magnetic closure
Magnets used:
Rodmagnet Ø 3.0 x 6.0 mm N48 nickel - holds 400 g
Rodmagnet Ø 3.0 x 10.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 500 g
It is important that the magnets in the front wall of the box are not in the middle but are offset approx. 1 mm to the rear.
This ensures that the lid is closed as far as it will go when the magnets pull the lid closed.
This means that the magnets at the bottom of the box are not exactly above the magnets in the lid, but are offset by approx. 1 mm to the rear wall of the box.
The magnets close the lid by themselves, as if by magic, the last 10 mm.
The advantage of our neodymium rodmagnets is their easy handling. Thanks to their elongated shape, they are easy to grip - and can therefore be used on pin boards, for example. By stringing together individual magnets, you can create neodymium rodmagnets of any length - whether you prefer large rodmagnets or small rodmagnets. Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). However, some designs are magnetized diametrically (through the diameter).
Complicated clasps on a chain or bracelet can sometimes drive you insane. You can remedy this with a clasp made of two small neodymium rodmagnets in a precious metal look. You only have to attach the small rods once to both ends of a piece of jewelery and the two permanent magnet ends can be closed again and again thanks to their magnetic interaction. Small magnetic rods with a small diameter are particularly suitable here. A nickel coating also ensures a noble look.
Height-adjustable feet for bar table
After a successful consultation on the use of our magnets, the project came about; Height-adjustable feet for bar table
Height-adjustable feet for bar table
I needed these magnets for my bar table constellation that I wanted to build.
Old oil or grease drums should have adjustable feet.
With the help of a wooden plate and your magnets Ferrite pot magnet Ø 50.0 x 10.0 mm cylindrical bore, 18 kg, I was able to successfully implement my project.
(With 4 magnets, each weighing 18 kg, the plates don't come off quickly either)
There was a dislocation of the feet. Your magnets were mounted from below with a 10 mm screw.
Complete!
In addition, you can also exchange the barrels or store them somewhere else than the wooden panels.
That way they stay pretty longer.
If events are taking place:
Let's get the barrels out
Fasten the wooden plate with magnets
Here we go!
It couldn't be any better or faster.
How the ferrite pot magnets with steel pot work:
A ferrite magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the magnet made of ferrite from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature: The attachment is done here by e.g. a Torx or Allen screw. The screw can be screwed in concise in the central hole and the magnet can be securely screwed to the wall / ceiling. Metallic counterparts then adhere magnetically to this pot magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 200 ° C.
The pot magnets with neodymium are significantly stronger with the same dimensions.
Magnetic attachment of a cable guide
A magnetic attachment of a cable guide is today's topic.
Magnetic attachment of a cable guide
Dear Team,
I was happy to see your "competition" as an insert in my package, in which I can tell about my purpose for a voucher. The following is my purpose:
Attachment of a cable guide with protective tube and pipe clamps to the meter box itself
Material used:
3 x neodymium pot magnets Ø 32.0 x 7.0 mm, internal thread M6, 26 kg
M6 x 16 pan head screws
Pipe clamp OBO Bettermann for 32 mm pipe
Protection tube 32 mm diameter
cable 5 x 16 mm² flex
Goal:
Flexible attachment of a pipe guide to the metal housing of the meter cabinet without drilling dowel holes in a confined space
Simplified insertion of the cable into the grid cable support under the ceiling, which would be difficult to do with this thick cable if the cable was routed on the wall
What to pay attention to:
Actually not much, the M6 screws should of course not be too long in length depends on the cable clamp used
The rest is self-explanatory and easy as pie
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
These magnets have a central hole with a continuous metric thread. Objects with external threads such as screws can be screwed to the holding magnet so quickly. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C

These great magnet applications for storing the Tonie figures make it easier and beautify every child's room - magnetic Tonie shelves
Magnetic Tonie shelves
Required material:
Beech plywood board with 6mm thickness (for up to 3 shelves 1200 x 600 mm)
Bench slat beech raw 20 x 50 x 950 mm
Screws 4.5 x 60 mm or similar and suitable dowels to attach the shelf to the wall
Screws 3.5 x 30 mm for fastening the shelves (2-3 per shelf)
Screws 4.5 x 16 mm for fastening the metal discs (1 per metal disc)
Metal disc Ø 30 mm with hole and countersink nickel
White primer for wood
Color (e.g. acrylic paints)
Paint suitable for toys (e.g. Obi clear lacquer, satin finish
Required tools:
scroll saw
edge router
240 sandpaper and possibly 1500 sanding fleece
possibly jigsaw
two angles or large protractor
Drill driver with 3 and 4 wood drill bits and 30 mm Forstner drill bit
Paint brush
foam paint roller
matching paint tray
for details acrylic pencils
Instructions for the Tonie shelves:
Draw the desired shape of the shelf on the plywood sheet, cut out roughly with the jigsaw and finely with the scroll saw.
Cut shelves for:
1 tone: 60 mm width
2 Tonies: 105mm width
3 Tonies: 150mm width
4 Tonies: 195mm width
5 Tonies: 240mm width
6 Tonies: 285mm width
The distance between the metal discs and the edge is 1.5 cm. Use the Forstner drill to drill the indentations for the discs. Center point in depth at 25mm in the middle and measured in width from the edge at 30mm (1 Tonie), 75mm (2 Tonies), 120mm (3 Tonies), 165mm (4 Tonies), 210mm (5 Tonies), 255mm (6 Tonies).
The shelves can be attached both vertically and overhead. The magnets on the tonie figures are strong enough.
Mill off the edges of the shelves and the shelf and sand with fine (240 grit) sandpaper. sand down surfaces. Possibly rework with 1500 abrasive fleece.
Fasten metal washers to the shelves with the 4.5 x 16 screws.
Observe the distances between the shelves!
Mark the positions for the shelves in parallel (with a protractor or two squares) and pre-drill holes with a size 3 wood drill bit. Center the hole horizontally and vertically move the hole 2 cm inwards from each side. From a width of 19.5 cm, a third screw is placed in the middle with an even number of Tonies. If there is an odd number, add 1 cm next to the middle.
Pre-drill 2 or more holes (depending on size) with the #4 drill bit for wall mounting (not too close to the shelves).
Grind again.
Prime the rear wall 1-2 times.
Design the color as desired (a black border around the side of the Tonie shelf is a good idea, tip: acrylic pen)
Paint twice
After drying, fasten the shelves from behind with the 3.5 x 30 screws.
Use the scroll saw to cut small pieces from the leftover wood to use as spacers between the shelf and the wall and glue them to the back of the shelf with hot glue. Drill a hole in 2 (or more) of the pieces with the 4-mm drill bit and glue them precisely behind the wall mounting holes. Attach to the wall, done.
Bottle Cap Magnet
A great upcycling project from our customer, bottle cap magnet.
Bottle Cap Magnet
Using your ferrite 25 x 5 mm magnets (they fit pretty well) I came up with the following idea:
Beverage bottle caps that my wife and I liked, were carefully removed and collected.
The bottle cap is cleaned and dried. Then the back of the bottle cap and the ferrite magnet receive some metal adhesive - press firmly together and wait a while - done.
The result is individual magnets.
All ferrite magnets on this page are axially magnetized. From a diameter of 8 mm to 100 mm, we have a well-assorted selection of practical, inexpensive and handy ferrite discs in our range.
Magnetic glue for repairs and handicraft fun
Can you actually attach magnets with glue? Of course you can! In handicrafts and many other uses of magnets, they are glued to wood, plastic or other materials. In the meantime, however, magnetic adhesive is also becoming more and more popular in industry. For a convincing result, however, it is always crucial to choose the right magnetic adhesive. In our shop you will find a selection of inexpensive and optimally suited products for many applications.

Poster hanger with magnetic strips
Posters can be hung upright and invisibly by using our magnetic tapes; Poster hanger with magnetic strips.
Poster hanger with magnetic strips
Material:
2 magnetic strips (12.7 x 1.5 mm; type A)
2 magnetic strips (12.7 x 1.5 mm; type B)
2 wooden strips 10 x 20 mm
1 eyebolt
all Purpose Adhesive
scotch tape
Work steps:
Shorten wooden slats and sand if necessary.
Shorten 2 magnetic strips (type A) and stick them to the wooden strips with all-purpose glue (remove the protective film first).
I don't think the adhesive already attached to the magnetic strip is sufficient for permanent bonding to wood. Hence the all-purpose glue.
Shorten 2 magnetic strips (type B) and tape the ends with adhesive tape so that the protective film cannot come loose.
Screw the ring screw into the upper wooden strip.
Align posters on wooden strips and attach with the loose magnetic strips (type B).
The poster was rolled and made of relatively strong paper. This will lift the bottom of the poster off the wall.
Self-adhesive magnetic tape with a width of 12.0 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. You can cut the tape to the desired length with scissors or a cutter knife.
The magnetic tape is used in fastening and locking technology, display and trade fair construction, planning and advertising materials, as well as in every household.
Idea (not implemented yet): Put a small piece of sheet metal (or a thin neodymium magnet) on the wall and a thin neodymium magnet (or sheet metal) on the lower strip. Should work.
A very simple but effective method of hanging a poster protected and almost invisible.
Many thanks to our customers for this great idea :-)

Making individual Greeting cards with the help of magnets? Absolutely no problem thought our customer Sammy from myfavoritedaycrafters and integrated some items into her creative hobby.In the following we would like to show you which products were used to create beautiful unique pieces for friends and family.
Used magnetic products:
magnetic sheet
self-adhesive discmagnets
First, special dies made of metal are used for the beautiful 3D effect. Our customer takes advantage of the ferromagnetic properties of the molds when storing the countless small parts.
Storage for dies - For Greeting cards with the help of magnets
Photo frame with magnetic foil for storing metal dies - A simple and practical idea for hobbyists.
I glued the magnetic foil (magnetic foil coated black, width 1000 x 0.85 mm) to the inside of these picture frames to store my dies. The dies are made of metal and are therefore magnetic. In the picture frames I can keep them clear and practical. I can see at a glance which die I want to use for my next project. They stick super tight to the magnetic sheet. You can get the frames cheaply in decoration shops. I attached the foil with double-sided carpet tape.
Magnetic plates for storing metal dies - A simple and practical idea for hobbyists.
I used the magnetic foil (magnetic foil coated black, width 1000 x 0.85 mm) to cover thicker gray cardboard on both sides to store my cutting dies.I simply stuck the film on with double-sided carpet tape. I keep these records in sleeves and put them in a box. The magnetic sheet can be cut to any size you like. The dies are made of metal and are therefore magnetic. I can store them neatly and practically on the plates. They stick super tight to the magnetic sheet.
Closure for cards with the help of discmagnets
The flat and self-adhesive discmagnets with a diameter of 10.0 mm x 1.0 mm thickness are ideal as magnetic clasps for handmade greeting cards. Thanks to the strong self-adhesive backing, they are super easy to place and fix without the need for additional materials or tools. Since they are very flat, you can also easily stick paper over them so that they are not visible. Nothing is lost from the strong magnetic force.
This is how individual greeting cards with magnets are created.

Puppentheater
Magnets in the puppet show? In the following application, our customer from Selje-Puppenspiele, shows us how to integrate the practical helpers into your stage play.For this purpose, our evergreen cubemagnets 5 x 5 x 5 mm were used, which we offer in various sizes, silver and gold.
I am happy if you like my video and this text and if you want to publish it 😉
With the old art of puppet and figure theater, people like to use modern tricks today. To perfect the magic moments and the illusion of the living doll, magnets are reliable, silent and invisible - simply brilliant! In this example, I glued two 5 x5 mm cube magnets into each doll's hand and only covered them with a layer of paper. Now every prop that is made of metal can be "grabbed" and moved by the character without the player having to help. Depending on how strong the adhesion should be. Not only the strength and size of the magnet has to be selected. A wide variety of materials are also suitable as counterparts to the magnet. Here I used an old saw blade and a threaded nut. Bottle caps, different sized washers and white bleach from the lids of mason jars or cans also work reliably.
It's just fun to figure this out and then see reliable effects hundreds of times on stage. Awesome!

Magnets in aquaristics
Some of our magnets are always used in practice when it comes to setting up aquaristics. The most popular items here include:
Waterproof magnets
Magnetic strips
Magnetic glass cleaner
Magnets to fix the device in the aquarium
Roots and stones
Setting up the aquarium is often only possible to a limited extent due to a lack of brackets. Roots or stones can be adequately secured by gluing, but cannot be changed afterwards. Our waterproof magnets offer the optimal solution to this problem - by attaching magnets or magnetic adhesive grounds to these objects, they can be attached practically anywhere. Due to the high adhesive force and the plastic coating, a secure hold in the desired place is guaranteed and unwanted slipping is prevented.
Plant
Sufficient attachment of the plants is important for their growth, especially after they have been placed in the tank. Plants can be attached using magnets to anchor them securely in the ground or on stones/roots. This prevents possible detachment by currents or animals and the plants can grow as desired.
Filter system
“Suction cups – the hostage of aquaristics” is how our customer described them. Every long-term aquarist has certainly had experience with this method of attachment. At first it was very easy to attach to the glass with little pressure, but the disillusionment comes with increasing service life - the suction cups almost completely lose their suction effect and thus their adhesion to the glass. The result: floating technology in the aquarium and a resulting danger to the residents or defects in the individual devices.
Again, magnets offer a flexible and long-term solution for attachment.
Magnets in aquaristics as tool holders
Tools such as tweezers, trimmers, scissors, landing nets or spatulas are often used for tank care in aquascaping. Since these mostly have metallic components, they can be sorted and stowed away perfectly using a metal strip.
You can see a detailed explanation and implementation in the following video from our customer:

Fotografie, Unterwasserfotografie
Photographing underwater can sometimes be very difficult.
Magnets in underwater photography
Diving in itself is a very demanding hobby due to poor visibility, currents, cold temperatures and many other dangers. However, when photography also comes into play, it becomes a real challenge. Cameras and water are basically not a good idea at first. That is why it is important to take special measures here and often you have to be a little inventive. A customer makes use of the power of our magnets (neodymium: cube 5 x 5 x 5 mm, block 6 x 5 x 1.8 mm).
Due to the low light conditions, the flash function switches on automatically under water. However, the mechanically unfolded flash cannot be switched off again through the housing. As a result, shots with sufficient exposure do not achieve the desired result.
However, this can easily be prevented with a few small block and cube magnets.
Conveniently, these prevent the flash function from being switched on due to their magnetic force on a certain point on the camera body. In this way, optimal exposure is achieved without opening the underwater housing to change settings on the camera.
The use of magnets in underwater photography - A really ingenious use for our little helpers!
Nevertheless, the question arises for us: "How do you come up with something like this?!"
Here you can see a few more impressive results of the underwater pictures taken.

Magnetic Ludo game
Here we would like to show you another interesting project with our magnets: Magnetic Ludo game
Our client built a Ludo game board for his parents as a gift.
The board consists of the following materials:
Epoxy resin
Color pigments to color the resin
Poplar wood
Coaster
Discmagnets
The play figures are created using the 3D printer in four different colors and are glued to a metal discs.
Of course, there is also a container for dice and figures, into which magnets are also glued, so that each part is neatly in its place.
Manufacturing:
When working with epoxy it is important to create a well sealed mold so that the resin cannot spill out.
First place the wood in the mold and then pour the transparent resin over it until it is completely surrounded by it. After pouring the epoxy resin, small air bubbles often form, but these can be easily removed with a lighter. Depending on the type of resin, it takes 24-72 hours to cure.
After the game board is solid, you grind and polish it afterwards. Then the countersinks for the individual fields are milled. You then stick a discmagnet in each hole and fill the individual color fields with the corresponding colored resin. A beer coaster is placed on each of the remaining normal fields.
You then attach the remaining magnets to the storage box, which was also created in the 3D printer, and stick the game figures from the printer onto the metal discs.
And finished is a magnetic Ludo game!

Magnetic securing of LED strips
Today we present you a magnetic securing of LED strips.
Magnetic securing of LED strips
Ladies and Gentlemen
I used the magnets from your company for the following simple but useful application:
For a self-made steel housing I have provided LED strips for lighting.
However, the adhesive backing of the strips only sticks weakly to the matt black paintwork and since they are also attached hanging upside down, detachment was often the case.
In order to be able to make changes in the future and because I was concerned about adhesive drips on the LED top and edges, I wanted to avoid using stronger permanent adhesives such as epoxy.
When I was looking for a suitable alternative, I came across the following type of magnet:
Blockmagnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 1.0 mm N42 nickel
The quantity is calculated according to the mounting distance and the total length of the application.
These magnets are very suitable for securing 10 mm wide LED strips on ferromagnetic bases.
Due to the appropriate dimensions and the shiny nickel plating, I also find the application aesthetically pleasing.
It should be noted, however, that the magnets should not be attached to the open contact points of the LED strips, as this can result in a short circuit, and that the distances between the components on the LED strips must be large enough.
Thank you for this original and unique magnet application.

Our partner Holz-Liebling creates stylish knife blocks - individual pieces made of wood with the help of the magnets in our shop. The work steps explain the processes step by step, so that everyone can make their own unique piece of wood!
Stylish knife blocks - individual pieces made of wood
Wood of your choice, in our example oak, plum and ash were used
10 x magnets per knife block: QM-40x10x05-N
wood glue (D3 white glue)
glue
wood oil
1 x stainless steel plate
3 x screws
Needed tools:
Circular saw
Jointer/planer
Screw clamps
Table router
Sanding machine with different sandpaper
Brush or rag for applying glue and oil
Cordless drill driver
How the Stylish knife blocks are made:
Cutting, dressing and planing wood
Cut the selected wood into strips with the table saw and then create a straight surface with the planing machine. Bring the wooden strips to an even thickness with the planer and add about 1mm more material to the desired thickness for the later production process.
After leveling and planing, create the glue joint for an optimal glue point.
Glue the wooden boards, let them dry and finally cut them to size
Apply wood glue evenly to the glued joints of the wooden strips using a brush and align. Then attach hold-down device and screw clamps. Double check the panel before the glue sets fully and readjust the strips if necessary.
After the glue has set for about an hour, remove the ferrules and use a scraper to scrape off the residue. This protects machine tables and tools in the further production process and contamination from glue residues is avoided.
Sand the glued panel flat on both sides with a wide belt sander. Cut the wood on the circular saw and divide it exactly in the middle.
Mill a groove
A groove is milled into the inside of both parts for the magnets. The material should only be one to two millimeters thick at this point so that the magnetic force on the contact surface is still strong enough.
Insert magnets and glue for the Stylish knife blocks
Now the blockmagnets are placed in the groove and fixed with the assembly adhesive.
Note: Special care is required when handling the magnets, as they have a very high attractive force. Wrong handling can lead to bruises and injuries.
Glue the block of wood and let it dry
Apply glue evenly to the inside and then join together. Clamp the two parts tightly with sufficient screw clamps.
Grind, oil and mount the stainless steel plate
After the glue has dried and the block is firmly bonded, the wood is sanded one last time. Finally treat the surface of the knife block with an oil and screw on the stainless steel plate.
And done!

As already known, there are a variety of possible applications for neodymium disc magnets. The performance of the discs is used by industrial companies, small businesses and private individuals alike. For example, they can be used in the following areas:
Exhibition and shop construction
As door locks
When building speakers
When closing cell phone cases
Neodymium disc magnets are characterized by their special shape. Because they are flat and round, they can be cut into a wide variety of shapes, grooves, etc. fit - the disc magnets are also available with a hole.
In contrast to ferrite magnets, they also have an extremely high adhesive force or adhesion. Even small neodymium round magnets are therefore very strong.
We are very impressed by this magnetic application. An unique and original piece of Art! Thank you!

Mist nozzles have been magnetically attached here and ensure the perfect cooling off in hot summer temperatures.
Sitting comfortably together on the terrace can quickly be disturbed by the extreme heat.
To prevent this, we present a practical and effective solution.
Mist nozzles magnetically attached
Hello, everyone,
for my idea I needed 10 of your ringmagnets Ø 14.0 x 4.5 x 4.5 mm N35 nickel with countersink.
This allows me to attach spray mist nozzles with the required hoses to the steel girder of my patio canopy without drilling.
A cool application for hot summer days.
The quick and uncomplicated implementation of this idea was achieved in just a few simple steps. Now nothing stands in the way of cooling down.
Magnet applications like this do not offer ease of implementation. Drilling holes is saved. There is no damage and the magnets can be removed at any time and can be flexibly and individually implemented.
Strong ringmagnet with countersink for screwing and 2-pole magnetization.
This magnet does not need a magnet with a different polarity for use in pairs.
With this magnet, the south pole and north pole are on the countersink side.
Note:
You can also use two of these magnets in pairs if required.
Simply bring the two sides of the countersink together and, if necessary, turn a magnet 180°.
Thanks to our customer for sending us his idea.

Dear Magnet Shop team,
Thank you again for providing your great magnets.
The two knife blocks made from an old oak truss beam, which I built with your help, turned out great.
Custom made knife block
Products used: Discmagnet Ø 25.0 x 7.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 12 kg and Neodymium pot magnet Ø 20.0 x 7.0 mm with countersink, holds 8 kg
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization due to the neodymium-iron-boron used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium discmagnets. The range of possible applications for the super magnets is huge. Most of our neodymium discmagnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic discs are diametrically magnetized, recognizable by the extra picture in the product picture.
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The magnet has a central hole with a counter bore. This allows the holding magnet to be securely screwed to the wall / ceiling using a countersunk screw. Metallic counterparts then adhere magnetically to this pot magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. The strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.
If you are looking for weaker and cheaper discmagnets, you will find them among the ferrite magnetic discs.
Visit our partner and see for yourself. It's worth it!
What an amazing, handmade and unique piece! Thanks so much :-)
Raised garden bed
In today's application, we will show you how to build a raised bed for early germination and frost protection and how to protect it with magnets.
Raised garden bed
Hello, everyone,
I have realized a new project "raised bed" with the help of your products.
I needed the following materials: (all dimensions in cm, each L x W x H) (quantities depending on the desired height and size)
Floorboards 140 x 20 x 4 (cut to fit)
Frame wood 100 x 5 x 5 for fixing the floorboards to the posts - screwed concealed
Bubble foil 1,000 x 100 for lining inside
Poles 100 x 10 x 10
Pole support to set in concrete
Concrete
Torx screws 6 x 30 to fix the steel profiles
Plant fleece 1,000 x 150, cut to fit
Discmagnet Ø 30.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 6.3 kg - you need at least 3 pieces per 50 cm
Tools: screwdriver, circular saw, folding rule
I finished the edge with galvanized steel profile.
The steel profiles for the top cover are 200 x 3 x 5, galvanized - these are 1 cm wider than the floorboards because of the covering with bubble wrap.
I filled the raised bed according to the suggestions on the internet. Now in the spring, plant fleece is placed on the raised bed to promote early germination.
This also serves as frost protection. It is held with the disc magnets from your shop.
Works very well! Even in strong winds, the magnets keep the fleece in place. Important: let the magnets protrude a bit so that you can get them off again quickly!
Amplify speakers magnetically
Today's magnet application is an example of how our products can magnetically amplify speakers.
It reaches us from Bulgaria.
Amplify speakers magnetically
Hi there,
My name is Lyubomir. I am writing to show you what we, together with my friend Nikolay, are using your magnets for.
We are lovers of high quality sound and we are constantly developing new speaker system projects.
Recently we found a way to improve the characteristics of certain loudspeakers available on the market. We've made significant advances in sound quality.
Specifically by adding magnets to the speaker. After careful observation and planning, we achieve higher sound levels and less distortion. These are measurable and audible.
In the pictures you can see the already upgraded speakers with amazing results. This was achieved by using the following magnets: Discmagnet Ø 22.0 x 8.0 mm N35 zinc - holds 11.5 kg.
Thank you for this original application.
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization is caused by the neodymium-iron-boron used.
In our shop you will find a large selection of neodymium disc magnets.
You wouldn't believe what you can use the super magnets for.
Most of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are diametrically magnetized.

Today we present you a unique project that was created with the help of our products, a cork tree.
Cork Tree
Hello dear Magnet Shop team,
Thank you for your advice and the sale of metal tape and magnetic tape.
The metal tape sticks very well to the cork wallpaper.
I put together this cork tree from cork wallpaper and glued it to the wallpaper in my practice.
I use the tree as a kind of "Power Point" for my courses and lectures.
At first I wanted to buy a magnetic board, but then found it more individual with the magnetic strips.
On the tree itself I stuck white self-adhesive metal tape, width 35 mm, adhesive base for magnets (sticks very well to the cork wallpaper) for the individual information on paper.
The sheets themselves, A3 and 220 g/m², are self-adhesive on one side with magnetic tape on the back - 25.4 x 1.5 mm with TESA 4965. So I can change the pages at any time, depending on the topic.
Productinformations:
Our self-adhesive magnetic tape comes in a width of 25.4 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. You can cut the tape to the desired length with scissors or a cutter knife.
The magnetic tape is used in fastening and locking technology, display and trade fair construction, planning and advertising materials, as well as in every household.
The flexible metal tape is also known as iron strip, ferrous strip or steel strip. With the help of magnets, you can easily attach pictures, postcards, notes, children's drawings, posters, business cards, etc.
The tape is equipped with a self-adhesive padding foam on the back. It is therefore not necessary to drill holes in the walls for attachment!
It can be laid around corners without any problems and even sticks to rough walls. To do this, first remove the protective film on the self-adhesive side and attach the tape to the desired area.
You can cut the tape into a length of your choice . You only need conventional household scissors for this.
Tonie shelf as a dollhouse
Tonie boxes are becoming more and more popular, but storage is sometimes difficult, so today we would like to introduce you to a Tonie shelf as a dollhouse.
Hi there,
I would like to introduce you to my idea for magnetic Tonie figures:
Tonies are colorful figures that are placed on an easy-to-use Tonie Box, start a radio play or music, and are kept in the design of the respective radio play, for example. So that the figures don't fall off the box so quickly, they are magnetic.
For a long time I have had the desire for a spacious shelf for Tonie figures. And in fact it's me first and foremost, not the child whose figures are hidden in a drawer. Buying would be easy, but neither cheap nor individual. I set out to build a shelf that looks similar to a doll's house, but is only as deep as the characters require. So rather a colorful type case.
Tonie shelf as a dollhouse
And so I cut out all the necessary parts from craft plywood with a jigsaw and primed them white. The motifs are pre-drawn in pencil and then traced with black acrylic pencil. Then painted with acrylic paint and a brush. All parts were glued together and varnished with water-based satin finish wood varnish (suitable for toys).
Finally, the individual compartments were taped over with white Ferro-Soft tape (width 50 mm).
The self-designed Tonie shelf is finished, from which the figures don't fall out again so quickly. And even the child now prefers to put them on the shelf than leave them in the drawer.
Bottle cap shack
Our customer presents his bottle cap collection in a unique way, namely in his bottle cap shack.
Bottle cap shack
Good morning
Inspired by your post with the magnetic foil, I found a nice use for my crown cap.
I wanted my beautiful light wood to be visible in the background. I chose the magnets that you can screw to the wall with a small screw.
Magnet used:
Ringmagnet Ø 11.0 x 2.7 x 4.5 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 350 g
So far I have used about 260 magnets with one screw. A crown cork hangs from each magnet.
Screws used:
2.5 x 16 Phillips
My crown cork collection refers to all drinks that were used in our house.
Since I also like to drink beer, the garden tool holders from the hardware store tempted me to hang the empty beer bottles (rinsed out) with the crown caps on the wall. The device holders were screwed into the wood through the crown caps with a screw.
Alignment was optimized using a level, spirit level, vernier caliper and pencil.
The project is growing and I still have a lot of space on the supporting beams in the wooden hut, so that a few magnets and crown caps can still find their place on the wall.
Even unusual types of beer will slowly but surely replace the "mainstream". Preferably 0.33 bottles.
Magnetic door latch
Our customer has built magnetic door latch for a back door of a house canopy with our products.
Magnetic door latch
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
I am sending you the documents for my magnet application in the appendix.
The result are two door catches for a back door of a house canopy.
Two blockmagnets 10.0 x 5.0 x 3.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 1.4 kg were used. These were used in a 3D print which was painted with RAL 9005.
The door remains closed now. It can still be opened without great effort.
Thank you for this practical and uncomplicated magnet application. It effectively wears out the back door in an invisible way.
For most of our block magnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces. These block magnets also fall into the "neodymium super magnets" category.
With our large selection, you are sure to find the right magnet for your application.
We offer the strong neodymium magnets with a nickel or epoxy coating. Magnets with a black epoxy coating are better suited for humid surroundings.
Other customers have also used our block magnets to realize their projects. Look over here.
Magnetic knife board
A magnetic knife board has become an indispensable part of our kitchens. Bar, block or board - the knives are always kept safe and tidy.
Build unique and individually designed knife holders yourself in next to no time.
Magnetic knife holder-DIY
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
Some time ago I used 20 discmagnets Ø 15.0 x 15.0 mm N45 Nickel - holds 14.4 kg to build a magnetic knife board.
Corresponding recesses were drilled using a 15 mm Forstner bit. The magnets were screwed on with small washers so that they don't pull each other out of the drill holes.
Two rows with 9 magnets each. On one side where the heavier knives are attached, there is also a middle row of magnets.
To prevent the heavy knives from slipping, slightly stronger magnets should be used.
The 2nd generation of my magnetic knife holders is already being planned.
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization transforms even small disks into power magnets.
Most neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically.
Thank you for sending me this great magnetic idea. We look forward to more unique models :-)
3D printed dart lighting
A 3D-printed dart lighting with LED strip is presented to us today by our customer.
3D printed dart lighting
Hello, everyone,
I have just seen the campaign for the publications of the magnet applications and would like to take part in an older magnet order.
I created a dart light with an LED strip with the help of a 3D printer and attached it magnetically to my dartboard.
Ideal for people with 3D printers. Otherwise you can certainly make it from other materials.
So that the lighting stays on the pane, I used 4 of the magnets "Blockmagnet 35.0 x 15.0 x 3.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 5 kg".
Works with all dartboards that have a magnetic tape on the outside. Almost everyone has. A great upgrade for the home darts arena!
Thank you for submitting this creative magnet application idea! We are happy to share this with all of our customers.
Most of our block magnets have the north and south poles on the two opposite large surfaces (axial magnetization).
These cuboids fall into the "neodymium super magnets" category.
The strong neodymium magnets are available with a nickel or epoxy coating. Magnets with a black epoxy coating are better suited for humid surroundings.

Today we would like to introduce you to a customer project that was inspired by the horror film "Jack in the box" - The jumping devil Box.
A lot of sensitivity, know-how and time has been invested here. Absolutely unique!
Jumping devil
The following was used:
10 x Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north
10 x Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore south
12 mm glued wood panels for the housing
Time required:
Construction time approx. 150 hours
Measurements and weight:
Dimensions 420 mm x 420 mm x 420 mm
approx. 15 kg
All functions were implemented only with the help of bolts, springs and a fishing line.
The magnets hold the two large bezels (top and bottom). In addition, these also keep the right wall from the number puzzle.
In this video you can see "Jack in the box" in action

Thank you for this creepy submission!
The Magnet Shop team is always happy about the creativity of our customers, which we are happy to share with you.
Do you also have an idea for using our products?
Then send us the following information to kundenanwendung@magnet-shop.net:
Photos in good resolution - including a whole series of images in the common format or even a video.
A detailed description of your application and tips to follow suit. What should you watch out for, what should you avoid?
Information on the magnets used (do not forget dimensions and quantity) and other required material.
Magnetic work surface
A magnetic work surface for processing, marking or cutting fabrics is a great help.
Magnetic work surface
The problem was to mark, stitch and cut the fabrics in parallel in larger lengths. On an existing round table, these were not right and kept slipping.
There is no space for a rectangular table. After use, the whole thing should be easy and space-saving to accommodate.
You will need:
an ironing board
- Advantage: the worktop is height adjustable
a worktop 700 x 1400 mm made of light plywood, approx. 20 mm thick
- Please note the minimum height of the magnets used and the depth of the wood screws
4 magnets
- here neodymium pot magnet Ø 40.0 x 8.0 mm with bore from older stocks, comparable to the current offer Neodymium pot magnet Ø 32.0 x 8.0 mm with cylinder bore holds 23 kg.
Wood screws
-these should not pierce through the top of the board when attaching the magnets
Processing:
Remove the cover and the felt layer from the ironing board.
The surface should consist of a metallic expanded metal.
Based on the positions of the stabilizing struts, four positions are marked for the magnets.
In theory, other positions are also possible.
The plywood board should have splinter-free edges.
I rounded mine with a contour mill. The surface should be sanded smooth.
Optionally, the surface can be treated in color or with a glaze.
Use a Forstner bit to drill the countersinks for the magnets. These should be flush with the wood.
The magnets were attached to me with wood screws. These reach into the wood with 7 mm.
The holding force of the pot magnets is sufficient not to pull the magnets out of the wood.
Alternatively, these could also be glued in.
Markings have been made on the wooden board to facilitate alignment of the board on the ironing board.
When not in use, the wooden panel can be stowed on a wall to save space.
The ironing board can be changed back to its original shape at any time.
I hope the proposal can provide relief to others in similarly cramped conditions.
The right destination in sight

At the "Fläming-aktiv" hands-on conference on October 26th, 2019 in Wiesenburg, the initiative "The ride-on benches of the municipality of Wiesenburg" was founded.
At the first attempt, the places Wiesenburg, Bahnhof Wiesenburg, Reetz and Schmerwitz take part in the ride-sharing service.
What has been done so far:
The initiative worked out the design, construction and quotation
A donation application from OeLaLa in Reetz e.V. to the Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse was successful.
The financing of 5 ridesharing stations is financially secured.
Approval of the local councils and the municipal administration is available.
Next step was building a prototype. It was set up and tested in Reetz in front of the Sensthof.
The order has been placed. The prototype was installed in Reetz at the end of July.
In the next steps, the other ride-sharing stops were installed.
The right destination in sight - the ride-on benches of the municipality of Wiesenburg
I used your neodymium flat bar 120 x 13 x 5 mm with hole and countersink - 35 kg for our local lift-bench initiative.
The purpose of the magnetic strip is to hold the signs (max. 5 direction pointers) of the travel destinations in position without mechanical locking.
The signs are made of 10 mm thick PVC. Those are held securely to the magnetic strip by means of a furniture screw. The effort required to loosen the magnetic connection is optimal.
The use of their magnetic strip resulted in the perfect solution!
Creating The ride-on benches of the municipality of Wiesenburg
A ride-on bench is a specially signposted and marked bench. It is set up in central locations and traffic axes.
People who want to reach a specific destination can take a seat on the bench and signal their destination to drivers using the permanently installed signs.
These make a contribution to environmental protection. They connect people with each other.
There are no problems under insurance law. The passengers are insured through the driver's liability insurance. The journey goes from the bank to the agreed destination. There are no costs for the passenger.
Unfortunately, there is also a downside; there is no guarantee of a ride. The users of the ride-on benches are primarily people who are more flexible in terms of time.
In order to improve the safety of users, vehicle owners who take part in the ride-sharing service receive a ride-sharing badge that they attach to the windscreen so that they are clearly visible.
The stops are given a uniform appearance.
Ringmagnet as a beer tree
Today's application shows an additional creative idea of a beer tree, but this alternative differs from the classic because a ringmagnet plays the main role in this beer tree.
Ringmagnet as a beer tree
It is a "crown cork tree" or in Bavarian "Bierstopselbam".
The trunk is turned from a round wood (material and dimensions can be freely selected here).
An attachment with a diameter of 32 mm and a height of at least 16 mm is required for the seat of the magnet.
The magnet used in this case is a ringmagnet Ø 72.0 x 32.0 x 15.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 6 kg. If necessary, glue the magnet on with a little glue.
Ultimately, it is up to you how the trunk is processed and decorated. There are no limits to creativity here.
Now the tree can be fitted with crown corks at the next celebration (or at several). Looks nice and there is nothing lying around.
There are many options for upcycling crown corks. Jewelery, decorations, picture frames or magnets can also be tinkered with or decorated with it. Nevertheless, the beer trees make the big race. You can find more ideas from our customers here: Beer trees.
Magformer's work of art

| Products
Today we are introducing you to a work of art made from one of our products: Magformers, complex structures and funny designs - anything is possible with this magnetic toy
My son (Matteo, 7 years old) has been building with Magformers almost every day for the past three years and has already designed many buildings.
Magformer's work of art: castle with chapel
Used Magformers parts:
93 small triangles
119 squares
24 large triangles
4 pentagons
1 hexagon
5 diamonds
4 trapezoids
Additional material:
8 gray stones
2 gray plates
Building instructions
At the beginning I build two tall towers, followed by a central canopy.
The floor and walls are built next, a roof is put on.
Next step is the middle main roof.
The removed skylights are a special construction.
Now the bay window is getting a round roof.
A bridge connection to the chapel is being built.
The small tower was then attached to the side with a connector.
Finally, I decorate the gates with small stones
Magformers magnetic construction kits:
The clever Magformers magnetic construction kits prove that magnetism is not only practical, but can also inspire the creativity of children and adults.
Use the colorful magnetic blocks from Magformers to create exciting and geometric structures in 3D. In this way, the youngsters can playfully deal with magnetism and its effects. Neodymium magnets are integrated on the edge surfaces of the plastic parts, which work like an invisible plug-in system. The Magformers construction sets are suitable for children from three years of age. The inventive spirit is stimulated and are also ideal for adults.
Attachment of the license plate to the S-Pedelec
Today we will show you that our magnets are ideal for an attachment of the license plate to the S-Pedelec
I would like to be able to easily remove and reinstall the license plate on my S-Pedelec.
Unfortunately, a license plate was stolen from me once. The annual change of the license plate is also a lot easier thanks to this type of attachment.
Attachment of the license plate to the S-Pedelec
Material list:
4 x Ringmagnet countersink Ø 16.8 x 4.5 x 4.4 mm plastic coating - black
Or alternatively: 4 x Ringmagnet countersink Ø 25.4 x 4.5 x 6.4 mm plastic coating - black - this increases the adhesive force significantly!
4 x countersunk screws M4 x 12 mm, if possible painted black or black
4 x self-locking nuts M4
Implementation:
4 Ringmagnet countersink Ø 16.8 x 4.5 x 4.4 mm plastic coating - black are used.
Corrosion protection is ensured by the plastic coating made of polypropylene.
The magnets are screwed onto the license plate holder using countersunk screws and nuts.
It is best to use black screws, as these fit better with the plastic casing of the magnets.
Since there were no black screws, I simply painted the screw heads black. The screws fit perfectly into the ring magnets.
In addition, you should use self-locking nuts (with a plastic ring), as these will not loosen when subjected to vibrations.
Now the license plate can simply be attached to the magnet and just as easily removed again.
Bottle cap collector

Our customer accepts an invitation to a barbecue with a unique gift; Bottle cap collector.
Bottle cap collectors, also known as beer trees, are becoming more and more popular.
In the past, we have shared a wide variety of models from own creations with you here on our blog. So also today.
Bottle cap collector
Since you don't go to a barbecue party empty-handed, I thought about what would be suitable. When a lot of bottles are emptied, the crown caps are lying around everywhere. Then I had the idea to build a collector for these bottle caps, which is suitable for a beer garden in terms of design and also has an entertaining effect.
As ingredients I needed:
a tree slice
a crooked branch piece
3 - 4 spherical magnets of different diameters
So far I've used 12.5 mm to 30 mm
As an encore then a bottle opener
After the woodworking, I connected the tree slice to the branch with a wood screw.
The branch nozzles were drilled according to the size of the magnet. (1/2 diameter of the magnet deep).
A wood screw was screwed fully into this hole so that the magnet has a hold.
The wooden surface was processed as desired. Stained, waxed or painted.
Order on request
The first orders came in on the same day. Text requests were also expressed. For example from ACDC fans.
Or unusually grown trees. The bottle openers were also procured on request if possible.
The fun factor was great because everyone wanted to develop their own throwing technique. As a result, more was drunk.
The larger the tree trunk (branch), the larger the magnets had to be chosen. The construction itself is pretty easy and fun is pre-programmed. I can only recommend.
The crown caps shown are of course only a test. Depending on the size (magnetic force), a beautiful treetop can form.
I hope that you like this idea and make it available to other hobbyists and beer garden friends on your blog.
We are enthusiastic about the bottle cap collectors and of course we are happy to share these specimens with all our customers! Thank you for this creative and original submission!
Magnets in model building

| Attachment with magnets
Our magnets are also ideal for model building, as you can read today.
I have to say, I am totally enthusiastic about my application in model making. I am a big model maker and build trucks and trailers on a scale of 1:24 with the aim of building them as realistically as possible.
The kits from the manufacturers Revell and Italeri do not contain any connecting lines for electrical and air supply between the tractor and trailer.
These are available on real trucks.
Model building collection
The Use of Magnets in model building
Solution to simulate connector plugs and cables:
A solution for replicating connectors and cables in the form of beads and wire strands was found relatively quickly. The connection between the plug and the trailer posed a problem.
A permanent bond with glue would already be possible, only the separation of the trailer and the tractor is often necessary in my models, similar to the reality.
For example for dusting or changing the space on the shelf.
My thought was to find small magnets. These should have enough strength to keep the connection.
I was happy to find it in your shop. You can see the result in my attached pictures, it works great!
The assembly process ran as follows:
Important: The magnets are very small. These are placed using tweezers. Plastic tweezers are recommended for this. The magnets are attached to metallic tweezers.
Discmagnet Ø 1.0 x 1.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 25 g, stick in pairs with superglue on the "plug beads"
Paint the plug and the magnets black for a realistic look
Glue the painted plugs with magnets to the connection points on the trailer
Fasten the connection lines on the other side of the "plug beads" with superglue
Remove the cables from the trailer and glue the 2nd side to the tractor unit
The result is a variable plug connection between truck and trailer.
Attach the solar panel magnetically to the roof
Today we would like to show you how our customer attaches a solar panel magnetically to the roof of his vehicle.
His goal was to attach a solar module to a car roof without the roof being drilled or glued.
Solution: Magnetically attach the solar panel to the roof
What to watch out for:
The Neodymium pot magnet Ø 42.0 x 9.0 mm with cylinder bore holds 32 kg and must be attached to the solar panel in a flexible manner so that it can adapt to unevenness or curves on the car roof.
It only holds optimally when it is full.
First, the bottom of the magnet should be covered with thin insulating tape so that the paint is not scratched.
It should be noted that the magnetic force on a thin car sheet is significantly lower than as described in the magnetic data sheet.
If the holding force is not sufficient, there are 2 options:
- First option: glue a sheet of steel to the underside of the sheet metal roof
- Second option: use more magnets
I decided to use more magnets, it is more expensive but easier to implement.
During assembly: place a thick cloth under the magnets until the solar panel is correctly aligned.
When dismantling: place a flat wooden board on the roof and pull off the solar panel with a lever.
Solar panel easily installed
The solar panel was magnetically attached to the roof in no time at all. This type of mounting is suitable for solar panels on vans, mobile homes and trucks.
Trip Map - self-made pinboard world map without pins
Once again we received a really original magnet application from a self-made pin board; Trip Map - self-made pinboard world map without pins.
Trip Map
After our order from you in February, we became aware of your inspiring blog. We would like to supplement existing ideas with ours. We use neodymium magnets to mark our past travel destinations.
It started with a scratch map that was given to us. The world maps for scratching, also called scratch maps, are world maps with a coating that can be rubbed off. (Similar to scratch cards)
We didn't want to present our scratch map as a poster. The scratched targets are marked in color. In our opinion, it clearly devalues the map.
It was a shame for us to pierce the map with pins.
So she waited about 4 years and further trips for your assignment.
By chance an old, framed picture came into our possession in which the scratch map almost completely fit.
For a small amount, we ordered a 0.5 mm thick, 600 x 800 mm sheet steel online. This was fixed in front of the original canvas, behind the scratch map in the frame.
Now we were able to mark out our past holiday destinations and special places with small neodymium rodmagnets and special shapes.
In this case, the silver bar magnets stand for places where one of us has been alone, the gold larger bar magnets are common goals.
Cube or Blockmagnets are supposed to represent trips with our children.
Trip Map - self-made pinboard world map without pins
Another original and unique world map!
Thank you for sending me this great magnet application.
Magnetic fixation of walking aids
A magnetic fixation of walking aids guarantees a quick and safe parking.
The walking aids stay safe and do not fall over.
Put down quickly, safely and within reach
I use magnets to solve tasks faster and better where other methods fail.
Some time ago I gave up my self-employment as an engineer. My wife was in need of care. She uses two walking aids to move.
Walking aid is the generic term for all aids that are used to relieve the strain on joints and to increase mobility.
The manufacturers of the walking aids did not consider the safe and quick parking of the walking aids.
At meetings of the senior citizens' community, I have often seen walking aids falling over after being parked.
This situation is embarrassing and terrifying.
My wife's sticks also fell at home.
My solution to this problem:
Magnetic fixation of walking aids
Two sticks are held together with two magnets on top. The spreading of the rubber feet gives the sticks a secure footing. On the back of the forearm support, a 2.5 mm hole was drilled into the stiffening rib, an M3 thread was cut and a holder for the Blockmagnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 3 kg, was attached with two screws. The bracket was made from a strip of tinplate 10 mm wide, 50 mm long and 0.1 mm thick (2 holes for the screws and bent into a U-shape). After inserting the magnets, the holder was wrapped with tape to secure it.
Individual sticks can also be easily and easily placed on any magnetic object with this magnetic lock. With us, these are attached to a key.
No magnetic object nearby? No problem; Simply glue a small sheet of metal with tape in the appropriate place.
A very practical help thanks to our products. It makes it easier to put down the walking aids and makes them readily available at all times.
Thank you for sending us your idea!

The aim was not to have to glue the wood-formed Styrodur beams and to be able to remove them again if necessary without leaving any residue.
For a 2 m long beam we needed 3 Blockmagnet 20.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - M3 countersunk hole for attachment to the beam and 3 for attachment to the ceiling. In addition, countersunk screws with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 16 mm.
For shorter beams, 4 magnets are sufficient (2 on the beam and 2 on the ceiling). An L-profile is required for this, which is cut into several parts according to the width of the bar.
First of all, the beam had to be provided with a bridge so that it could be attached in the middle.
The bar was scratched on the inside and a bridge made with a smooth plastic material.
We took an L-profile and attached it with plastic glue.
At first we tried to stick a metal tape on, but the glue loosened relatively quickly. Instead, we took a blockmagnet 20.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - M3 countersunk hole and attached it with superglue.
It was important to use the glue in the form of gel in order to be able to smooth out unevenness better.
An attempt with liquid superglue failed and the magnet separated from the plastic after a while.
When removing the magnets from the delivered block, it is essential to wear protective goggles! The magnetic force is so strong that the magnets can break if you are not careful. It is best to solve it sideways.
Magnetically fixed
We screwed the blockmagnet to the ceiling. The hole was pre-drilled with a size 4 drill and an S4 dowel was inserted. We inserted a countersunk head screw with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 16 mm into the countersunk hole of the magnet.
We held the bar and the glued magnet to the ceiling so that we could mark the approximate position where the other magnet will be screwed. The exact position was measured.
When screwing on, we held the magnet by the last few millimeters. We did this in order to align the position with the fastening of the beams.
The beam only had to be placed on the ceiling.
So we saved ourselves the gluing and can remove the beams if necessary without having to laboriously remove adhesive residue.
Only the drill holes would have to be filled.
When removing one should be careful to pull the bar sideways. The magnetic force is so strong that you could otherwise pull the dowel out of the ceiling.
Photo wall made of antique wooden board
Today we received a unique magnet application, a photo wall made of antique wooden boards.
A very special attic find; a 100-year-old plank with a considerable length of almost 5 meters.
Our customers quickly came up with the idea of building a magnetic wall for pictures out of it.
Loft find
Photo wall made of antique wooden board
Processing the screed:
The grinding work lasted several evenings. We took up the challenge of creating grooves on the back. After several attempts it turned out that the grooves had to go about 3 - 4 mm in front of the surface. Then we used sheet metal strips & fixed them with a wooden strip.
The plank was securely attached to the wall.
For test purposes I ordered cubemagnets in different sizes. All cube magnets are magnetized by the height (axially). Due to the 3 identical sides (length, width, height), the side with the magnetic poles can only be determined with another magnet, a compass or a pole finder. When the cube magnets are brought together, they always align with the poles to each other.
The handy and classic shape makes the neodymium cube magnets a universal magnetic everyday helper.
We decided on cubemagnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 10.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 7 kg and attached our pictures with it.
Now I have to order 100 magnets so that the board is full :-).
Make new out of old was the motto for this application. Craftsmanship and creativity were used here. An original and unique one-of-a-kind!
Thank you for sending it to us!
Magnetic window blackout
A magnetic window blackout for tilted windows is presented today.
The tilted window cannot be darkened with the roller blind. Tilting the window creates an undesirable incidence of light.
Problem: The tilted window cannot be darkened
The following were used:
Metal plate 45 x 13 mm galvanized and self-adhesive
Elongated metal plate with self-adhesive back.
The galvanized metal plate has small recessed circles on the front. A foam adhesive is applied to the back with which the "magnetic wall" can be glued quickly and firmly.
The cover paper can be easily removed through the protruding flap.
NEODYM power magnetic tape 1000 x 1.5 mm - self-adhesive
Our neodymium magnetic tape achieves a much higher adhesive force than normal magnetic tape.
The band has the following advantages; it's elastic and flexible. It can be cut with a craft knife or sturdy scissors.
The solution: magnetic window blackout
Glue one metal plate on the left and one metal plate on the right to the lower area of the window frame
Cut the neodymium magnetic tape with a pair of scissors or a craft knife
Dimensions should match the size of the metal plates
Remove the slide-in weight from the roller blind and stick with neodymium magnetic tape strips
Push the slide-in weight back into the blind
Open the window and let the roller blind adhere magnetically onto the metal plates
Magnetic spice rack for mobile home

Todays topic is Magnetic closures for DIY photo albums. Mini magnetic closures for pages and interactive elements in self-made photo albums.
Magnetic closures for DIY photo albums
The flat and self-adhesive disc magnets with a diameter of 10.0 mm x 1.0 mm are ideal as magnetic closures in handmade photo albums. Thanks to the strong self-adhesive back, the magnets are super easy to place in an album. They fix in place without the use of other materials or tools. They are very flat and can be pasted over with paper without any problems. Now they are invisible.
The adhesive force is not lost by sticking it over.
You can see a demonstration of how I use the self-adhesive magnets for my self-made photo album in my video.
These panes are self-adhesive on one side and are assembled in pairs on a carrier tape.
This means that two discs are always exactly on top of each other and stick to each other.
For example, you can use it as an elegant fastener for folders.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQK4s2Ka_kw
A creative DIY project that can be created easily and quickly. There were no limits to creativity here.
The magnetic closure offers an extremely high level of convenience. The closure practically closes by itself due to the magnetic force. At the same time, it can become the eye-catcher of your project.
Thynk you for submitting your great and unique craft idea!

Magnetic board for cutting dies - the practical storage option for hobbyists
Selfmade Board for cutting dies
I used Magnetic foil black coating, width 1000 x 0.85 mm and created a 1.40 x 1.00 m board with a frame for my cutting dies. The cutting dies are made of metal and adhere magnetically.
I can keep them very clearly and practically on the blackboard. I can see at a glance which die I want to use for my next project (my photo albums, greeting cards, etc.).
They hold super tight on the magnetic foil.
I assembled the frame from cut acacia wood panels from the hardware store with angles.
I glued the film to a thin MDF board with double-sided carpet tape. The plate was attached to the frame from behind with short nails.
I chose the wood for the frame to match the chest of drawers in acacia wood.
So-called motif punches (hand punches) or machines are primarily available for punching. The motif of the stencil is pressed onto the material by a mechanism and cut or embossed. Punching machines cut or punch thick materials such as photo cardboard, cardboard, foam rubber, paper, leather. A magnetic or metal foil can also be used.
The board is practical and visually it is a real eye-catcher!
In the video you can see how I used my punching machine for my project;

6 small magnet application examples in the workshop
Our customer often works in his workshop, so he created 6 small magnet application examples in the workshop that we would like to share with you.
For me, these are always objects that I use frequently and therefore want to be within easy reach of the application.
6 small magnet application examples in the workshop
1. Folding rule on miter stop
The folding rule is arranged with 2 ringmagnets Ø 14.0 x 4.5 x 4.5 mm N35 nickel with countersunk always ready to hand on the top of the miter fence. To mount the magnets in the aluminum profile, I introduced two M3 threads.
2. Earmuffs
The earmuffs always hang directly above the machine in use on the ceiling support. Blockmagnets 20.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - M3 countersunk hole were used. In addition to the thread (M3), the magnet is glued to the hearing protection with superglue.
3. Hand brush
The hand brush hangs with a ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 4.0 x 7.0 mm N35 nickel - holds 7.8 kg above the drilling table on the ceiling support.
4. Bevel board
My bevel board has bevels on 8 edges from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, each increasing by 0.5 mm. This means that I can spontaneously select a suitable bevel. Also set it directly on the table router (auxiliary jig). My board hangs on a deck support directly above the milling machine. The ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 4.0 x 7.0 mm N35 nickel - holds 7.8 kg and is flush with the board. The easiest way to do this is with a guided drill (drill stand / bench drill) and a suitable Forstner drill.
5. Wood lathe protective board
The protective board protects the bench bed from soiling when treating surfaces (staining, oiling, painting) directly on the lathe. I already use it when sanding and I also put down the abrasive cloth pieces and felt there. The rear stop on the board is also helpful so that nothing falls down. Thanks to the wooden strip mounted on the underside that lies in the middle of the bench bed and the flush magnet (diameter 20 mm with screw hole), the whole thing can be quickly and easily put on and removed. When I'm not using it, it hangs on the ceiling beam above the lathe.
6. Japanese saw
My most common tool for small chop cuts is my Japanese ryoba saw. This hangs on a ringmagnet (diameter 20 mm with screw hole) always on the side of the drill cabinet.
The headset always at hand
For a passionate gamer, the mainboard, memory, hard drive, processor, graphics card, power supply unit and housing are part of the basic equipment of the PC, and the headset should always be close at hand.
When playing computer games over a network (now also over the Internet with programs such as TeamSpeak), the players in a group can use a headset to exchange their strategies. That is why a headset is an important tool.
Headset always at hand
Required material for the implementation of the idea:
2 x Ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 10.0 x 6.0 mm N44 nickel - holds 7.9 kg
Curtain rail with moveable hooks (in this case from IKEA)
String / Rope or Cord
Velcro cable ties
Flexible headset holder - DIY
Mount the curtain rail on the ceiling
Attach the ring magnet to a string
The length should be adjustable with the help of a non-self-closing loop
Attach the Velcro cable tie including the ring magnet to the headset
I could hang my headset over the desk. Now I can grab it from above whenever I need it. So that the magnets do not collide with one another without being dampened when hanging, the magnet should be completely enclosed by the Velcro tape. In addition, the headset's cable was routed around the rail. My movement is no longer restricted.
Thank you for sending us your magnetic idea!
Magnetic sensor attachment
A magnetic sensor attachment ensures that the electric roller shutters function correctly.
The sensors were attached with suction cups, which unfortunately do not guarantee a firm hold. The shutters started moving at the wrong time of day.
Magnetic sensor attachment
We use so-called electric belt winders for our roller shutters, in our case from Rademacher, which can be retrofitted to any roller shutter.
These sensors are attached with suction cups. Unfortunately, these always fall off after a certain period of time. (Despite previous cleaning of the window with alcohol)
This leads to a wrong brightness signal and thus to the closing of the shutters at the wrong time.
Fixing solution
Required materials:
Ringmagnet Ø 40.0 x 25.0 x 5.0 mm N42 Nickel - holds 12.1 kg
Washer: M14 DIN 9021 galvanized Ø 43 x 15 x 3.5 mm
Adhesive: UHU 46685 special adhesive glass, 3 g (~ 7.00 €, for 4 - 5 washers)
Kitchen towel, alcohol or acetone for degreasing
Method:
Define location for sensors
Clean the adhesive point on the glass and washer with solvent and degrease
Wet the washer on one side with very little adhesive and stick it to the washer.
To prevent the washer from slipping, it was temporarily secured against slipping with adhesive tape
Wipe off possible adhesive residues (outside the washer) carefully and cleanly with a cloth and solvent
Let the adhesive harden (~ 12 h) and remove the adhesive tape
Starting at the belt winder, slide the ring magnet over the fiber optic cable to the suction cup
Press the suction cup onto the washer and fix it with a magnet
Our conclusion:
The system is excellent. The sensor works and no longer falls off. My 96-year-old mother in particular thinks the system is great: her shutters open and close again at the correct time of day.
Bottle cap magnets
Handicrafts from and with magnets; Today's application also shows you self-designed crown cap magnets.
Everyone knows them and everyone uses them, magnets. You can buy them or create them yourself.
Bottle cap magnets
I like to travel. As a souvenir I take one or more bottle caps from each country with me. In the meantime my collection has increased to around 1000 pieces.
In order to be able to view and display the large collection of his souvenirs, these were quickly converted into magnets.
Memo magnet Ø 25 x 8 mm FERRITE - holds 700 g were used for this. The magnets fit perfectly into the crown caps.
They fulfill their purpose and also serve as decoration.
The magnets stick to the inside of the bottle caps as if by magic. It is not necessary to glue the magnets in for this.
A unique and original idea that we would be happy to show you.

Practical use of magnets in the home
In today's post, we're going to show you various options for practical uses of magnets in the home.
Magnets are not only suitable for use in offices or schools. Magnets are useful for handicrafts and crafts, both in your home.
Practical use of magnets in the home
I use your neodymium magnet Ø 16.0 x 6.0 mm with a plastic coating- white - 2.6 kg. I pre-drilled the recesses with a 16 mm masonry drill and then inserted the magnets into the wall with silicone or acrylic. To ensure that it is securely held in the wall, I have provided the magnet with a retention. This works quite well with a hacksaw. Saw the plastic jacket flat all around. Like a groove.
In my video I show you the practical use of magnets in the home:

Removable fly screen with magnetic holder
At this time of year, many insects make their way into our bedrooms uninvited at night. To prevent this, a removable fly screen with a magnetic holder was an effective remedy.
The solution: Removable fly screen
A fly screen should be installed on the bedroom window of our log cabin.
The wooden shutters are relatively close to the window frame when closed. This prevents the shutters with the fly screen in place from opening.
Unfortunately, the metal brackets supplied by the manufacturer for hanging in the frame did not fit either.
An alternative is needed in order to be able to attach the fly screen effectively.
Easy installation of the fly screen
On the metal frame of the insect screen, 3 Discmagnets Ø 20.0 x 2.0 mm N35 nickel - self-adhesive-FT, were glued to the right and left.
At the opposite points of the window frame, metal plates were screwed on. These serve as a counterpart for the magnets. The fly screen adheres to it.
Now the mosquitoes can come - just no longer in the bedroom!
It should be possible to remove the fly screen flexibly and easily at any time so as not to damage it from massive temperature fluctuations.
For this purpose, drawer handles were screwed to the fly screen to make it easier to attach and remove.
Flexible labeling of the berths for the rowing boats
Our customers were looking for a solution for flexible berth labeling of the rowing boats on the trusses, which they could successfully implement with the help of our products.
Row boats
Our home is a boathouse at the end of the Cologne-Mülheimer Promenade. Our space for changing rooms, club room, kitchen and boats is limited and cannot be expanded.
The well-maintained boat park in the hall has already been expanded by a C-1 this year, to mark the 100th anniversary of the club.
We faced the challenge of optimization.
We expect another E-4x for the summer.
The increase means that the boats have to be relocated and move closer together. These are stored on trusses and are made of steel.
We developed the idea of using their magnetic properties.
Flexible labeling of the berths for the rowing boats
We ordered a magnetic tape marking tape - width 30 mm from your online magnet shop.
We took the choice of color and height from the trusses. (black, 30 mm)
To determine the length, we counted the required name badges and multiplied them by the average name length of 25 cm.
With a bit of reserve, we ended up with a need of 2 m.
In the next step, we organized the self-adhesive boat names in white, matching the lettering on the boats, with a letter height of 25 mm.
A cut-resistant base, a craft knife and, if necessary, a set square are sufficient tools for the implementation.
In the next step, the adhesive side of the lettering is exposed.
Align the lettering well on the magnetic tape and press it down firmly over the entire surface.
Tip: The beveled edge surface of the back of a set square is particularly suitable for fixing.
Now the magnetic tape can be cut to match the lettering with the cutter knife.
Tip: The set square helps with a clean cut at a 90 ° angle (or any other desired angle) to the belt edge.
It is then easy to remove the protective paper over the lettering.
Tip: The protective film can be removed after the boat has been transported to prevent the lettering from being scratched.
Lying place labeling of the rowing boats
The old painted or glued lettering has been removed
The truss heads were then newly primed and painted
Now every sign finds its suitable place in the storage area of the boat.
It is a pleasure to see our beautiful boats together with matching and uniform lettering.
Fixation of a magnetic cover for extractor hoods
In today's magnet application, we will show you how to fix a magnetic cover for extractor hoods, which was implemented with the help of our products.
This application makes it easier to reach and replace the extractor hood's filter.
Fixation of a magnetic cover for extractor hoods
In most cases, the covers are screwed to the panel and often make it difficult to open the cover and replace the filter. The annoying unscrewing and screwing of this panel makes the work even more difficult.
This becomes a breeze in no time thanks to this magnetic remedy. The upper part of the chimney is not screwed, but is held by blockmagnets 25.0 x 8.0 x 3.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 3.2 kg.
By pulling down the chimney screen, the cover opens. The filter can now be replaced or cleaned. In order to close the chimney half again firmly, the cover is pushed up again.
Easy replacement of the extractor hood's filter
This self-made fixation is a relief and helps when replacing and cleaning the filter.
There are several types of hoods - filters;
In the past, disposable fleece mats were often used as grease filters. Today these are mostly made of metal. Which can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Odor filters usually contain an activated carbon filter. The filters require regular cleaning or replacement.

The customer took our products to hand so that his board game "Siedler" could be magnetically fixed.
Board games are always popular pastimes, whether young or old, everyone loves them!
The Siedler
This project was implemented with the following magnet:
Rodmagnet neodymium Ø 3.0 x 4.0 mm
The aim was to be able to flexibly expand the Siedler board game and also to fix it with magnets.
BOARD GAME MAGNETICALLY FIXED
I determined the arrangement of the polarity of the individual magnets using an optimization program. Thus, they are the same in every arrangement.
The magnets are sunk into the 5 mm thick material through a hole.
The magnets are not visible and do not interfere with the move. They serve the desired purpose. They fix the board game magnetically and offer the necessary flexibility to expand it at will. The remaining magnets were used by the customer for other little things.
A small galvanized bar magnet. This magnet has a zinc coating on top of the "normal" Ni-Cu-Ni coating. The surface is not glossy but matt.
It can be used at a maximum temperature of 80 ° C.
We are very happy about the success of the magnet application and would like to share this with you.
Thank you to our customer.
Magnetically attached window cover
Today's post shows how you can effectively attach a magnetically attached window cover and thus create an efficient light protection.
Darkening skylights is always a difficult task. They usually have different sizes and also unusual shapes.
Unfortunately, our customer has this problem in his bedroom.
Unfavorable light protection on the roof window
Our bedroom windows face east. The roof windows have a somewhat unusual shape. External blinds are therefore not functional at this point.
The interior blinds of the previous occupants let in too much light. Especially in the summer time, it was way too early too bright. In the picture the Velcro straps are still visible on the frame, in addition to the roller blind we had also attached a curtain with Velcro straps. This roller blind was screwed to the frame in an extremely amateurish way.
Work steps on the window frame
First we carefully drilled countersunk holes in the frame with a router
Then we glued in Discmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 2 kg
Pay attention to the polarity!
Processing The MDF Board
Drill countersunk holes in the MDF board
Glue magnets into the MDF board
Our window was thick enough to allow the magnets to be countersunk. Check the strength of the windows.
We use a 5 mm thick MDF board .
The glued-in magnets are 3 mm thick. That fits wonderfully!
Magnetically attached window cover
Our most important tip:
Measure, measure and measure again: The position of the magnets on the window and cover must match in order to achieve perfect adhesion!
Metal tape for hanging photos
Today we would like to show you how excellent our metal tape is for hanging photos.
Our customer created a colorful picture wall in your home.
Metal tape for hanging photos
The customer used the following products:
Self-adhesive metal tape, white, width 13 mm, sold by the meter
Magnetic tape, self-adhesive
Cubemagnet 4.0 x 4.0 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 1 kg
Individual design with washi tape
It was implemented as follows:
In advance, she decorated the metal tape with washi tape
Then she stuck this on at the desired location
She placed the magnetic tape and cube magnets on the back of the photos so that the photos were invisibly attached to the metal band
Metal band: Versatile
Before attaching, the metal band can be cut to the desired length using conventional household scissors.
You have the option of transforming non-metallic surfaces into magnetic surfaces in no time at all.
The back of the metal band is equipped with a self-adhesive upholstery foam.
In order to be able to stick the metal tape on, the protective film must be peeled off.
Below you can attach any pictures or postcards to it with magnets.
The photos can be exchanged at any time thanks to the magnets. Unlike pin boards or sticking with adhesive strips, the photos are not damaged by using the magnetic products.
Attachment of enamel signs
The customer implemented the attachment of enamel signs, which he would like to proudly present, with our products.
Passion for collecting
I collect enameled historical signs from insurance companies that I would like to display.
Usually such signs are screwed on. Screwing on makes the signs difficult to replace afterwards.
The result is often ugly drill holes in stone or wooden walls and in the worst case scenario I would damage these precious enamel signs that are worth preserving.
The enamel could flake off from drilling. Damage would reduce the value of the signs by half, which I absolutely want to avoid.
The same thing could happen if the screwdriver slipped, that would be devastating!
Advantages and disadvantages of the following mounting options
no damage whatsoever
glue residues are spared
annoying screwing on and unscrewing is not necessary (with the risk of slipping and the risk of enamel flaking off)
can be removed at any time, can be moved flexibly
Arched sheet metal plates can also be attached bomb-proof using magnets of different heights (possibly several on top of each other)
inexpensive mounting alternative
A screw solution would be more secure against theft on publicly accessible external walls.
As a collector of these insurance signs, I will now switch exclusively to magnets for attachment. These offer completely new perspectives.
The Discmagnet Ø 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 nichel - holds 4.8 kg, recommended by you for my purposes , are just right ones.
Attachment of enamel signs in the showcase
Outdoor, protected outdoor area
A metal sign with the usual size of 24 x 16 cm (approx. 500g in weight) requires two magnets. Smaller signs are already securely attached with a magnet or smaller sized magnets. Everything can be exchanged effortlessly and flexibly at any time, which is particularly important for collectors.
Attachment of enamel signs to glass
Indoor
I have two larger insurance signs , with which I didn't want to “hang up” the whole showcase. I attached these signs to the skylight of my room door on the glass pane using a Discmagnet Ø 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 4.8 kg on both sides. Each sign is fixed with 4 magnets. I needed a total of 8 magnets.
Result: A bomb-proof hold, the signs can be moved or removed at any time.
The magnets are very strong. They stick through a pane of glass. The first magnet is held in place on the glass pane. With the other hand, the second magnet is placed on the opposite side of the glass nearby. This magnet automatically finds its counterpart with millimeter precision.
As I said: automatic and bombproof !!
Fastening Enamel signs to acrylic glass positions
Indoor
I have several insurance sings in and on shelves. I bought transparent acrylic stands from the trade.
These stands are ideal for presentation purposes. Dusting the stand prepares extra work. These must always be moved or lifted.
It's annoying and dangerous at the same time. These are quite wobbly and often they stand high on the shelves and are difficult to reach.
Your disc magnets also provide a pragmatic remedy for my situation:
The principle is the same as shown above. 2-4 disc magnets (depending on the size of the sign) are attached to the acrylic stand from both sides.
Now only the insurance sign has to be positioned on the stand. Finished! Again the magnets attract each other automatically.
To a handy unit, the stand and the sign are now connected, which now also makes dusting easier.
The sign does not have to be on the exhibitor; the sign can also be attached with the magnets.
If the sign is positioned a little higher, it can be read more easily by the observer.
The effect is also different: the transparent stand makes the exhibition object appear lighter; it seems to be floating.
I personally feel a need to thank you for my magnet deliveries. The use of magnets opened up completely new possibilities for my hobby. Thanks to the magnetic attraction, there are no limits to my creativity.
We would like to thank our customers from the bottom of our hearts for sending us a detailed description of his magnet application.
Magnetic closure

Today we will show you how our products have been used as magnetic closure in a company.
Magnetic closure
Heide Kabel is a well-known manufacturer in the field of media technology. We manufacture high quality connection panels. We offer years of experience in the field of custom-made products.
For one of our table installation fields with the article designation: Skytower, we use four Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north.
These magnets are screwed into the flap of the connection panel. In turn, they rest on steel spheres, so that the magnetic force is optimally used.
The Skytower connection panel is an ingenious product. It's square dimension enables the connection panel to be opened from any side. The selection of the sitting position at the table remains freely selectable.
USING THE MAGNETS
The photo shows the exact positioning of our magnets. These are located one in the right and one in the left corner of the flap.
The steel spheres are opposite to each other in the corners of the connection panel.
Professionally installed, the attraction of the magnets and steel spheres ensures a secure magnetic closure.
VERSATILITY OF OUR PRODUCTS
The diversity of our products is reflected in this example. Our products are not only suitable for the private sector.
As you can see today the magnets are also great in the commercial sector.
Thank you for submitting your idea.
Magnetic adapter rings for ceiling lights
The customer decides on magnetic adapter rings for ceiling lights in order to be able to replace the old spotlights in the ceiling with LED spotlights.
ADAPTER RINGS FOR CEILING LIGHTS
Many years ago spotlights were built into the ceiling and are now to be replaced by LED spotlights. Unfortunately, he could not find LED spotlights with this diameter on the market. In order to be able to install this in spite of everything, another solution had to be found. He had adapter rings made of stainless steel. These are held securely with our Ringmagnet Ø 14.0 x 4.5 x 4.5 mm N35 nickel with countersunk.
Important and useful note for our customers:
Not every stainless steel is suitable for this! The magnetic properties of stainless steel depend on the structure and processing.
INSTALLATION OF STAINLESS STEEL ADAPTER RINGS
The adapter rings are made to fit perfectly. These cover the existing holes. Now the LED spotlights are professionally installed. They sit perfectly. The stainless steel adapter rings match the color of the LED spotlights. The adapter rings fully serve their purpose here!
Thnks a lot to our customer for submitting his great magnetic application that we would like to share with you.
The farrier
The profession of "farrier" is just as important today as it was in the past. In farms with animal husbandry and animal breeding, this handicraft is essential and is very much appreciated by the farmers.
I have a number of tools in use during my job.
To ensure that these are always at hand, I use your product: Ferrite pot magnet Ø 63.0 x 14.0 mm cylindrical bore, 29 kg.
The anvil and the magnets are mounted on a stainless steel sheet.
The farrier
He is a specialist in "manicure & pedicure" for ungulates. Traditionally he makes the horseshoes and horseshoe nails himself using the forging process. He adapts the shoes to the shape of the hoof. In addition he also cuts the hard horn from the hoof and rasps it off. With this regular care, about every 6-8 weeks, at least advise the farriers who come to the riding stables regularly. Since approx. 10 mm horn (wall horn) plus sole, lamellar and beam horn should be produced per month. A healthy hoof is harmonious. Beaucse of this, the animals can walk properly, inflammation is prevented and the animal always wears the right "footwear".
By using our magnets, the customer makes his work easier. All tools are within reach. This ensurers that the anvil remains firmly and securely attached to the sheet metal.
Magnetic attachment of handlebar cuffs
Our customer is reluctant to go without motorcycling in winter so he came up with the right idea; magnetic attachment of handlebar cuffs.
I have been a motorcyclist for many years and also ride my motorcycle in winter.
For this I bought an old motorcycle combination (built in 1979) which I have been driving in winter for years.
The vehicle has winter tires fitted and leg protection.
Since my hands get too cold and too wet every now and then, my family gave me heated motorcycle gauntlets.
These are very easy to assemble and keep my hands nice and warm.
Unfortunately, these gauntlets are not attached to the handlebar ends. It is therefore difficult to put your hands in the gauntlets while driving.
You also have to take your hand off the handlebars every now and then. You might have to open or clean the visor while driving too.
Magnetic attachment of handlebar cuffs
I provided the cuffs with strong neodymium pot magnets with threaded bushes. Pot magnet Ø 32.0x7.0 mm, with internal thread M5 holds 35 kg
Magnetic fastening of handlebar cuffs in detail:
To make it easier and quicker for the customer to slip in and out of the gauntlets, he attached a screw with a large washer to the handlebar ends for attaching the handlebar counterweights.
Now I can quickly assemble the gauntlets, they are firmly fixed to the handlebars so that I can easily slide my hands in and out while driving.
If I have a defect on the handlebars, e.g. B. a cracked throttle cable, I can dismantle the gauntlets without tools and put them back on quickly.
Thanks to the strong magnets, the gauntlets also hold at over 120 km / h!
It is important, however, that the magnets have enough iron to adhere so that they can develop their full adhesive force to a large extent.
Hence the thick, large washers on the handlebar ends.
Magnetic knife block
Magnetic knife blocks are becoming more popular every day; everyone wants one and that's why our customer built his own magnetic knife block.
Magnetic knife block
This unique piece was created from an old barn roof beam and the following material:
Tinder steel plate 150 x 150 x 15mm
Round steel steel with a diameter of 17 mm and a length of approx. 140 mm
Beam 130 x 130 x 300 mm
Threaded rod M10
Clear coat
Hardwood oil (suitable for children's toys)
32 x Rodmagnets Ø 10.0 x 50.0 mm N52 nickel - diametrical
Manufacture of the base plate for the magnetic knife block:
Drill a 8.5 mm through hole
Cut M10 thread
Adjust edges
Optionally paint with clear varnish (tip: use the underside as a support and paint it separately after drying)
Magnetic knife block - production of the round bar:
Drill an 8.5mm hole at the top of the rod (about 30mm deep)
Cut M10 thread
Optionally varnish with clear varnish (put on the side that disappears into the wood afterwards)
Assembling the stand on the magnetic knife block:
Screw approx. 25 mm long threaded rods into the round rod
Screw this onto the base plate
Magnetic knife block - production of the wooden block:
Brushing the old wooden beam (round steel brush in cordless screwdriver works perfectly for this)
Drill two holes with a diameter of 10 mm on each side of the block about 270 mm deep in the beam from below.
The edge distance should not be larger than 5 mm, otherwise the strength of the magnets will be too weak.
It is important here that you use a drill press, otherwise no straight hole will be created on this length and you will quickly break through to the outside.
Drill an 18 mm hole in the middle with a Forstner bit with a depth of approx. 110 mm.
Then 4 of the above bar magnets are inserted into each hole.
Finally, the rest of the hole is closed with a wooden dowel and the underside sanded smooth.
Now the beam is let in with the wood oil (2 passes are sufficient)
This is how THE magnetic knife block is assembled:
The finished beam can now be pushed onto the stand via the 18 mm hole. This means that the knife block can be "rotated" and the knives can be attached to the side.
There are now countless ideas & examples on magnetic knife blocks. The design, the functionality and the texture are just a few factors that are decisive here. In addition, the size and color also play a big role when purchasing this gadget. You can create, build and design these yourself, but also purchase them in our shop: Magnetic knife blocks.
Magnets in the wood workshop
We will show you what can be implemented with the help of our products in today's application: Magnets in the wood workshop.
Our customer has found several possible uses that help him keep his workshop clean, tidy and brightly lit.
Magnets in the wood workshop
Fixation of a garden gate
The wood must be brought into the garden. The garden gate is in the way and interferes with work. Without further ado, it was magnetically attached to the garden fence.
Magnets in the wood workshop - spotlights on the ceiling provide enough light
An LED spotlight attached to the ceiling with hook magnets ensures sufficient lighting in the workshop.
Magnets in the wood workshop - perfect light on the band saw
A lamp attached with the help of ring magnets also provides the perfect light on the band saw.
Magnets in the wood workshop - suction cups, wood and accessories are attached to steel girders and do not interfere
Order and secure hold thanks to the use of eye and hook magnets on the I-beams of the workshop ceiling. There is space for tools, cable reels and the like.
Magnets in the woodworking workshop - tools always close at hand on the drill
So that you don't have to look for the required tools for a long time and they always hang on their fixed places, those were also attached magnetically to the drill press.
The following magnets can be used for the above-mentioned applications:
Eyelet magnet Ø 32 mm NEODYMIUM - zinc - holds 34 kg
Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north and matching counterpart Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore south
Ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north and matching counterpart Ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore south
Magnetic hook Ø 68 mm for vertical use, rubberized, white - holds 4.2 kg
Hook magnet Ø 25 mm NEODYMIUM - zinc - holds 22 kg
Magnetic plate neodymium Ø 28 mm with carabiner hook - holds 20 kg
Rotatable neodymium magnetic hook Ø 38 mm, black - holds 30 kg
Hook magnet Ø 20 mm NEODYMIUM - zinc - holds 10 kg
Blockmagnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 1.7 kg
Blockmagnet 18.0 x 3.0 x 4.0 mm N48H nickel - holds 2 kg
Magnetic attachment of a lamp to steel girders
So that it is no longer dark at his front door, our customer created a magnetic attachment of a lamp to steel girders.
You can read how he succeeded in today's post.
Magnetic attachment of a lamp to steel girders
The implementation of his idea took place quickly and without the use of any tools. No drilling or screwing was necessary here.
The outdoor lamp used for this is equipped with brackets. These brackets are magnetic and offer a great advantage here. The blockmagnets 25.0 x 15.0 x 4.0 mm N50 nickel- hold 6.8 kg used by the customer, simply pull onto the clips. The clamps were attached to the lamp.
More reliable hold thanks to magnets
The existing steel girders of the canopy create the right basis in order to attach a lamp magneticly onto the steel girders. The lamp was simply attached to the steel girders. Magnetically and as if by magic, the light sticks securely and reliably to the steel girders. The attached light now offers the necessary lighting in the entrance area. Nice and bright and practical.
This application of magnets is again an example of the versatility of our products. We are always happy about the most diverse ideas and uses of the magnets.
We would also like to thank this customer for submitting his application.
Many Thanks!

The bicycle lock holder is to be removed for his bicycle tours through the woods, so the customer built a magnetic bicycle lock holder to make this possible.
Magnetic bike lock holder
His plan was implemented quickly. With 2 ring magnets Ø 20.0 x 6.4 x 5.0 mm N35H nickel with counterbore north for the frame and 2 ring magnets Ø 20.0 x 6.4 x 5.0 mm N35H nickel with counterbore south for the holder.
In order to be able to drive without impairment, a bracket was needed that could be attached and removed quickly.
It also gets dirty very quickly in the woods.
On the frame I used the rubber caps for Ø 20 mm to protect surfaces, of course you can also attach them to the lock bracket.
This bracket can be attached to any bike with a bottle holder. The bike model shown is the HAIBIKE Modular Rail System (MRS) with the matching lock nut.
Driving fun without a disruptive factor!
With the help of the magnets used, the magnetic bicycle lock holder sticks to the bicycle as if by itself. The bracket can be attached and removed at any time as required.
We find this idea very clever and thank our customer for sending us his application.
Thanks!

In today's magnet application, we present you an alternative to wall decoration; a bottle cap wall.
This magnet application comes from one of our employees today.
Bottle cap wall
In his previous job as a bartender, he collected an enormous number of bottle caps.
These colorfully mixed bottle caps gave him the idea to equip his living room wall with them.
The implementation:
Our self-adhesive magnetic film - can be trimmt to size with a thickness of 1 mm - was used here.
Our employee decided not to stick the film on. He nailed it directly to the wall.
Alternatively, you can use the Magnetic foil, self-adhesive on one side, width 610 x 1.0 mm x meter.
Please keep in mind; this film is stored and sold on rolls. At the beginning, this can curl up again.
The bottle caps adhere to the magnetic foil by themselves. The use of an adhesive or magnet is not necessary here.
Countless projects can be implemented with bottle caps. Equipping a complete living room wall with it is also an absolute novelty for us.
There was absolutely no limit to creativity. Visually, this wall became an absolute eye-catcher in his living room.
The effort that was made here was very great. Attaching each individual bottle cap took a lot of time and took several days.
We would like to praise and share the result of this arduous work with you.
A very original idea!
Many thanks to our employee for this great application.
The price of neodymium magnets
Why are neodymium magnets so expensive?
The price of neodymium magnets, so-called "super magnets", is comparatively high compared to other types of magnets.
This is because the raw materials required for this (including neodymium) are almost exclusively mined in China. The country can therefore set the price and reduce the available quantity.
The current price development can be followed e.g. here or here A permanent increase in the neodymium price can be clearly seen.
Price increase for neodymium magnets in 2011
In 2010, China reduced its rare earth export quota by around 60%. In the following year, the price of neodymium rose sharply. This had a direct impact on the prices of neodymium (NdFeB) magnets.
China itself has an estimated one-third of the world's neodymium deposits. However, most other countries have given up mining the rare earth metal. The quasi-monopoly, China, kept prices so low that mining was unprofitable for many countries. Due to the lack of competition, the world market price for the rare earth metal "neodymium oxide" can therefore continue to be freely determined by China.
Price increase for neodymium magnets in 2021
About 10 years after the last strong price increase, a significant increase in the price development of neodymium can also be reported in 2021.
Before that, prices had remained stable for a long time, but the price of raw materials has increased significantly since October 2020. It is currently not possible to foresee how the development will continue in the near future.
This re-newed strong increase is reinforced by the freight costs, which have also risen sharply due to the corona pandemic.
Neodymium magnets are almost exclusively transported from China to Europe by ship.However, the demand for container capacities has increased so strongly in recent months that the prices for this have increased accordingly. The shipping costs have a direct effect on the imported goods . Aswell on neodymium magnets.
We always offer our customers the best possible price
We at magnets4you are always busy offering you our products at the best possible price. To this end, we work out fair price scales for all of our categories (e.g. ringmagnets, blockmagnets or discmagnets), with which we can accommodate you when purchasing larger quantities.
However, we ask for your understanding that we have to prepare our offers. Especially for custom-made products, with relatively short deadlines (usually 1 week). The development of raw material prices can often not be predicted.

Today we present you an extraordinary and interesting magnet application; creating a word clock.
Our customer built his own word clock. This original gadget was created in detail and precisely.
A word clock is a clock. These have a special feature. They do not show the time with digits and numbers, they "write" the time.
Word clock
Metal or wood front
Used material:
9 Rodmagnets Ø 8 mm x 10 mm N42 holds 1.3 kg
Hardboard 460 mm x 460 mm x 3 mm
MDF board 460 mm x 460 mm x 16 mm
Thin sheet DC01 500 mm x 500 mm x 1.5 mm
Aircraft plywood maple 500 mm x 500 mm x 2 mm
114 LEDs (LED strip WS2812B 30 LED / m)
Electronics ESP8266, Wemos D1 mini V3
Silver wire, Vesper paper, USB power supply
Structure of variant 1 - LED plate
Glue 11 strips with 10 LEDs each
A square of 299 mm x 299 mm (given by the distance between the LEDs on the strip with 30 LEDs per meter) should result.
Connect all LED strips with each other + 5V, GND and data.
Structure of variant 2 - MDF board
Drill 114 holes of 25 mm each for the LEDs.
Drill 9 holes of 8 mm each for the bar magnets.
Cutout for the electronics.
Attach the diffuser
Cut strips of Vesper paper and cover all LED holes with adhesive tape
Front panels
Thin sheet, 1.5 mm thick, weighing approx. 2 kg.
This is held very well by the bar magnets and pressed perfectly against the diffuser.
Interchangeable designs can be created through different paintwork.
The magnet holder can be exchanged at any time.
Aircraft plywood maple (2 mm)
With the glued-on washers, this front plate also adheres very well to the magnet.
At this point, small recesses are milled so that the plate lies flush with the diffuser.
Working method
The software that runs on the electronics needs a WiFi connection to get the time from an NTP server. This provides websites for configuring the clock.
The color of the LEDs and other settings can be made via these. Nice patterns are displayed at full hours.
Representation in different colors
In the following video you can see how the word clock shows the time in different colors.

Thank you!
Magnetic spice rack
Our customers need more space and order in the kitchen, and they succeeded with a magnetic spice rack.
Who does not know that? Lots of different spices accumulate in the kitchen cupboards and on the work surface.
Sometimes there are so many that it becomes confusing and the right spice can only be found after a long search.
To put an end to this, this practical and simple kitchen utensil was built.
Magnetic spice rack
These materials were used:
Metal plate, size as desired and required
4 angle profiles
Spice jars of metal
Disc magnets Ø 25.0 x 3.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 750 g - 24 magnets were used for this project
Strong glue for metal
Easy and quick implementation
I glued the angle profiles to the metal plate at the desired distance so that the spice jars hang in a straight line on the metal plate.
The magnets are loosely attached to the metal plate, so I can use them again and again if I no longer like the spice board or if I get another idea.
Due to the magnetic attraction, the spice jars adhere to the magnets as if by magic. They hold very well on the board even when fully filled and do not slip.
Spice racks come in different designs and sizes. The choice is wide. Finding a suitable one for your own kitchen is usually a big challenge, because either they are too small, too bulky or do not match the design of the kitchen. Therefore, applications like this one show how easy, quick and cheap your own utensil can be created.
Thank you for sharing!

Our customers were looking for an advent calendar for their 1 year old daughter. They decided on a magnetic Christmas crib as advent calendar.
Original and creative
We painted 24 small figures that measure an average of 7 x 7 cm. We laminated all of these figures into a solid film and finally glued a ferrite disc magnet (diameter 1.8 cm) to each piece from behind with the hot glue gun.
There is a new figure in each bag
Our daughter isn't eating sweets yet. The calendar should contain something other than small pieces of chocolate.
Every day our little daughter was able to find a new figure in a bag and complete the crib step by step until Christmas Eve.
We expanded the figures and added the three kings and a camel. Now we have a total of 28 figures.
The whole nativity scene can be attached to the refrigerator or the radiator.
Magnetic Christmas crib as advent calendar
This type of advent calendar is very creative. It is reusable and stable. The figures are colorful and give the little one a lot of joy.
After the Advent season, the figures can alternatively be used as a game. The magnets make them stick to various metallic objects.
We are always fascinated by what our customers create with our products. This magnet application is also truly unique!
Many thanks to our customers for sending us their magnet application.
Thank you!
Encouraging creative ideas in children
Our customers attach great importance to promoting creative ideas in their children. Today we will show you how our products have supported the family.
Small and varied museum at home
Encouraging creative ideas in children
We promote the artistic talent of our children with your magnets.
Children are the best example of how much creativity there is in each of us. Unfortunately, in the course of their lives, this talent is forgotten by most people or is buried under everyday life. That is why it is so important to give the children's works of art the appropriate space.
We want our children to be encouraged to produce many more great pictures.
For this we have attached a wall with a magnetic fleece under the wallpaper. We bought all of the products at Livingwalls.
Also the glue, the quality of which is important for a good result.
Attaching the products was easy.
Our wall is approx. 3 x 4 meters. We have attached an extra strong magnetic fleece measuring 2.60 x 1 meters.
After a very good telephone consultation with you, we now attach the works of art with very strong discmagnets Ø 15.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - self-adhesive.
So that the works hang properly, we put a magnet in each corner.
The good thing about this technology is that the works of art can be repositioned as the mood takes you or can be quickly adapted to the season.
And all without drilling.
It will never be boring at home!
Magnetic attachment of a lamp to a steel boat

In order to be able to work on his steel boat, our customer needed a reliable attachment for a lamp. He decided on a magnetic attachment option.
He used products from our shop for this.
The battery-operated work light went out before work was done. This work lamp is equipped with strong spotlights. Such lamps are available with LEDs.
Magnetic attachment of a lamp to a steel boat
It's time again for underwater work to be done on my boat. For this I need a lot of light and a perfect work lamp at its location.
Two Hook magnets Ø 36 mm NEODYM - zinc - holds 41 kg were used for the assembly.
Application:
I couldn't position my lights so that they were upright and correctly illuminate my work area under the boat. A table lamp did not serve its purpose either, as it does not generate enough light and unfortunately I cannot attach it to the ceiling because the light does not shine as far as the desired work area.
I had no choice but to put them on the floor or on the straps of the boat trailer. Neither was optimal.
Then the idea occurred to me: “The hull of the boat is made of steel!” So what could be better than a magnet ?!
Go to the internet shop I trust and lo and behold, there was a solution = a hook magnet!
Hook magnet for magnetic attachment
The only thing that is always difficult to estimate is the adhesive force.
I let the dead weight go through my head and took into account the pull on the hook magnet for a vertical application.
So I decided on the 41 kg variant.
The housing of the lamp has two eyelets, the distance between which was used for attaching the hooks.
These keep my lighting perfect, whether horizontally or vertically. The length of the cable from the plug to my workplace was sufficient.
From the pictures you can see that the magnetic attachment of the lamp to the steel boat was rounded off with the help of a chain.
The chain is simply passed through the hook and then attached to the desired position. This gives you the perfect light on the back.
No rails or other tools are needed for this product as the hooks do their job.

Photo walls are the absolute eye-catcher nowadays, but our customer wanted something unusual; a photo wall made of welded wire mesh.
Photo wall made of welded wire mesh
Required materials:
1 x welded wire mesh, those that are normally installed as reinforcement in concrete floors / ceilings.
I bought a simple one that I got at the hardware store for around € 20.
4 x simple nails
Some garden wire to attach the steel mat to the wall.
Approx. 50-60 discmagnets Ø 3.0 x 1.5 mm N50 nickel - holds 300 g.
Please make sure that the magnets are not too small, otherwise they will be difficult to grip with your fingers.
Zapon varnish
Spirit
Washing-up liquid
Creation of the photo wall from welded wire mesh:
Degrease thewelded wire mesh from the hardware store with washing-up liquid and rework with spirit
For the first photo wall, I painted the steel with clear Zapon varnish.
I saved myself that on the second. So far no sign of rust film or the like. Still shiny.
Hang up the welded wire mesh with two nails, one on the left and one on the top right, and secure it with the garden wire.
This prevents the welded wire mesh from slipping. (Can be seen on the photo)
I stretched the welded wire mesh against the wall with two more nails, one on the right and one on the bottom left.
Then the photos, postcards or other light things were attached to the welded wire mesh with the magnets.
This unusual photo wall made of weled wire mesh is ready. It gives the living room a great flair!
The decoration options are unlimited. There are no limits to creativity here.
Such a wall grille is also perfect as an upcycling project. By adding a string of lights or for climbing plants, for example.
These welded wire meshes are not only for construction, but are also ideal as a creative garden decoration or as a pin board.
Knife block made of walnut wood

Our customer wanted an original piece in his kitchen and built this unique knife block out of walnut wood.
Knife blocks differ greatly in design, shape and texture, including this model here.
I used the following materials for my Knife block made of walnut wood:
1 piece of walnut wood with bark
4 x Neodymium bar 100 x 13 x 5 mm with hole and countersink - 30 kg
11 x Discmagnet Ø 15.0 x 15.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 14.4 kg
5 x Metal disc Ø 30 galvanized with double-sided adhesive tape
1 x 5 minutes epoxy adhesive fast curing 2-component adhesive
1 x Mixing nozzle for epoxy adhesive (EPK-25) with bayonet
I worked with the following tools:
Cordless screwdriver
Sandpaper
Forstner drill bits 16 mm and 20 mm
Multifunctional tool with milling head and router attachment
Chisel
Japanese saw
Knife block made of walnut wood
First I prepared the wood: sawn, sanded and treated with linseed oil varnish.
With the 20 mm Forstner drill, I pre-drilled the compartments for the flat strips and milled them down to 3 mm remaining thickness with the milling machine.
Since it was too tricky for me to break through to the surface due to the 2-3mm long centering mandrel of the Forstner drill, I decided on the option with the milling cutter. Alternatively, you could perhaps grind the centering mandrel.
After I tried to use the flat strips, I noticed that small knives were being held, but the larger knives slipped through the heavier handles.
Even medium-sized knives "slipped" a little and had difficulties staying vertically (depending on where the handle was centered).
So I decided to give each knife a disc magnet above the flat bar. To do this, I drilled for the disc magnet Ø 15.0 x 15.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 14.4 kg with a 16 mm Forstner drill up to 3 mm remaining thickness (that worked because the smaller drill had a shorter centering mandrel).
Tips:
In order to be able to attach the knife holder to the wall without a base, I embedded 5 magnets, each 1cm deep, into the wood, so that a protrusion of 5 mm was created.
This made it possible to achieve a nice "floating" effect and the whole thing stood out a little from the wall.
Wood screws were not necessary. Because I used the epoxy resin adhesive to glue the magnets in, as this is better suited for magnets than ordinary glue.
Suitable for visually demanding bonds. It bonds a variety of materials, such as metal, ferrite, marble, ceramics, stone, wood, concrete and plastic.
It is essential to ensure that all magnets are glued at the same time, as the glue in the mixing nozzle hardens quickly (after 5 minutes it is too firm).
Attachment of the knife block:
To attach the knife block to the tiles, I placed the self-adhesive metal disks on the fastening magnets and cleaned the wall clean, grease-free and dry.
Conveniently, the tile joint was perfectly horizontal and so you could align the knife holder with it. The foils were peeled off all adhesive surfaces and the knife holder together with the metal disks were pressed against the wall.
Then this was pushed to the side to loosen the holding magnets.
I pressed the metal discs firmly on again.
The 3 cm metal disks provided enough adhesive surface.
This enabled me to make small corrections to the position of the block afterwards.
At the lower edge of the wood, I made sure that the metal discs did not protrude.
The advantage is that the holding magnets do not have to sit in the middle of the metal discs in order to have a good hold.
This DIY knife block is truly a unique idea. A great eye catcher!
In summary, I can say that fewer holding magnets of this caliber would have been sufficient.
If the cordless screwdriver is used, please note the required depth and that you only drill vertically.
A drill press would most likely simplify this process.
The magnets adhere perfectly.
Nothing wobbles and it is really tight!
An alternative would have been to use only the 15 x 15mm disc magnets without the additional use of the flat bars.
A small knife is reliably held on the back of the knife.
The variant with the flat strips was the better decision for me. The knives can be repositioned at any time.
Even smaller vegetable or office knives can simply be clamped in between.
Magnetic world map
Today we are introducing you to a very special magnetic wall, a magnetic world map in XXL format. Our customer is a big travel fan.
To put it simply, magnetic film, paint and wooden board are the three options for constructing a magnetic wall in any room.
Each method can be easily implemented on your own. Your own magnetic board in your own design.
World map - Magnetic
To create my map, I painted my entire wall with magnetic paint Magpaint - magnetic wall paint and papered it with a photo wallpaper made of fleece.
The color is mixed with fine, rustproof iron particles. A magnetic attraction arises.
Non-woven wallpapers are particularly hard-wearing, easy to process and flame-retardant. The material can also bridge small cracks in the plaster substrate. Different surfaces from completely smooth to coarse embossing patterns to printed ready-made non-woven wallpapers are offered at different prices. This wallpaper is also available as a map of Germany or Europe. A frame as a conclusion was not used here. The quality of the non-woven wallpaper reflects the end result.
Travel around the world once
The markings for the next travel destinations can be attached to this map by using Rodmagnet neodymium. Become a globetrotter and indulge in memories after every return. You can also attach postcards received from family and friends from Europe and other countries around the world to this XXL pin board.
This XXL world map transforms the living room into a breathtaking room. A real eye-catcher!
You can find many different ideas online for creating a world map at home. You will also find such creative ideas on our blog. Take a look!

Today we would like to show you how our customer created a clever magnetic bottle opener from simple materials.
Before each sip, your own message can be viewed on the bottle opener.
When opening the bottles, the crown corks always fell around in the area. I solved that with a magnet.
Magnetic bottle opener
Instructions:
A wooden board was cut into 3/3 cm strips with a length of approx. 20 cm.
These strips were cut into the desired shape with a band saw.
In the middle distance of the blank I drilled a hole with a wood drill.
A wood screw was sunk into it and fixed at the bottom with a large metal washer.
The wood drill was used again in the head of the bottle opener; a hole with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of about 4 mm was drilled.
Into it, a neodymium pot magnet Ø 10.0 x 4.5 mm with counterbore holds 1.3 kg was incorporated.
My magnetic bottle opener is ready.
Simple, practical and good!
When opening bottles, the corks stick to the magnet.
I then decorate the bottle openers by hand: names, characters or the like personalize my bottle openers for each individual user.
To protect this personalization, I paint it a total of two times with a glossy clear varnish.
In my case, a clear coat spray can.
Great gifts, work great, the eye-catcher. Hiss your fridge chilled beer.
We think so too, of course! By far the most beautiful gift! Thank you for sending us your magnet application.

Our customers needed childproof drawers in their homes. With the help of our products you have achieved the perfect drawer security.
The problem is well known: the toddler begins to crawl and crawl and nothing is safe anymore in the apartment. Drawers and doors in particular have a magical attraction for children - like magnets!
Child-safe drawers
This drawer of a kitchen cabinet has a fixed handle on the inside.
Unlike in an example in the blog, there is no handle on the outside by means of a hole that can be used as a fixation point for magnets or metals.
The solution: fixation of magnets on the inside of the drawer front.
Assembly instructions child Safe drawer lock
1 Discmagnet Ø 20.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 6.1 kg was used per drawer
A Frenzel drill with a 20 mm diameter was used
Drilling machine
Magnet holder - used as a handle
Discmagnet Ø 20.0 x 2.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 2.5 kg
Since the wood is too thick for normal magnets (> 1 cm) and fixation is made easier, a Frenzel drill is used on the inside of the drawer to drill an exactly 2 cm diameter hole up to approx. 5 mm remaining depth of the wood.
Fit discmagnets with a diameter of 20 mm.
The height is at least 1 cm.
Depending on the thickness of the wood, the magnets can also be completely sunk.
Caution: do not drill too deep!
Pay attention to the alignment of the magnets and then fix the magnets with a piece of fabric tape on the inside of the drawer.
Invisible locking device
After removing the handle, the drawer is now “Baby-Safe”.
The drawer can now be opened easily with two disc magnets lying on top of each other.
Here an old curtain rod holder was used as an assembly aid.
Found the roughly center of the drawer.
The magnet adheres automatically.
Mask off the outer surfaces of the magnets with fabric tape so that no scratches can occur on the surface of the drawer.
This fuse is perfect for drawers, cupboards and chests of drawers or windows. Some objects put children at risk. Children's hands are small, they get to dangerous places, which can lead to their fingers being pinched. This locking mechanism protects the little ones from possible injuries. This child safety device is also suitable for doors.

Our customer conjured up an original and unique play wall for your sponsored child.
Wooden toys are very durable. Such play equipment can be found in waiting rooms or waiting rooms of doctors, in the crèche, in the day care center or in the kindergarten. These motorized play walls are also more popular at home and in playgrounds.
With their bright colors and different shapes and figures, they promote the motor skills and development of children.
Part of this play wall are colorful balls on an aluminum rod, which are repelled by magnets.
This allows the balls to move. They bounce and spin.
She used the following magnets to create the play wall:
8 x Ring magnets Ø 15.0 x 8.0 x 6.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 5 kg
Manufacture of the play wall
For the first time I drilled a hole with a Ø of 6.5mm through the entire ball through which an aluminum rod with a Ø of 6mm runs.
In order to integrate the magnets in it, I also used a 15 mm drill to drill 6 mm recesses in the upper and lower areas of the balls.
The magnets were fixed in these recesses with hot glue.
With the help of a 3D printer and its settings, two brackets for the pole were printed.
There is also a magnet in the lower plastic holder so that the bottom ball is also repelled upwards.
In the uppermost sphere, only one magnet was inserted in the lower area.
So that the balls repel each other clearly, it was important that the magnets are strong enough. So I decided to use magnets with a load capacity of 5 kg.
There is a direct connection with the gears. These start moving as soon as one is turned.
In the attached video you can see in more detail how the magnets were positioned and how they work.

A great and colorful play device that invites you to play in the children's play area. Great!
Magnetic filter holder on the aquarium
In today's magnet application we would like to show you how you can use our products to create and attach a magnetic filter holder to the aquarium. This idea and its implementation was sent to us by a 14-year-old boy.
I was looking for a solution to attach a filter to my 100l aquarium. The suction cups lose their power after a while and no longer hold on to the glass pane. Gluing the filter with aquarium silicone wasn't a solution for me either. The filter should remain movable as desired. I got the idea to stick the magnets directly onto the filter.
Magnetic filter holder on the aquarium
The following materials were used here:
2 cm wide, fine filter mat
Aquarium silicone
8 x Neodymium magnet 25.4 x 12.7 x 6.3 mm with plastic coating - black - 3.8 kg
Our customer describes his application as follows:
The filter is held on the outer pane of the aquarium with additional magnets.
First I glued a block with aquarium silicone to the magnet as a spacer.
I did this four times so that the strength of the magnets is sufficient to carry the entire water filter with pump and heating rod.
The silicone had hardened after 24 hours.
Now I glued the four magnets with spacers onto the filter.
I cut a fine filter mat to a width of 2 cm. This should be attached to the side of the filter to which the magnets are to be attached.
I glued this to the filter.
In addition, I cut holes in these to attach the magnets. This prevents fish from getting between the filter and the pane of the aquarium.
The spacer and the magnet correspond to the width of the filter mat.
After 2 days everything was dry and I was able to install the filter in the aquarium.
Magnets were held against the glass and the filter held bombproof.
Important note from customer:
The magnets should be waterproof for use in wet environments.
Depending on the size of the filter, the adhesive force of the magnets should be taken into account.
The glass thickness must always be taken into account.

The topic of today's magnet application is: pin board magnets as playing figures.
Our customer has recreated a classic game "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" in a stable and durable way at home. Our magnets were used as play figures.
Own creation game "LUDO"
These materials and magnets were used to create the game board::
Wooden board (square)
Saw
Glaze
Sheet metal (also square, approx. 5 cm smaller than the board)
Metal drill and milling cutter
Sandpaper
Felt
Glue
Screws and screwdrivers
Yellow, red, blue, green and white colors for the game board
Lacquer or paint in gold and silver for the dice
Cubes
White pencil for the points on the dice
Metal jars for storing the cubes
Pin board magnets 4 x each small cone magnet Ø 12 mm with neodymium - holds 1.6 kg - blue, small cone magnet Ø 12 mm with neodymium - holds 1.6 kg - red, small cone magnet Ø 12 mm with neodymium - holds 1.6 kg - yellow , small cone magnet Ø 12 mm with neodymium - holds 1.6 kg - green
Their adhesive force of 1.6 kg per cone magnet is just right for this application.
Instructions for making the game board:
Saw the wooden board to the desired size, treat with glaze and allow to dry
Mill out the required holes for the playing figures along the metal sheet.
Use the drill to drill a hole for fixing in each corner of the sheet metal.
Mill out arrows in the direction of travel of the playing field at the respective starting point.
If necessary, work on sharp edges with a little sandpaper.
Fix the finished metal sheet to the wooden board with the screws.
Use the respective colors red, yellow, white, blue and green to paint the milled holes in the appropriate color.
Pinboard magnets as game pieces
Apply the felt to the underside of the magnetic pins with an adhesive - this reduces the adhesive force of the small but powerful magnets. This does not affect their function.
Paint the cubes with gold and silver paint or varnish - then let them dry.
Use a white pencil to draw the corresponding number on each of the dice.
Paint metal boxes in the colors gold and silver and let them dry well - these are used to store the corresponding dice.
Our office magnets are not only suitable for the refrigerator, pin board, blackboard, memo board or whiteboard, but also for the creative ideas of our customers.
Wow! With this unique game, childhood memories are brought to life! We hope you enjoy playing!
Magnetic metal removal from ashes
Our customer describes two ways in which he succeeded in removing metal magnetically from the ashes.
This is usually a very dirty and time-consuming undertaking.
Magnetic metal removal from ashes
The following tools were used:
1 x Power eyelet magnet Ø 80 mm NEODYM - nickel - holds 250 kg
2 containers (small buckets) - made of plastic
1 container for the metal scrap
1 container for the magnet
The customer did the following:
Application number 1:
Removing metal (screws, nails, wire, ...) from the ashes of a campfire
Let the ash cool down long enough
Put the magnet in a non-metallic container
Move this magnet over the ashes or pull it through the ashes
Hold first container over second container. Remove the magnet upwards. Metal scrap falls into the collecting container
Repeat the process as often as required until all metal residues have been removed
Please note the following:
- Magnet should not have direct contact with the material to be cleaned
- The holding force of the magnet is very high
- Metallic objects are sometimes difficult to remove
- The ashes would also pollute the magnet. The 2 containers keep it nice and clean
What to Avoid:
- Bruising of the fingers.
Tidying up in the garage or in the workshop
Application number 2:
Waste separation / tidying up in the garage / workshop:
Removing small metal parts such as screws, nails and nuts
Metal chips from milling or drilling
Put the magnet in a non-metallic container
Let this circle over the floor / area
Hold first container over second container. Remove the magnet upwards. Metal scrap falls into the collecting container
Repeat the process as often as required until all metal residues have been removed
What to Avoid:
- There is more metal and machines in the workshop and garage, a weaker magnet is sufficient.
- The risk of crushing is slightly reduced by using a weaker magnet.
- Sticking to other objects is also reduced by using a weaker magnet.
Spoke magnet on bike
The spoke magnet on a bike was replaced by our customer by one of our magnets to prevent possible damage.
High-quality wheels with knife spokes are often installed on premium racing bikes and MTBs.
The conventional "spoke magnets" usually have to be clamped with a screw, which is not good for the filigree knife spokes - damage is the result.
These are not strong enough either - the distance to the transmitter is often only 1 to 2 mm, which means that grinding noises occur if the transmitter is bumped and moves out of its original position.
The solution - tried out successfully by me.
Spoke magnet on bike
A discmagnet Ø 6.0 x 2.0 mm N45 EPOXY - holds 700 gr. was used for this application. (For applications in a dry environment)
The use of the magnet brought the following advantages:
The disc magnet is so strong that the distance to the transmitter can be 10 mm (!) and more
With a power superglue the magnet was simply attached- this was glued directly to the knife spoke
No damage to the knife spoke
The lightest "alternative" for racing bikes and mountain bikes

In today's post we present a magnetic installation for a track lighting system.
I used about 60 hook magnets with the diameter of 32mm ferrite.
My plan: to install an extensive track lighting system on the ceiling.
No holes should be drilled in the ceiling. Using magnets seemed like the right idea in this case.
The white lacquered steel girders seemed ideal to be attached with the help of magnets.
Out of wire I made small hooks which grabbed into the holder of the rails. These can be shaped according to your taste.
I used a guide line to align the magnets on the ceiling.
In the end I attached strip by strip to the ceiling and put them together.
Magnetic installation for track lighting system
Hookmagnets for magnetic installation of lighting system
I was very surprised by the adhesive force of the individual magnets. These little hook magnets hold their promise.
A useful tip from our customer:
What should you watch out for?
Layers of lacquer under the magnets have a significant impact on the load-bearing capacity.
A layer of lacquer is sufficient where you want to attach your magnets.
Magnets should not be moved afterwards, this will damage the paintwork.
We look forward to sharing the successfully implemented project with you.
This magnet application is very impressive.
Many thanks to our customer for sending it in!
Rescuing a cow's foot from a cistern
Today we are going to introduce you to an extraordinary but very effective way on how rescuing a cow's foot from a cistern has taken place.
While he was working on a rainwater cistern in his garden, our customer's cow foot fell in it and he saved it magnetically.
In our garden there is a rainwater cistern hidden under a conifer.
I lifted the manhole cover with a “cow foot” and a short time later the cow foot accidentally “fell into the well”.
The cistern is full of water, what could I do?
Rescuing a cow's foot from a cistern with a magnet
I ordered a cube magnet 15.0 x 15.0 x 15.0 mm N44 nickel - holds 17 kg. I attached it to an iron lid.
The iron lid was tied to a rope. I let this down and it took about 2 minutes until it clicked and the cow's foot was attached to the magnet.
So I could safely recover the cow's foot with little effort. Not only was it successful, it was really fun.
In the twinkling of an eye
A very helpful and useful magnet application that not only impressed our customers. It is always interesting to see what our products are used for.
Thank you for submitting!
Magnetic window decoration
With this great magnet application you remain flexible when decorating your windows; Magnetic window decoration is the topic today.
Our customer and his wife don't like curtains in your house. She likes to decorate the windows. In order to enable her to decorate the window, the husband decided to create a magnetic version for her. Which, of course, he also succeeded in using our products.
Magnetic window decoration
Our customer used the following procedure:
He has attached a flat iron with 5-6 countersunk screws over the entire width of the window for fastening.
Holes where drilled in a flat iron, which he then sunked in.
In order to match the color of the interior, he covered them with decorative film in a wooden look.
The flat iron is practically invisible through this foil and is hardly noticeable.
A corresponding number of hook magnets 20 mm were magnetically attached to the flat iron.
The hooks are decorated.
We achieved flexibility by using the magnets. We can redecorate at will at any time.
A simple and great idea with which you can decorate your windows flexibly and individually.
There are no limits to your creativity. You can decorate your windows for Christmas, spring, autumn or Halloween.
With a simple fishing line, your decorative items are quickly tied and hung up.

Discmagnet Ø 12.0 x 8.0 mm N45 Nickel - holds 5.5 kg
Cubemagnet 5.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 N42 gold - holds 1.5 kg
Ringmagnet Ø 12.0 x 4.0 x 6.0 mm N50 Nickel - holds 3.2 kg
The development of an engine summarized in pictures:
MENDOCINO MOTOR - A COMPLETE SUCCESS!
After I had everything set up, I put the magnets in and tested the motor.
The engine works perfectly!
Two more engines have already been ordered.
In this video you can see my self-made engine in operation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQYcxwFP2oY
It is very remarkable how much time, work and patience is invested in such projects. Such work requires a great deal of sensitivity and instinct.
Technical know-how and the necessary tools are also required here. Building a motor yourself is not easy. However, it is very praiseworthy when the motor actually works afterwards - which is a success for our customer. Great!
We like to see this kind of do-it-yourself videos at any time and thank our customer for sending us this great magnet application.
We wish you continued fun and success with the implementation of your engine orders.
Thank you very much!
Magnetic attachment for light hose
In today's magnet application, we present you the magnetic attachment for light hose.
Our customer was in possession of a light hose that he wanted to attach to the frame of the awning. In order not to have to drill holes in the linkage, he decided to use the magnetic attachment.
Magnetic attachment for light hose
Rubberized magnet systems with a diameter of 43 mm were used to attach the light hose.
Plastic washers and screwable clips were included in the hose packaging as accessories.
These accessory parts were put together by our customer as follows:
The white plastic discs were placed onto the magnets
Then these two parts were screwed together with the help of the clip
After the individual parts had been screwed together, the light hose was passed through the brackets
The finished product was attached to the frame - magnetically!
The magnets are barely visible and the awning can be operated and used as usual.
Round / rectangular neodymium magnet system with rubber coating and internal thread. The rubber coating made of Santoprene on the adhesive surface protects the metallic adhesive base from scratches and increases the sliding force.
Available in 5 different diameters from Ø 22 mm to Ø 88 mm (1.3 kg to 55 kg) and rectangular 43 x 31 mm (10.5 kg - 14.6 kg)
Magnetic wall in the children's room
Our ustomer wanted to remain flexible when decoration the children's room and therfore createn a magnetic wall.
We wanted the classic - a magnetic wall in the children's room!
The wall should be used to hang up posters and cards.
Unfortunately, when creating the magnetic wall , our customers realized that not everything is trivial.
I wanted to use the whole surface and make magnetic, but cut out 30 cm all around for optical and practical reasons.
Magnetic wall in the children's room
It should look nicely symmetrical. A TV bench should be in front of the wall. Thas is why, that the lower part could not be used.
The children would not be able reach above the door themselves.
Creation of the Magnetic wall
For the first attempt we used 2.5 l of magnetic paint and then reordered another 500 ml for the small area.
The paint was easy to work with with simple rollers.
We painted in the summer heat and strictly followed the instructions for the large area and only made 2 paints per day.
Unfortunately, our can lid was a bit warped because we had trouble opening it.
As a result, the color on the 2nd day was similar to pastes and difficult to apply.
That's why I made the small area with 3 coats in one day and it dried very quickly at temperatures above 30 ° C and was so much easier to work with.
Magnetic refueling aid - AdBlue
December 22, 2020
Blog
| Applications in the company
| Magnet applications
| Attachment with magnets
Today we received a slightly different but for our customer a very profitable application; Magnetic refueling aid - AdBlue.
I need around 150 liters of AdBlue for my tractor on my farm every year.
An own 200 liter barrel with a special pump is too expensive and time-consuming for me (I have my own gas station for diesel).
Magnetic refueling aid - AdBlue
That's why I initially bought the AdBlue in 10 liter canisters, but the price / liter is not cheap (Normal prices range between 1.00 € and 1.50 € / l .).
At the next gas station with an AdBlue filling point for trucks, the urea solution costs an inexpensive € 0.49 / l.
However, the gas station is 5 km away, this is a bit too far away and too time-consuming for my needs.
Because tons of empty 10 liter AdBlue canisters would accumulate over the years, I came up with the idea of bringing the AdBlue home with these cans from the gas station.
However, the first time we tried to refuel, we were disappointed:
The filling nozzle switched off constantly, filling was only possible extremely slowly and with great feeling.
I researched the reason for this on the Internet:
A magnet is built into the blue colored filler neck of the AdBlue tanks of most vehicles (at least in the trucks and tractors; that "unlocks" the nozzle for an unhindered flow.
(I don't know if that is on is the case at all gas stations, at least at mine).
Of course, this magnet is missing when filling ordinary plastic canisters, which is what caused my problem.
In the course of this Internet research, I came across adapters that you slide over the front end of the AdBlue fuel nozzle.
A magnet is built into the adapter, which "simulates" an AdBlue filler neck for the nozzle and thus releases it.
This adapter should cost at least € 25 on the Internet. For me, the € 25 are to much.
(But would still pay off quickly with the cheap AdBlue gas station price - see calculation at the bottom).
So I finally got the idea to get a ring magnet that should work like this adapter:
By putting it over the front nozzle, it should activate it.
It has become a ferrite ring magnet with these dimensions: 40.0 mm outside diameter x 20.0 mm inside diameter x 10.0 mm height.
(for around € 0.50 from the magnet shop)
Of course, the inside diameter is especially important, because according to ADAC, AdBlue filler necks are 19.75 mm in diameter.
The outside diameter and height of the magnet are probably less important.
I was curious about the first tank attempt with the magnet.
Simply slide it over the front third of the nozzle and lo and behold:
Filling worked without any problems, the gun released a good flow rate!
My 10 liter canisters were filled quickly.
Magnetic refueling aid - AdBlue
The only small restriction:
You have to find the right spot for the magnet & hold it in place with the other hand. This prevents that the magnet doesn't slip into the canister
- Unfortunately, the magnet does not “adhere” to the nozzle.
However, the correct position is clearly noticeable by a slight click in the nozzle. This happens, when the mechanism inside recognizes the magnet.
Conclusion:
Since I bought the magnet, I have been able to refuel my tractor and my VW T6 flatbed, comfortably at home with inexpensive AdBlue.
While I had to spend around 150 € / year with my annual consumption of around 150 liters of AdBlue and a price of (already "cheap") 1 € / l, now with a liter price of 0.49 € it is only around 75 € , so half.
The magnet for € 0.50 (excluding shipping costs) saves me around € 75 a year.
Addendum from another customer:
However, I did not succeed in unlocking the car fuel nozzle. A little later I went back to try the truck nozzle.
Now here comes the solution:
It only works on the big truck fuel nozzle! But perfect on this one.

After ordering magnets in our shop, our customers wanted to tell us about their DIY - attaching the digits of a wall clock.
We built a large wall clock (approx. 90 cm in diameter) and attached the digits with magnets.
We needed 13 neodymium pot magnets with a diameter of 10.0 x 4.5 mm (2.5 kg). These were pressed into the wood.
Attaching the digits of a wall clock - DIY
Our customers used a wooden base for this. They created color accents by using black pointers, digits and frame.
The pointers and digits of the clock were cut and grounded out of metal.
Pressing the pot magnets into the wall clock base creates a magnetic force of attraction that reliably holds the digits and pointers in place.
A very elegant DIY wall clock was created here with simple means and craftsmanship.
There are no limits to the visual design of your own clock. Let your creativity run free and create a real eye-catcher in your home, just like our customers have done.
Thank you for your creative magnet application - we are very excited about it!
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Here you will also find pot magnets with neodymium. You achieve a higher adhesive force with the same size with this version.
We also have the weaker version of the ferrite pot magnets in our range.
Special feature:
Due to the lack of a hole (mounting option), these pot magnets are often glued into suitable holes. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C

Our customer and her daughter had a very creative and original idea, labeled magnetic signs.
With the help of our magnets and some additional materials, they conjured up unique and individual signs.
Required materials and tools:
Blackboard varnish and brush
Chalk
Soldering iron for pyrography or laser
Disc magnets Ø 10.0 x 2.0 mm N35 nickel - holds 1 kg
Wooden board and panel
Glue for magnets
For the design they proceeded as follows:
At the beginning, the boards and panelwere cut to the desired size
Then they started to decorate them as they liked. Blackboard lacquer was used to create a writable surface on the wooden boards.
The laser were used to write on the boards or to create drawings on them.
The disc magnets were worked into the back of the small boards and on the front of the panel.
It is important to pay attention to the polarity of the respective magnets! This can lead to unwanted rejection!
After processing the boards and the panel, the individually created signs can be attached to the large panel.

Would you like a beer? Sure, but where has the opener gone so that I can open my beer? Well here, at the bar table! I built a Bottle opener for bar tables :-)
Creative and practical bottle opener for bar tables
Description of the customer:
The opener is clamped to a high table (or similar attachment).
A wall bottle opener is screwed onto the front, and in the middle below is the Ferrite pot magnet Ø 50.0 x 10.0mm, countersunk hole holds 18 kg , which is hidden behind a laminated picture.
As soon as the bottle cap loosens from the bottle, it (and many more) stick to the hidden magnet. The pictures can be designed individually :-)
Thank you for sending in this great and creative magnet application. "Cheers!"

This magnet application is not only something for the eye, but also represents a very practical gadget in your own home. A wardrobe with a magnetic key rack.
Easy creation and assembly of the Wardrobe with a magnetic key rack
The customer used these products to help:
Discmagnets Ø 12.0 x 12.0 mm N42 nickel
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization due to the neodymium-iron-boron used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium discmagnets. The range of possible applications for the super magnets is huge. Most of our neodymium discmagnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic discs are diametrically magnetized, recognizable by the extra picture in the product picture.
If you are looking for weaker and cheaper discmagnets, you will find them among the ferrite magnetic discs.
In principle, all you have to do is drill a hole in the key board from behind and glue the magnet in place.
To ensure that the magnetic force is sufficient, the distance between the key and the magnet should not be more than 1 - 1.5 mm.
So that the wood does not break, the remaining material thickness should not be too small.
With conventional drills, the tip of the drill is through before the hole is sufficiently deep.
A router can be used to achieve a completely flat drill base.
To do this, a hole is drilled with a Forstner bit, leaving a few millimeters of material so that the tip does not penetrate the wood.
Then the exact drill hole depth is worked out with the router with copying sleeve.

Today we introduce you to a unique and very original magnet application. Our customer and his friends meet regularly to maintain analog games. His idea was to build a table-top game table with the help of our products.
Table-top game table
1. Remark
As you can see in the pictures, the table is still in the construction phase.
2. Background
About three years ago I joined four other people to form a regional group that meets regularly every four to six weeks to maintain analogue gaming. In particular, the Fantasy TableTop "The Descent - Journey into the Darkness - 2nd Edition" is on our agenda. In this course, four of the five of us compete as one hero of a hero group each, who roam dungeons (walls, caves, plains) to save the world from evil, which manifests itself in the form of monsters, the fifth from our group be played - the overlord.
3. Motivation
Over the three years, gaming has always been shaped by further development. In this case, not only the characters in the game are meant. The game itself, the handling, the optics, the accessories and much more. So I got the idea to build a gaming table, adapted to our special requirement profile for our Descent game round. The result should improve the gaming experience. The approach was initially to build walls that demarcate the respective playing field and give a more "realistic" impression. Special features in the area, in particular depressions for water, lava and “poisonous broth”, should come into their own. Special rules apply to these fields. They should be easily recognizable.
The aim of this game is to:
The gaming table should make it possible to visualize “depth effects” for water, lava and “poisonous broth”. “Levels” must be created for normal ground and for the lower terrain.
The depth effects for water, lava and “poisonous broth” should be optically upgraded. These should also be illuminated.
The walls, which will later serve as barricades, not only have to look good. These should also be exactly in the correct size ratio and hold this position. Just imagine it is the turn of the fictional hero “Magnetus” to bend over the gaming table so that he can see all the fields on the game board - including those behind the plastic walls. He assesses the situation. This turns out to be hopeless and dangerous. He overturns the wall or drives it crazy. An obligatory break for repairs must be made.
Table-top game table with magnetic dungeon fixation and flexible, partial background lighting
The basis is an old coffee table
Saw a hole of the desired size in the table
Create the base frame for the substructure box
Insert bottom for box
Saw holes in the floor for plexiglass inserts
Refurbish the table surface
Briefly to the walls:
The basis is rigid foam material from the hardware store
Creation of 900 stones by cutting with a hot wire cutter and structuring with aluminum foil dumplings
Gluing stone walls in the desired grid dimensions
Prime, drybrush twice and "wash" the walls for the colored design
In detail about the magnet applications on the table-top game table:
Box bottom:
Product used: Iron foil, ferrous foil, self-adhesive, magnetic, width 615 mm, rolled goods
After completion of the table, the floor in the box was completely covered with iron foil.
So that the depth effects can be partially and flexibly displayed differently for each scenario, “puzzle inserts” made of hard foam were created in the area of the Plexiglas inserts in the grid dimensions of the real playing fields.
Cover the puzzle inserts with iron foil. The rigid foam including the iron foil should apply a specific amount of height to the plexiglass. The top edge of the table floor should be the same height as the puzzle inserts.
A printed game board can now be laid flat on the surface.
Walls:
Products used: Rod magnets Ø 3.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 350 g and disc magnets Ø 6.0 x 2.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 700 g
Blind holes were created in the underside of the finished walls.
Shish kebab skewer (3mm diameter) or a drill (6mm).
Fill these holes with wood glue
Push the magnets into the holes until they are flush with the floor.
The excess wood glue that had oozed out was simply removed with a kitchen roll.
Illumination of the underground:
Product used: Ring magnet Ø 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore N-pole
Flat connectors were mounted in a row on the underside of the bottom of the box, which serve as a magnetic holder for the flexibly positionable LED strips.
Beech strips are cut to the required length for the strips.
Cut the LED strip to the required length and number.
Now glue these parts to the bar and connect them again electrically.
The magnets are mounted at the ends of the strips.
Helpful tips for processing the magnetic products:
Iron foil:
The pieces of iron foil were heated with a conventional hair dryer in order to take the tension out of the foil, which might have been caused by the curling. At the same time, the aim was to improve the adhesion of the film. This was reinforced by firmly pressing the film. There should be no air bubbles under the film.
Magnets:
The magnets were glued with conventional wood glue. Let the glue harden completely. The function of the glued-in magnets can now be tested. The magnets could stick to the iron foil and pull out of the wall.
An amazing and unique project!

Our magnets also find a helpful and useful task in our customer's sewing room, a cutting aid.Our customer used the following magnets to create her application:
Rod magnet Ø 5.0 x 15.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 1 kg, Rod magnet Ø 5.0 x 10.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 950 g, Rod magnet Ø 5.0 x 7.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 800 g
The different lengths of the rods change the distance during cutting.
Easy creation of the Gadget
The usage is very simple:
Simply let the magnet stick to the scissors. Due to the magnetic attraction of the rod, it adheres reliably. This can now be used as a spacer.The result is a permanently constant distance, which prevents a crooked cut.
As you can see in the video below; it is not only simple to create this gadget, but also very simple to use it! No more ugly cut thanks to this little helper!
The advantage of our neodymium rodmagnets is their easy handling. Thanks to their elongated shape, they are easy to grip. They can therefore be used on pin boards as well. By stringing together individual magnets, you can create neodymium rodmagnets of any length - whether you prefer large rodmagnets or small rodmagnets. Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). However, some designs are magnetized diametrically (through the diameter). In this category we offer you high-quality neodymium rodmagnets in different sizes, which you can buy from us at reasonable prices!

Today we would like to introduce you to a very impressive magnet application; Solar motor with floating rotor made of wood
There is no practical application for this engine. It is a real eye-catcher on the window sill and always amazes guests.
Solar motor with floating rotor made of wood
Floating rotor
To make the rotor levitate, 4 magnets in the stator and at least 2 magnets on the shaft are required.I used 4 disc magnets Ø 20 x 10 mm (SM-20x10-N) for the stator and 2 x 2 ring magnets Ø 18 x 10 x 4 (RM-18x10x04-N) for the rotor.To make the rotor float, the magnets must be arranged according to the drawing.In order to protect the rotor from swinging, a degree of freedom must be restricted. This was done by inserting a ballpoint pen refill.By supporting the ball on the rear pane of glass, an illusion is created. This represents a completely free-floating rotor.
Rotation of the rotor (motor operation)
Here the law of the Lorentz force comes into play. The force that a current-carrying conductor (or coil) experiences in a magnetic field. For this purpose, 4 coils made of enamelled copper wire were wound onto the coil carrier below the solar cells of the rotor.Each coil is electrically connected to 2 solar cells that are offset by 180 °. When light falls, current flows continuously through the coil. The solar cell of the coil faces the light source.The field magnets are located below the rotor in the center of the stator. Here I would have used 4 block magnets QM-20x20x03-N, but had older, somewhat larger block magnets from another project in stock, so I used them.The current in the coils in connection with the field of the block magnets generates the Lorentz force, which in turn generates a torque on the rotor. When light falls on the solar cells, the rotor turns continuously.Material list:
Ring magnets RM-18x10x04-N 4 pieces
Disc magnets SM-20x10-N 4 pieces
Block magnets QM-20x20x03-N 4 pieces
8 solar cells 0.5 V / 150 mA - with solder connection (item number: 695-SM150L from EDUNIKUM)
60 g enamelled copper wire Ø 0.25 mm
Plywood 4 - 5 mm thick
Solid wood 18.5 - 19 mm thick
Round wood Ø 10 mm
Glass pane approx. 70 x 80 mm 2, approx. 2 mm thick (in this case, from an old picture frame)
Refill of a ballpoint pen
Two-component adhesive

In our video we show you a simple and quick method to magnetize & demagnetize tools.
Magnetize and demagnetize tools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCFub3kI6iI
Simple handling:
> For magnetizing - Guide the tool slowly through the "+ opening" to prevent the screw from falling or to ensure a secure hold when working overhead.
> To demagnetize - Slowly guide the tool through the "opening" to be able to work with non-magnetic tools in the electronics area, for example.
A practical tool that should not be missing in any workshop and thanks to its minimal size it fits in every drawer! It doesn't matter whether it's assembling small objects such as watches or working overhead: if the screws or small elements aren't attached correctly or are attached too much to the tools, then the frustration is great.
With a magnetizer & demagnetizer from our online shop, this can no longer happen to you!
Housing made of unbreakable plastic
Whether it is assembling small-scale items such as clocks or working overhead. If the screws or small items do not hang properly or overly on the tools, then the frustration becomes great. With a magnetizer & demagnetizer from our online shop, this cannot happen to you anymore!
Of course you can also find the magnetizer in our shop ;-)

Our customer designed and created the following project himself. A unique and individual magnet application; an invisible floating company logo.
Invisible floating company logo
To implement his project, he used the following materials:
3 x neodymium pot magnet Ø 42.0 x 9.0 mm with countersunk hole - holds 55 kg and each has a suitable screw, washer and nut.
The following pictures illustrate the implementation of this project in detail.
With the help of these few materials, the customer successfully designed this attachment for his company logo. Which now floats "invisibly" in front of a curtain.
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The magnet has a central hole with a counter bore. This allows the holding magnet to be securely screwed to the wall / ceiling using a countersunk screw. Metallic counterparts then adhere magnetically to this pot magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry. Also at trade fairs. The strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.

An admittedly somewhat unusual application was sent to us by our customer: Cosplay costume with magnets
She used our magnets for her project, which she was working on until recently.
Cosplay costume with magnets
The word cosplay is made up of costume and play. The so-called cosplayers spend a lot of time watching anime, reading manga or comics and following various films and series on television and cinema. They are fans of various fictional characters and imitate them with the help of costumes, wigs and make-up. Some materials, tools and a lot of sweat, tears and blood come together. A cosplay is brought to life not least by the wearer and is best presented at a convention or a photo shoot.
Our customer decided to cosplay "Loki" from the films Thor from the Marvel universe. Loki wears similar gold plates on his tunic.
To help, the customer took 50 self-adhesive metal plates 15 x 15 x 0.5 mm with 3M adhesive. These were colored with gold lacquer spray and left to dry.
After drying, she attached the colored metal discs to the synthetic leather. For this she also used a few drops of superglue, which hold the gold discs firmly in place.

Our customers needed a small table in their VW camper that they can use both inside and outside. Unfortunately, there was no bracket for such a table in the camper. But between a cupboard and the tailgate in the camper they still found some space that you could use for safe and space-saving stowage.
Table for the camper
They used the following materials for your project:
4 x metal discs Ø 27 mm with hole and countersink - nickel
3 x neodymium pot magnet Ø 25.0 x 8.0 mm with countersunk hole holds 17 kg
1 matching table, in this case with the dimensions W x D x H 73 x 51 x 70 cm
matching screws
Felt pad to protect against friction
Four metal discs were screwed onto the cabinet, and we attached three neodymium pot magnets to the underside of the table on 2 wooden discs. The difficulty was that the MFD panel of the table (medium fiber density) with 15 mm thickness does not hold the screws (M4) particularly well. The cabinet which also has a 15 mm thickness, is made of more stable plywood. On the other hand, the load on the magnets is not particularly high, even when the table is pulled off. And three magnets, each with a holding force of 17 kg, sufficiently secure the table in a vertical position (the fourth metal disc on the cabinet is only used for symmetrical decoration). Felt pads were glued onto the table in a few places to prevent rubbing. The table can now be easily pulled upwards - even with the tailgate closed from the inside.
This practical holder for a table in a VW camper was created so easily and quickly.

A solution was needed to easily attach an awning with a 2 meter long piping rail to the roof of a transporter without drilling or gluing - Piping rail for attaching awning.
Rail for attaching awing:
5 x neodymium bar 80 x 13 x 5 mm with countersunk and holes - 24 kg
Tesa window rubber seal
He drilled holes in the piping rail in order to screw the neodymium bars into them. The rubber seal was attached to the opposite side of the welt rail. This protects the paintwork of the van from possible damage.
Our customer succeeded in his project quickly and easily. A reliable attachment option for the awning on his transporter was created in no time at all.
Optimal use of the adhesive force by installing the neodymium magnet in an elongated U-profile.
With a length of only 80 mm and a height of 5 mm, you get a small magnet system with an adhesive force of approx. 24 kg.
The nickel-plated U-profile protects the strong NdFeB magnet from damage and increases / bundles the adhesive force on one side.
This means that this flat bar magnet is only magnetic on the open side with the countersunk holes!

Our customer let her creativity run wild and staged simple, white memo board magnets in a slightly colored setting. She designed these colorful art magnets for her home.
In the twinkling of an eye, the customer conjured up these charming colorful unique items!
For the implementation of her unique pieces you needed the following materials:
Memo magnets Ø 30 x 8 mm FERRITE - white
Acrylic paint residue from a pallet (dried)
fast curing adhesive
Wooden spatula or something similar to distribute the glue
a small pair of scissors with curved blades (nail scissors)
a circular template if necessary
She succeeded in designing the colorful art magnets with the following simple steps:
Select the dried paint residue you want to use and cut it out. The dimensions of the leftover paint should be slightly larger than the diameter of the magnet.
Apply glue to the top of the magnet and spread it thinly to the edge with the wooden spatula.
After that apply the paint residue and press firmly for a few seconds onto the memo magnets.
Let the glue dry thoroughly.
Turn the magnets on their back and cut off the protruding edges of the paint residues.

Which parent doesn't know? You want safe and age-appropriate magnetic building blocks for your children, but due to the small particles in the commercially available items, these are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. The particles represent a great danger. To avoid this danger, our customer decided to make "magnetic building blocks" for his son himself.
Magnetic building blocks
Magnets fascinate even the smallest of us. As small, swallowable parts, however, they are not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
So I made “magical building blocks” for my son so that he can get his first experience with magnets in a playful way, even as a toddler.
The risk of injury through magnets is very high and not immediately recognizable, especially for small children.
Our disc magnets Ø 15.0 x 15.0 mm N45 nickel form the basis for the magnetic building blocks.
The customer described his application as follows:
First he saw cubes of various sizes from a beech wood strip (square).
The large cubes have an edge length of 35 mm and the small ones 23 mm. The diagonal of these cubes is 32.5 mm.
All sizes corresponds to the DIN EN 71 standard for toys for children under 3 years of age.
Holes for the magnets were drilled in the middle of the cubes with a 15 mm wood drill.
The depth is 25 mm for the large and 22 mm for the small cubes. With these dimensions, the magnets are placed in the middle of the cube.
Cones with a minimum diameter of 15 mm were turned and shortened from a beechwood stick.
After inserting the magnets into the cubes, these pegs are slightly longer than the remaining hole.
He punched these pegs into the corresponding holes and glued them with some glue to be on the safe side.
The protrusion and the edges were sanded clean.
Absolutely child-safe magnetic building blocks!
Due to the strength of the magnets, even through the large wooden cubes, they are still strong enough so that the effect is shown in a magical way for children.
With the small cubes, the attraction is stronger, so that you can play wonderfully with them on a glass table, for example, on which a magnet can be moved through the plate while hanging or lying down.
In addition, the magical building blocks can be painted in different colors as desired. However, it is important to use a child-friendly paint, as children like to put their toys in their mouths.

Our customer found his surface-heating element in his home too "boring", so he came up with the idea to spice it up and decided to create a new design for a surface-heating element with a motif foil.
Design for a surface-heating element
He picked up these two materials:
2 meter of Magnetic foil white, width 615 x 0.6 mm
Door sticker with motif
How just a little thing can make everything appear in a new light!
The design for a surface heating-element in next to no time:
Attach magnetic foil in the appropriate dimensions and foil it. Looks great and can be removed or attached in 2 seconds.
We found that his idea gives his home instantly a new look and are very pleased to share this application idea with you.
Of ourse this idea can be also applied to other magnetic objects, just give it a try yourself!

On a Bruder mini excavator, the shovel arm could no longer be locked in the upper position. The lock was unfortunately worn out. The defective shovel arm should not be a reason to slow down the fun of our little excavator friend. A solution was needed to extend the life of the small excavator.
Our customer decided to repair the toy excavator with the help of our magnets.
Repairing a toy excavator
He managed to repair it with the following products:
1 x block magnet 6.0 x 4.0 x 2.0 mm N44H nickel
1 x disc magnet Ø 6.0 x 2.0 mm N45 nickel
He took these steps for the repair:
The customer drilled a small hole in the inside of the lower excavator arm. The small disc magnet was then inserted into this hole.
He glued the block magnet to the opposite side so that the magnets attract each other.
Now the excavator arm can be fixed in its upper rest position with the help of the magnets. The use of magnets has no negative impact on the other functions of the excavator.
Now the small excavator is as good as new and is available again for further excavation work in the children's room.
We wish the little excavator driver a lot of fun and joy with his excavator projects.

In his brand new car, the interior ceiling had to be removed and reassembled. The pre-assembled plastic clips were no longer usable after removal. Our customer decided to mount the roof magnetically.
The customer used the following materials for his project:
Ring magnets Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north
Disc magnets Ø 10.0 x 2.0 mm N35 Nickel - holds 1 kg
Cavity dowel 6 mm and matching washer
Glue
Magnetic assembly of the vehicle roof
The customer describes his project as follows:
Replacement clips are outrageously expensive! And, as well known, the need makes people inventive!
The curtains, magnetic flashlight and cell phone are all supposed to be attached to the vehicle from the inside. Also the magnetic flashlight does not stick well and the cell phone is now also equipped with a magnetic back. Our decision fell on magnets!
Drilling is prohibited on a new car. Commercially available cavity dowels were inserted into the holes and the ceiling was screwed together with wood screws and the ring magnets.
For bigger holes, I would have used blind nuts with a plastic coating.
Small disc magnets look very good as a cover for the screw heads. These also loosely hold the fabric of the curtain. The disc magnets were sewn in.
The screw heads were covered with self-adhesive silver foil.
This application is very handy anytime! Everything is stowed within reach:
Flashlight and the glasses case
Keys and the cell phone
Lighter and the closed pocket knife
The curtains
Additionally, the variation looks a lot better than the plastic clips.
Warning: Please do not hang up any sharp or heavy objects!

Side awnings & floor-protection for motorhome
The following magnets were used to attach them:
20 x Memo magnets large Ø 36 x 8 mm NEODYMIUM (high adhesive force) - holds 3.5 kg
10 x Memo magnets 55 x 22.5 x 8.5 mm NEODYMIUM - holds 4.8 kg
To avoid damage to your paint by attaching the magnets, they should not be attached directly.
As you can see in the pictures, we have attached the magnets to the inside of the fabric parts of the vehicle.
When ordering, we paid attention to the weight of what the individual magnets have for holding power.
We offer the neodymium magnet glued in the plastic housing in a large selection of colors and sizes. In general, the larger the size, the higher the adhesive force. In contrast to our office magnets with ferrite insert, these magnets have a high adhesive force thanks to the neodymium magnets used. This magnet is used wherever a normal ferrite magnet is no longer sufficient. You need these magnets with your logo or advertising? Then please contact us.

In order to provide more light in his workshop, our customer has attached a movable under-cabinet lamp to the metal shelves without any screws using our products. In this article we will explain how he did this.
Movable under-cabinet light in the workshop
The customer used the following magnets for the implementation:
Disc magnets Ø 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 nickel
Neodymium deep pot magnet Ø 13 x 22 mm with thread M5x8
The customer got an under-cabinet light from the hardware store, which was equipped with its own plastic brackets. These brackets were widened with a 4-hole drill. A threaded deep pot magnet was screwed into the plastic holders. The thread of the magnet has been completely removed. The thread was held in the magnet with a suitable Allen key and screwed to the plastic holder at the same time. This makes it very easy to attach the under-cabinet light below a shelf. Through the use of magnets, this construction holds reliably and can be moved and placed freely as desired.
As a bonus, the customer also installed a light sensor, which he attached to the metal shelf using the disc magnets mentioned above. Its relocatable under-cabinet light is a very practical and helpful idea!

Our customer has chosen a special project for her journeyman's examination. Her unique journeyman's piece, a "jewelry mirror-cabinet" was created with the help of our products, among other things.
Thank you for the perfect magnets that I was able to use on my journeyman's piece: jewelry mirror-cabinet. The magnets are in my rotating mechanism of 6 compartments. The compartments are plugged into a full metal rod to rotate, thanks to ball bearings and rubber ring they can be rotated continuously. With the help of your magnets I was able to achieve a "snap-in" effect. To keep the door from slamming against the drawer, this effect is just the right thing.
A beautiful and unique piece of furniture Handmade jewelry mirror-cabinet
The following were used: 20 x disc magnets Ø 5.0 x 2.0 mm N40 nickel and 20 x disc magnets Ø 10.0 x 1.0 mm N35 nickel - self-adhesive
Due to the simple and practical use of the small magnets and the other materials, the customer was able to present this beautiful and unique specimen at her journeyman's examination.
Magnetic foil decoration in the round table lodge
In order to visually upgrade the round table lodge, our customer decided on a self-made magnetic foil decoration with bottle caps.
To be able to implement this idea, the customer ordered the following products from our shop:
2 meter magnetic film black, width 615 x 0.85 mm
150 disc magnets Ø 10.0 x 10.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 400 g
For the processing of the magnetic foil he needed the following tools and the following material:

Our customers have created a 3D-printed magnetic camera mount for a mobile robot. There is a depth camera at the front of a robot. This must be easy to dismantle at any time for test and transporting purposes.
3D-printed magnetic camera mount for a depth camera
The reassembly of the Realsense D435 camera, weighing only 72 grams, to the robot should not change the perspective. The camera was fixed with the help of strong magnets. For this they used block magnets 10.0 x 10.0 x 3.0 mm N45 made of nickel which were completely sufficient for this purpose. The magnets were always used in pairs in this case. The pairs have a construction-related distance of approx. 1 mm, this led to a small reduction in the adhesive force. The customers have printed a suitable holder for their depth camera with the help of a 3D printer.
To prevent the magnetic camera holder from twisting, two screw heads were screwed into a recess in the counter holder.
The angle of the camera can also be changed continuously. The camera bracket was attached to a square aluminum profile.
An original and unique gadget! Created and designed with a 3D printer! Thank you for sharing!
Magnetic stove protection
As is well known, stove button protections are used to prevent children from playing with the switches and accidentally turning them on. Since this can very quickly lead to a very dangerous situation, our customer decided to protect herself and built a magnetic stove protection. But this protection was not built to keep her children from turning the knobs, but to prevent her house tigers from turning on the stove with their little paws while they climb up onto the kitchen. Unfortunately, this has happened several times and the customer had to act real fast.
Reliable and effective protection for your home
Required material and tools:
1 plexiglass in the size 50 cm x 10 cm, thickness 3 mm
5 neodymium deep pot magnets with thread
5 nuts and 5 washers each
Drill
Wrench
Assembly Instructions:
Drill a hole in each corner of the plexiglass. In addition, another hole should be drilled in the middle in the upper area to stabilize the plexiglass
Let the magnets stick to the stainless steel front of your stove
Hold the plexiglass on the magnets and fix the protection by placing the washers and nuts on the deep pot magnets
Repeat this process for all five holes and screw tight
This magnetic protection for stove switches can be easily and problem-free removed at any time if necessary.

A magnetic bamboo picture holder for calligraphy was created by our customer with the help of our magnets. This wonderful application gives your home an individual flair.
Magnetic bamboo picture holder for calligraphy; A real eye-catcher!
In China, Japan and other East Asian countries, drawing characters with ink on rice paper is a very popular and respected art.
All you need are rice paper, Indian ink, a calligraphy paint brush and a soapstone stamp with red stamp ink to set an optical punch line.
The following material was used to create a picture holder in the Size approx. 70 x 30 cm:
4 pieces of bamboo sticks approx. 1 m long with a Ø of 10 mm
White thread length approx. 1 m
Adhesive ("super glue" based on cyanoacrylate)
8 pieces of Rod magnets Ø 3.0 x 10.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 500 g
The following tools were used for processing:
Drill
Twist drill especially for wood with a Ø of 3 mm
Vice
Precision saw
Manufacturing process:
Shortening the Sticks:
From the four pieces of bamboo, four sticks of the same length of approx. 37 cm were sawn to size. The sections should be as straight as possible and have hardly any noticeable differences in weight and diameter. Measured at a distance of 4 cm from an interface, holes were made in the next production step.
If possible, there should be no stalk knots.
Processing of the Sticks:
To find suitable drilling locations, the sticks were placed on the table and slowly rolled back and forth. This makes it easier to find suitable locations on the sticks. Mark these by scoring with the aid of the drill. The bamboo sticks were clamped in a vice before drilling. To prevent the bamboo from bursting. The use of a wood drill is recommended for this. Two holes were drilled in each stick with a distance of 4 cm. The depth is 8 mm. The magnets to be used find a stop in the bamboo stick through this depth.
Inserting the magnets:
Now the rod magnets were coated with glue and inserted into the drill holes. The magnets should be used with alternating polarization. Once south, once north pole. Only with the alternating polarity do you get four structurally identical rods, which can later be put together to form a functional picture holder.
Creation of the loop:
The thread was tied into a loop. This will later be used for suspension.
Now all necessary parts for the picture holder are ready.
Hanging of the Picture Holder:
Now the finished product can be hung up. Wrap the loop on the upper stick in a triangular shape around the magnets and clamp them together with the inserted picture between the bamboo rods. The magnets attract each other thanks to the changing polarization.
The work of art is now ready and can be hung in your desired location.

What to do with all the bottle caps after a cozy evening with friends or family? The perfect solution: a magnetic beer tree!Today we would like to introduce you to three very creative and practical beer trees that our customers have created with the help of our magnets.
Material and tools used for sample # 1:
suitable stick / branch
a wooden board
Sawdust
1 screw
screwdriver
saw
hot glue
Wood glue
Magnetic sphere / sphere magnet Ø 19.0 mm chrome N38 - holds 5.7 kg (amount as required and size of the branch)
This is how sample # 1 was created:
Saw the branch and all other wooden parts into the correct size / shape and screw them onto the wooden board
Generously spread glue on the wooden board to decorate it with sawdust and other decoration items
Use the hot glue to stick the magnets to the branch as you wish
Sample # 2 was created as follows:
Saw a small dead tree or branch in the size needed
With a suitable wood drill bit, in this case a 10 mm drill, drill three holes in the upper branches with a depth of approx. 2 cm
Glue
3 x Rod magnet Ø 10.0 x 50.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 6.5 kg, press these into the pre-drilled holes
Finally, screw on a suitable stand of your choice as a base
Last but not least, sample # 3:
A metal screw was screwed into the birch handle so that the magnetic sphere/ sphere magnet Ø 30.0 mm Nickel N40 - holds 12.9 kg by itself.
The stem was attached to a wooden disc and the "bottle cap holder" is ready
Then the strength of the magnets was tested with collected bottle caps (throwing was a lot of fun for our customer !!!)
Outdoor shelter for firewood
Our customer had an original and practical idea when he built an outdoor shelter for firewood. He integrated a place to store his fire bowl when not in use.
The original idea was to attach boards with magnets to the front. These can then be removed quickly and individually to remove the fire bowl.
Outdoor shelter for firewood
I've built a new, divided wooden shelter. The fire bowl should be stored on the left side out of sight when not in use.
Alternatively, it would have been possible to build 4 boards as a unit like a "gate to hang in", but then additional slats would have had to be screwed on.
These vertical slats would then have been visible, which would have impaired the overall appearance.
The material needed to implement his idea is as follows:
8 neodymium pot magnets Ø 16 x 5 mm with countersink (NFS-16-Z)
8 metal discs Ø 16 mm with hole and zinc countersink
16 Spax screws 2.5 x 20
Ø 2 mm drill
Ø 16 mm flat or Forstner bit
Phillips screwdriver size. 1
2 x screw clamps
Spirit level
Cordless screwdriver
Therefore, our customer decided on the following implementation:
Align the boards within the overall look with screw clamps
At the places where the magnets and metal discs will later be located, drill from the outside with a 2 mm drill through the boards into the pole
Remove the boards and screw on the metal discs as a counterpart to the magnets at the marked points on their back
Use a 16 mm flat or Forstner bit to drill the holes for the pot magnets into the poles at the marked points
Then secure the pot magnets additionally with suitable countersunk screws - Please ensure that the screw heads do not protrude over the recess of the pot magnet.
Then place the fire bowl and / or other items on the "storage surface"
"Adhere" the boards bit by bit from the bottom to the top
Enjoy a beautiful outdoor shelter for firewood with concealed and optically adapted storage space
Fly screen attachment
The fly screen attachment can often be nerve-wracking. The fly screen is constantly coming off even though the entire window frame is covered with tape or the fabric is simply broken or torn too quickly.
With this attachment for his home, our customer has put an end to this eternal cycle.
Fly screen attachment
To do this, he used the following products:
1 pack of 100 metal discs / metal plates Ø 10 mm with adhesive dots
2 meters of NEODYMIUM Power-magnetic tape 1000 x 1.5 mm self-adhesive
He proceeded as follows to create his fly screen attachment:
First, the fly screen was cut to size according to the size of the window frame
Pieces of the size about 1 cm were cut from the neodymium tape, which will later be used to fix the fly screen
The number of pieces of neodymium tape and metal plates required depends on the size of your window
The metal plates were glued to the window frame at regular intervals, from the inside and outside
For this, the protective film on the adhesive surface was removed
Before attaching the self-adhesive metal plate, please ensure that the surface is free of dirt, grease and dust. As these points could affect the adhesive strength.
The fly screen was then held against the metal plate and fixed with the pieces of neodymium tape cut to size
Due to the attraction of the neodymium tape, the fly screen stays reliably in place
The fly screen can be removed at any time!
A useful tip: By removing the white protective layer on the adhesive surface of the neodymium tape, this fly screen attachment is barely visible.

As a passionate fisher you do not only need enough rods and baits. A reliable fishing rod holder during transportation is necessary.
Fishing rod holder
Our customer was in need of a reliable and stable construction and therefore he built a fishing rod holder for the car from aluminum profiles. It was important to him that the bracket could be installed and removed from the car at any time and without any tools. A screw connection with the car was therefore out of the question.
Ultimately, the solution to this problem was our super-powerful magnet systems. Thanks to the rubber coating, these hold the construction securely in place so that nothing can slip. The rubber coating prevents scratches to the vehicle and surfaces.
Assuming a little technical skill, nothing stands in the way of a perfect solution!
The materials required for this were as follows:
4 x magnet system Ø 43 mm rubberized with socket M4 - holds 10 kg
Aluminum profiles
4 x heavy-duty metal hooks to screw on
4 x screwable clamp holder
1 x elastic band
Screws to assemble
The holder, (in this case for a Citroen Berlingo) was created as follows:
Cut aluminum profiles to the required frame size
Screw the magnet systems with rubber coating at the appropriate places on the rear wall of the car, two in the upper and two in the lower area
Assemble a frame made out of the aluminum profile rails, attach a cross brace and screw it onto the magnets
Screw the heavy-duty hooks to the right-hand side of the frame and the device clamps to the left-hand side
Make sure that the hooks and the clamps are mounted parallel to each other at the same height so that the rods can be hung in horizontally
Attach the elastic strap for extra hold
This original magnetic holder can be easily installed and removed again at any time.
Magnetic terrace shading for a glass roof
For his glass roof on his terrace, our customer wanted a reliable hold for the shading. For this he decided on our magnets and sewed an individual magnetic terrace shading for a glass roof.
Magnetic terrace shading for a glass roof
Patio shading, a fabric material is folded in at regular intervals under a glass roof
The creation and use turned out to be very easy, as the customer only needs to use each length of fabric
7 Disc magnets Ø 25.0 x 5.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 900 g and requires matching eyelets.
When using the magnets, please pay attention to the polarity of the respective discs, as undesirable repulsions can occur during processing if two identical poles meet!
For the desired hold of the fabric, the customer implemented his idea as follows:
He sewed a pocket in the bellows of the fabric panels to insert the magnets.
Then he pushed the lengths of fabric together, which thanks to the sewn-in magnets stick together reliably.
The upper edge of the folds was then sewn and provided with eyelets.
A tension rope for the fabric panels runs through these eyelets.
The aim is that the folds do not open again when pushed together so that when pulled out, the tensile force is not so great that it could cause damage to the fabric.
Thanks to his creativity, our customer has succeeded in designing an individual and unique idea.
Magnetic fastening for pleated blinds
Who does not know that, you buy a pleated blind and the plastic angles supplied are so ugly that an alternative is needed. Our customer thought the same thing and, with the help of our products he made a magnetic fastening for pleated blinds.
You can create a quick and easy magnetic fastening for pleated blinds yourself within a few minutes.
The magnetic fastenings for pleated blinds were made using the following products:
4x Neodymium pot magnet Ø 16.0 x 4.5 mm, thread M6x8, 6 kg
4x metal disc Ø 20 galvanized with double-sided adhesive tape
4 x matching nuts for thread M6 x 8
Number of desired pleated blinds
Benzene and a cloth to clean the window frames
Without the help of any tools, you can create a magnetic attachment for pleated blinds as follows:
Before gluing on the metal discs, clean the window frame at the desired location with cleaning benzene (this will make it easier to remove the panes later)
Attach the metal discs to the upper section of the window frame first, then to the lower section
Let the pot magnets adhere to the metal discs
Tension the pleated cords of the upper section downwards and attach them to the threaded pins of the pot magnets
Fix these pleated cords with a suitable nut
Useful addition for a bbq fire disc
With the help of pot magnets and hooks, our customer built himself an useful addition for a bbq fire disc.
Since he was missing a hook holder or a shelf for the grilled food during the bbq. In addition, it bothered him that the existing tools have an attachment to the disc that is in his way when barbequing.
Useful addition for a bbq fire disc
Attach an Useful addition for a bbq fire disc with strong and HEAT-resistant magnets underneath the fire disc attachments:
Our customer used the following materials for magnetic hooks and cutting boards
3 Ferrite Pot magnet Ø 32.0 x 7.0 mm, internal thread M4, 8.1 kg
3 M4 hooks
4 identical hardwood boards
Screws and brackets to assemble
2 Ferrite pot magnet Ø 57.0 x 12.0 mm, internal thread M6, 28 kg
The customer built the useful addition to a fire disc as follows:
He first installed the ferrite pot magnets with 32 Ø as hook holders, into which he screwed suitable M4 hooks.
Attention: Neodymium magnets are not suitable for this application! Please use ferrite magnets!
The max. operating temperature of neodymium magnets is too low; the magnets would lose their magnetic properties due to the heat of the disc. Ferrite magnets withstand the temperature of the fire disc.
Then he mounted them underneath of the fire disc.
For the construction of the cutting board, hardwood boards were cut to lengths of 2 cm x 50 cm and 2 cm x 30 cm.
The cutting board was assembled with screws and angles. The customer attached the ferrite pot magnts with a diameter of 57 to one side of the cutting board.
On the other side, one of the strips was attached as a finishing strip (prevents the cutting board from slipping out).
ON THIS SUB-CONSTRUCTION, BOARDS OF SIZE 40 CM X 30 CM, 40 CM X 40 CM OR ALSO 40 CM X 50 CM CAN NOW BE PLACED ON
With this self-made addition, everything can simply be attached with the help of the magnets and removed again after use. No tools necessary!
Magnetic plywood drawer dividers
Our customer needed stable and flexible drawer dividers to create more order in her kitchen. Unfortunately, many of the versions available for sale were not suitable. That's why she came up with the idea of building magnetic drawer dividers out of plywood.
Custom-fit, flexible & stable - magnetic drawer dividers made by yourself
To do so, she used the following materials:
Plywood 6mm thick, the length and width should match the drawer
possibly wood color to embellish the plywood boards
24 x cone magnets with eyelet, diameter 17 x 22 mm, NEODYM gray, (8 cone magnets per plywood board)
1 x Wall molding Ferro strip self-adhesive white 50 cm - MAULstandard
Double-sided assembly tape - extra strong
Magnetic plywood drawer dividers Assemble - this is how it works!
The drawer dividers are assembled as follows:
The plywood boards were cut to the right size at the hardware store. After cutting, those were then painted with wood paint by the customer
The magnets were attached to the back of the drawer. Since the drawer is made of metal, the magnets adhere by themselves
The front of the drawer is made of wood. For this purpose, the ferro strip was cut to size with scissors, then glued to the drawer with a small piece of mounting tape
Then the finished dividers were inserted into the drawers and arranged as desired
Quick, simple, stable and flexible, these drawers have been converted to create more space and order in the large kitchen drawers.
Magnetic marking for boulder handles
Our customer has created a creative and practical gadget with magnetic marking for boulder handles.
Magnetic marking for boulder handles
This Application was created using the following materials:
1 x neodymium disc magnet 8 mm x 2mm
1 x red ribbon (approx. 10 cm long)
1 x shrink tubing with a 12 mm diameter, each with a length of 10-15 mm
Procedure for creating the magnetic marking for boulder handles:
First, heat the red ribbon with a lighter at the ends (this prevents the ribbon from fretting)
Then glue the magnet to the ribbon with a hot glue gun
Finally, wrap the magnet with the tape, place it in the shrink tubing and heat it up.
The magnetic markings are ready and could certainly be useful for one purpose or another, outside of bouldering.
Usually, the different boulders are always climbed according to the color of the handles. But as a creative game for in between or for training, our customer sometimes plays "packing suitcases" with his team. You define your own boulder by marking it with the magnets on the handle screws.
Instructions for the game "Packing suitcases":
The first person begins with a freely chosen starting handle, this person chooses another handle. The next person must use these handles in the same order and also choose and mark another handle. This continues until a person does not reach the defined route.
With this game and the magnetic markings for bouldering handles you can have fun as well as do a workout.
Magnetic cell phone holder for the car
Our customer created a magnetic cell phone holder for the car with the help of our magnets. Since the original cell phone holder in his Audi A4 convertible no longer matched the current smartphone models, something else had to be found.
He removed the old cell phone holder from his car. As a result, 2 large unsightly holes were then unfortunately to be seen.
This is how the magnetic cell phone holder is built
For his idea of making a new magnetic mount for the car himself, the customer proceeded as follows:
He glued a neodymium bar 65x13x5mm with countersunk holes to the desired location with silicone. Then he stuck a small metal plate into his cell phone case, which then attracts itself magnetically to the holder.
A magnetic mobile phone holder was created quickly and easily.
This idea not only covered the unsightly holes in the center console, it also created a practical and easy-to-use gadget.
Summary:
Order neodymium bar with countersunk and holes.
Screw it into place with screws or glue it with silicone or something similar.
Stick the magnetic plate on your own mobile phone case. These are very cheap e.g. available on eBay.
The mobile phone holder is ready!
Thank you very much for the detailed description with many pictures!

A magnetic fishing game is a wonderful activity that has fascinated us adults in the past. One of our customers "re-emerged" the well-known game with the simplest materials and the most beautiful marine animals.
With just a few materials, you can quickly and easily create your own magnetic fishing game.
Make a magnetic fishing game yourself - that's what you need
20 Sew-in disc magnets Ø 12 x 2 mm in a PVC-coating disc SM-12x02-R-PVC
At least 1 screw nut from M8 per fishing rod
Wooden spoon
Textile cord or long lacing straps
Scraps of fabric
Scissors, needle, thread and glue (a textile glue is best)
Please note: Since this game attracts even the smallest to play, objects that are too small should not be tinkered with as there is a risk of choking or suffocation.
Please also make sure that the objects do not contain any points or sharp edges.
We have selected these possible game variants for you:
Blind fishing
Put the fish and other items in a tall pot or a drawstring bag (gym bag). You can e.g. make an aquarium out of a cardboard box.
Every child is allowed to fish blind once. The winner will be determined on the basis of the marine animals “fished”.
Each fish or object is assigned a score before the game begins. For example, in this case the “old shoe” and the “pot” correspond to a rivet.
The rainbow fish, on the other hand, has the highest score of 10 points. Every other figure corresponds to 5 points.
After all marine animals and objects have been magnetically fished, the points are added together. The player with the most points is the winner.
Time-Fishing
Each player receives a magnetic fishing rod. An hourglass serves as a time guide. The goal is to catch as many fish as possible within this time. After the time has elapsed, the points are added together and it is the next player's turn. The awarding of points can be decided by yourself or as with "blind fishing" (see above).
The level of difficulty can also be increased by fishing "blind", as described above.
We hope you enjoy tinkering and playing with this great magnetic fishing game.

A self-made picture wall with magnetic foil and magnetic paint is always an eye-catcher. One of our customers created a very special and, above all, flexible work of art. In today's magnet application, we would like to present the result to you.
How the Self-Made picture wall was created
I primed a 2x1 meter MDF board and painted it with magnetic paint. A total of 72 pictures of various sizes are attached with magnets. To do this, I use the "Magnetic foil self-adhesive DIN A2 on one side - can be cut to size", which you recommended to me after a consultation. I cut small pieces out of the magnetic foil and stick them on the pictures in each of the four corners. So similar to how you deal with photo corners. The pictures are now hanging perfectly on the board.
Advantage: with new pictures, these can be easily exchanged thanks to the magnets. Alternatively, the pictures could also be glued directly to the picture wall, but I am flexible with a plate and can hang it around as desired.
A beautiful work of art in the living room. What an eye-cather!
Secure the satellite antenna securely to the roof of the motorhome
Our customer presented us his new application he created; How to secure the satellite antenna securely to the roof of the motorhome.
With a mobile home you are independent. It is up to you whether you pick a specific place for your trip or whether you look for a new place every day. Look at sights during the day or drive from one place to another, and in the evening let the day end with a cozy glass of wine.
Before you crawl into your bed, you want to watch TV - but wait: How do you actually attach a satellite antenna to a motorhome safely and flexibly? Finally, the antenna has to be realigned at each place. Once the antenna is set correctly, it should also hold this position reliably. Otherwise the picture would suddenly disappear in the middle of a soccer game - nobody want's that!
As so often, the solution is: magnets!
One of our customers took the initiative and photographed his construction and made it available to us.
Secure the satellite antenna securely to the roof of the motorhome; This is how it works!
The following was used:
4 neodymium pot magnets Ø 36.0 x 7.5 mm, internal thread M6
4 screws (M6) of suitable length (depending on the holder of the satellite antenna)
A piece of rubber or pond liner to protect the vehicle from scratches
Antenna mount
The pot magnets are attached to the holder with the M6 screws. Lay the foil or rubber simply underneath. The thinner the foil, the better the magnets adhere. But even a 1 mm thick film is not a problem for these magnets.
Once the antenna is in place, it can be aligned. The magnets hold the antenna securely in place.
It should be noted that the roof must of course be made of metal - a plastic roof is of course not suitable for this!
And the journey can go on!
Now nothing stands in the way of a cozy evening watching TV in your mobile home!
The next morning the satellite antenna can easily be removed again until it is quickly and easily installed again in the evening - at the next station.

In today's magnet application, self-adhesive magnetic tape that are stuck to a clothes pin make everyday work easier for a teacher.
I am a teacher at a support center for special needs. We work a lot with visualizations of images, pictograms, etc.
Everything is always visible on the board. For this I use self-adhesive magnetic tape 10mm
In my last preparation for upcoming lessons, my colleague and I had an idea on how we can extent the use of the magnets and on how I can reuse my materials more often, therefore save the magnets.
Clothes pin with magnetic plate: Ideal for pictures on the board
What should you pay attention to?
The magnets can simply be attached onto the clothespins without any additional tools. One side of the magnetic platelets is provided with an adhesive and after removing the protective film, the tape is securely bonded to the pin by briefly pressing them.
Attaching it on both sides makes work easier, as the clothes pins can easily be turned around. So you can never reach the "wrong side" because both sides stick.
After a short preparation, the small aids can be used permanently and can now effectively support everyday work!
Homemade magnetic beer tree as a bottle cap holder
What you don't know yet is the ingenious replica from one of our customers; Homemade magnetic beer tree as a bottle cap holder
Most of you will probably know our beer tree.
Homemade magnetic beer tree as a bottle cap holder
A branch was used from a dead small tree. You should make sure that the fork of the branch, or whatever part of the tree you want to use, stands up on its own if possible. The stand is all the more secure in the end!
You can then cut the branch to the desired length with a saw - there are no limits to your imagination. The more branches, the more rustic the result looks afterwards. The ends should not be too thin so that the magnets can still be used. It should still be possible to drill with a 10 mm drill bit so that at least 3 - 4 mm of wood remains.
The holes are made approx. 2 cm deep. Then the rodmagnets are inserted into the holes and glued with glue (e.g. hot glue gun).
The appropriate stand is then screwed on at the bottom.
If this is then securely mounted, the tree can grow!
The advantage of our neodymium rodmagnets is their easy handling. Thanks to their elongated shape, they are easy to grip. Therefore they be used on pin boards. By stringing together individual magnets, you can create neodymium rodmagnets of any length. Whether you prefer large rodmagnets or small rodmagnets. Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). However, some designs are magnetized diametrically (through the diameter). In this category we offer you high-quality neodymium rodmagnets in different sizes, which you can buy from us at reasonable prices!

Our customer created an own photo gallery in her home by making a photo-wall with magnetic paint. Not recognizable as such at first glance.
Photo-wall with magnetic paint
I applied gray magnetic paint in the living room (for interior use) Solvent-free. Can be painted just as easily as normal wall paint. Three times was the charme - before the magnets wouldn't hold well enough. Now, depending on my mood, I can quickly hang up other photos. You can paint over the wall with regular color or put wallpaper over it. The magnets used here are simple ferrite disc magnets 29.5x10.5mm Y35 and hold the 90 g heavy photographs reliably. I think it looks very good.
Your magnets will stick to any wall. Because the paint is mixed with fine, rust-free iron particles, the paint creates an adhesive surface. Once a wall has been treated with magnetic paint, all sorts of things can be easily attached with magnets - just like on a refrigerator door.
The secret of the water-soluble latex paint is that it is mixed with the finest, rust-free iron particles. Like any other painting, it is easy to apply to the wall using a brush or roller.
The paint is dry after only four hours, 3 layers of paint are ideal for attaching magnets.
The rust-free paint can also be used safely in children's rooms and can be painted over with any covering color or covered with thin wallpaper without losing its appeal.
Since the color itself is not magnetic, there is of course no magnetic radiation and no magnetic field.

Assembling the ceiling without seeing screws or nails afterwards - our customer solved this task with magnetic fastening of profile strip for wooden ceiling.
Magnetic fastening
Materials used for this project:
2 Neodymium bars 50 x 13 x 5 mm with countersunk and holes
Screws
Wooden strips for ceiling
Metall washers
This is how this project was implemented:
I used the magnets to attach a 3 meter profile strip to my wooden ceiling. The magnets and washers I attached to the wooden profile strip on the ceiling as a counterpart. Now I can simply attach my wooden profile strips to the ceiling in a concealed manner without screws or nails. This brings the advantage that I can quickly assemble / dismantle the profile strips. It holds!!!
Optimal use of the adhesive force by installing the neodymium magnet in an elongated U-profile.
With a length of only 50 mm and a height of 5 mm, you get a small magnet system with an adhesive force of approx. 16 kg.
The nickel-plated U-profile protects the strong NdFeB magnet from damage and increases / bundles the adhesive force on one side.
This means that this flat bar magnet is only magnetic on the open side with the countersunk holes!
On the back, the magnet is therefore non-magnetic and has no adhesive force.

There are different possibilities to prevent that the fleece flies away with every gust of wind, for example: magnetic attachment of fleece to the cold frame.
Probably the easiest option is to use curved metal rods to which the fleece can be easily attached to.
Magnetic attachment of fleece to the cold frame
The following materials were used:
Curved stainless steel rods
Discmagnets Ø 30.0 x 3.0 mm N45 Nickel
Our customer solved the "blowing away" problem as follows:
He attached the magnets to the rods.
When the fleece needs to be held in place, he easily can lift up the magnets and lay the fleece inbetween the rods and the magnets.
For watering purposes he can easily pull it back up.
For the 5 meter long bed he used 8 arches of fleece and 16 magnets. If necessary, a second magnet can be attached on each side.
The adhesive effect is so great that he dispensed using the additional magnet.
Please be aware that magnets do not adhere to pure stainless steel!
Please use metal rods that are not made of stainless steel. If in doubt, check with a magnet if they attract to the rods before using them.

A catering company had the idea to create an unique presentation aid with the help of magnets; magnetic serving trays.
The purpose is to be able to offer various desserts, soups or small snacks without having the glasses fall down during serving.
Creation of Magnetic serving trays
We are a catering company in Villingen-Schwenningen. Since we are always looking for new and innovative ideas for food presentation, we came up with the idea of creating a "soup tasting".
In order to serve the soups and other various delicacies such as dessert variation in glasses we needed an idea.
We used ring magnets that implented into the wooden board and discmagnets Ø 15.0 x 2.0 mm N42 nickel on the glasses, thoses we glued on with a special adhesive.
Works and looks great and it is very popular within our guests.
Skillful presentation and transportation of food
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization due to the neodymium-iron-boron used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium discmagnets. The range of possible applications for the super magnets is huge. Most of our neodymium discmagnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic discs are diametrically magnetized, recognizable by the extra picture in the product picture.

Light for the right perspective while drilling is essential to ensure that you have the right perspective while working.
In many cases, large bench drilling machines already have a built-in light. The smaller fixtures that can be used with a conventional drill usually have no light.
One of our customers still didn't want to do without it and quickly came up with a magnetic solution for it.
Light for the right perspective while drilling
Material used and implementation for this application:
Neodymium potmagnet Ø 32.0 x 8.0 mm
The magnet was mounted on the mounting bracket of the lamp, this can now be attached easily to the horizontal arm of the drilling device
The light is always in the right place and nothing stands in the way of clean work.
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The magnet has a central hole with a counter bore. This allows the holding magnet to be securely screwed to the wall / ceiling using a countersunk screw. Metallic counterparts then adhere magnetically to this pot magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. Strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.
Aquarium-filter attached securely & flexibly
Our customer attached his aquarium-filter securely & flexibly with our products.
All aquarium lovers know the struggle of how to securely attach the aquarium-filter and still remain flexible.
Aquarium-filter attached securely & flexibly
His internal filter of the aquarium caused problems over and over again. The suction cups became hard being constantly in the water and in a short period of time they no longer adhered securely to the window. Which caused that the filter kept falling into the aquarium.
Our customer used the following products:
Waterproof neodymium magnets with a plastic coating
Neodymium magnet Ø 22.0 x 6.0 mm with plastic coating - black
This is how he implented his application:
He removed the suction cups from the base plate of the filter and glued the magnets with hot glue on instead.
As a counterpart, another magnet was attached to the outside of the aquarium so that the base plate holds securely.
All waterproof neodymium magnets in this category are completely covered with plastic. Due to the robust coating, they have several advantages.
Here is an overview of the most important ones:
• The magnets can be used in water or damp environments without any problems because the PP coating completely encloses the neodymium magnet.
• Sensitive surfaces are protected by the plastic coating. The waterproof magnets can be used on whiteboards or glass magnetic boards, for example, without leaving scratches.
• The cast magnet is nickel-plated, has a magnetization quality of N42 and therefore a maximum operating temperature of 80°C.
Thanks to the magnets on the outside, now the filter can even be moved without getting your hands inserted into the aquarium.
Depending on the size of your filter used on your aquarium, you might need 2 or 3 pairs of magnets.

Our customer needed a reliable fastening for his shaving soap. He decided to create a magnetic shaving soap holder with cone magnets. Now the shaving soap stays in place during use - otherwise the soap keeps sliding back and forth in the bowl.
Since I shave wet, I use shaving soap in the bowl. After the shaving soap has worn down to a certain extent, it no longer sticks, but always rotates when I want to lather up soap with the shaving brush. If the shaving soap rotates, however, lathering with the shaving brush is no longer possible.
To prevent the shaving soap from rotating, I attached neodymium cone magnets to the inside of the bowl. Since my current shaving bowl is made of stainless steel, it is not magnetic itself. That's why I attached disc magnets 15 mm x 3.00 mm N45 nickel to the outside of the shell so that the magnets now hold each other.
Now I can push my shaving soap in the bowl into the cone magnets and thereby fix it. The last piece of shaving soap no longer rotates.
This solution can also be used with plastic cans / trays aswell.
Magnetic shaving soap holder
Magnetic locking for sliding glass doors
Sliding glass doors are often used for glazing terraces and our customer created a magnetic locking for sliding glass doors, since the individual panes of glass run in guide rails and usually do not have a predetermined latch.
In order to provide the panes with a locking mechanism, one of our customers installed neodymium cube magnets 12 x 12 x 12 mm N48 Gold in the sliding glass doors.
Each door has a magnet on its base, which is attached to the railing with a specially made pole piece. The pole pieces are made of 3 mm thick sheet iron and are adapted to the shape of the railing . A little manual dexterity is an advantage here.
Breakthroughs are made in the bottom rail to accommodate the counter magnets. The distance between the door magnets and the floor rail magnets should be around 1 to 2 mm. In this way, the magnets still attract sufficiently strong and at the same time can be released easily enough.
Magnetic locking for sliding glass doors
The installation position of the magnets is chosen so that the direction of magnetization is parallel to the direction of movement of the sliding doors. This results in a clear locking position that is pleasantly soft and easy to reach. Each latching position of a door requires a magnet in the bottom rail.
Only one magnet is built into the sliding glass door itself.

A handmade work called photo explosion box with magnets.
A customer made great gift boxes with photos and other homemade things in them.
The boxes are cut out of cardboard and folded so that they can be opened and closed. Photos are then glued to the inside of the sides or small pockets are created in which you can put small letters.
In order to be able to removed the accessories without damaging the handicraft, they are not glued, but fixed with blockmagnets 10 x 10 x 10 mm N 42 nickel.
Thin disc or block magnets with a height of only 1 mm are best suited for this. A metal disc Ø 20 with double-sided adhesive tape, white can serve as a counterpart.
On one side, the metal discs are provided with a double-sided adhesive tape with a scotch-mount polyurethane foam adhesive. This adhesive is particularly recommended for applications in which high aging resistance, high shear strength and very good temperature resistance as well as good UV, weather and solvent resistance are required.
So everything stays in its place and the explosion box can be transported safely.

We were able to support the pupils at the Veitshöchheim high school in a project with our strong magnets - electromagnetic train.
The aim was to build the "simplest electric train".
Ladies and Gentlemen
We contacted you for the first time last spring and asked for support for our experiment, which we set up as part of our P seminar at the Veitshöchheim high school. The experiment is the "simplest electric train", for which, among other things, strong neodymium magnets are needed.
Your company was kind enough to advise us and provide us with several magnets of different sizes free of charge. Thanks to this support, we were able to successfully set up the experiment over a period of nine months. We concluded our P seminar with an evening presentation in our school's auditorium. We presented our experiments in an entertaining way in a one and a half hour program. These were then exhibited to try out and ask questions. During the presentation, we mentioned your company as a sponsor of our magnets, showed your company logo and thanked you for your support.
We would also like to send you the video of our test as an attachment so that you can use it for advertising purposes or otherwise as agreed.
Many thanks again for the problem-free cooperation, advice and material support!
Kind regards
We know that the support was worth it when we get such a great result in the end!

The collecting bottle opener while opening the bottles was an interesting and useful application that our customer implented with the help of our products.
This submission is worth publishing, because the materials that our customer uses are sometimes still a bit unusual.
Not only wood, but also concrete or 3D prints were used for the creation of the bottle openers.
A strong neodymium magnet is used to catch the falling bottle caps. Depending on the size of the bottle opener, block magnets 40 x 20 x 10 mm N42 nickel or disc magnets Ø 30 x 15 mm N 42 nickel in various dimensions were used.
The collecting bottle opener
These unique, self-made bottle openers are not only very useful and handy but also a great eye-catcher. For your own house, bar or as a gift for your freinds and family, a great gadget that should not be missing in any household.
Your creativity knows no limits when creating a custom made "collecting bottle opener".
Thank you to our customer for sharing his idea with us!

Our Customer used screwable neodymium flat bars an an angle plate. Do to the magnetic attraction, the lid stays securely shut.
You can find the magnets used for this apllication here: Neodymium magnets -screwable
Magnets with bore and countersink for screwing
Screw-on magnetic force:
The magnets in this category have one or two countersunk holes. This allows that the block magnets can be screwed on using countersunk screws. Due to the special design, the flat screw-on magnets are hardly bulky and still have the good adhesive force that you are used to with neodymium magnets. They are magnetized by their height (axial magnetization). Of course, there are many possible uses for this type of magnet, such as trade fair and shop construction, kitchen or furniture construction, etc. You can also use it to securely attach signs, tools and metal objects. Round neodymium pot magnets with a countersunk hole are also very often used, the metal pot of which protects the built-in neodymium magnet from damage.

VW Beetle disguised as ladybug became the absolute eye-catcher at the carnivals parade!
Not only people want to have fun and dress up at Mardi Gras or at carnaval, but also cars :-)
Our customer shared exactly this opinion and disguised his red VW Beetle.
VW Beetle disguised as ladybug
For the black dots the customer used black magnetic foil. He cut round dots in diffeerent sizes out of the foil and attached them to the VW Beetle.
Strong neodymium disc magnets 45.0 x 5.0 mm N50 nickel - holds 17 kg were worked into the sensors, which ensure a secure hold during the parade.
Of course, the Ladybug can't be driven in normal traffic, but it's ideal for the carnival parade.
The magnetic foil adapts to the shape of the body and does not damage the paint. As soon as the carneval time is over, everything can be easily removed again.
High-quality magnetic film for the production of magnetic signs, automobile magnetic signs, warning and information signs, warehouse labels and other magnetic advertising media. Very good quality and easy to use.
The non-magnetic side is covered with a colored PVC film.
You can cut the film to the desired dimensions with a cutter or scissors.
The film can be printed using screen printing, UV or solvent processes.
Shirt collar with magnets in the right position
Our customers came up with a solution on how the button-up shirt collar remains in the right position with magnets. This idea we do not want to withhold from you.
Especially on button-up shirts with large collars, you always have the problem that the shirt collar does not stay where it should.
Sometimes it sticks out too far or it just doesn't lay down flat at all. When worn, one end of the collar protrudes, the other remains under the sweater ...
Magnets help hold your shirt collar in place
This problem can be solved very easily with cube magnets; Cubemagnet 5.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 1.5 kg
Simply hold one cube on the front collar, snap a second against it from behind - done!
It's quick, inexpensive and on top of that, it looks perfectly clean. If a silver cube doesn't match your outfit- no problem! The cube magnets in our shop are also available in gold. In our shop you can also find magnets is different shapes for all of your needs!
If you are allergic to nickel, you can replace the rear, invisible magnet with a metal plate. A simple disc is sufficient for this. Or alternatively use sew-in magnets.
REMOVE BEFORE WASHING!
The magnets must of course be removed before washing in order to avoid damage to the washing machine.
Magnetic cutting aid for veggies
You want to cut vegetables quickly, and the vegetable slices constantly get stuck on the knife blade, then use a magnetic cutting aid for veggies.
But that doesn't have to be! A small magnet makes the work much easier.
When cutting thin slices of vegetables, fruit or sausage, the water film often causes the slices to stick to the knife blade. This is especially annoying if you have invested a lot of money in a sharp, thin knife to make it easier to work quickly.
Magnetic cutting aid for veggies
A small conemagnet can really work wonders here. The slices are immediately separated from the knife by the magnet and remain clean on the cutting board.
It works best if you cut slightly forward while cutting.
But you should definitely exercise caution!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JLwJcNtO0o
When removing the magnet from the knife, you should be careful and always push the magnet off the blade towards the back of the knife.
Otherwise there is a risk of injury!
Neodymium conemagnets
Admittedly, our neodymium conemagnets do not have a normal shape at first glance. The strong power magnets are magnetized through the height (axially) and thus have the poles on the two large areas. All magnets in this category have the north pole on the large diameter. Paired use is not possible.
Important: Although the conemagnets have the most adhesion or holding power on the wide end, it is better to leave the smaller side on the adhesive base. If the large diameter is only on the metallic adhesive base, the magnet can no longer be loosened without tools.
The perfect wedding pin with magnets
A unique and homemade accessory: The perfect wedding pin with magnets
The perfect wedding pin with magnets
Which material you need for this:
Discmagnet Ø 15.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - self-adhesive
Cardboard (preferably a dark color)
Blossoms
Winding wire
Duct tape
Which tools are needed?
Scissors
Step 1 - Cardboard sub-floor
First you draw a base on the cardboard, as in the photo. The exact shape and size are not important here. But you can orientate yourself about four centimeters. This sub-floor will later be used to attach the flowers.
Tip: If you are planning a lot of badges, it is worthwhile to create a template first. This makes things quicker and guarantees that all badges are the same shape.
Then you can cut out the shapes. By the way, it doesn't matter what color the box is. However, we recommend dark cardboard boxes as most wedding guests will certainly wear a black or blue suit. So it is the least noticeable.
Then the magnet is glued on. To be on the safe side, the magnet is also fixed with adhesive tape. You do the same with the counterpart (see photo). To do this, cut out a small square from cardboard (approx. 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm) and attach magnets and adhesive tape to it.
Step 2 - Tie flowers
Now it's up to the flowers: The best thing to do is to buy a rose bush from the discounter for the flowers. Now you can tie the flowers with leaves or the like as you like. You can let your creativity run free here.
Finished with the flower arrangement? Great, then all you have to do is attach the "mini bouquet" that you made in step 1 to your holder. Fine winding wire is best suited for this.
That's it! Now you can attach the magnetic pin to the jacket in no time at all and remove them again!
Important note: The pin must not be worn by people with pacemakers!
Magnetic autograph cards
Autograph cards are a great keepsake, but even better if they are magnetic!
Together with JUST AUTHENTIC we have developed a magnetic autograph card with which you can simply admire the memory of your star over and over again. Just adhere the autograph on the fridge and every time you're in the kitchen you'll remember the unforgettable moment.
AUTOGRAPHS ARE NOT JUST A SIMPLE SIGNATURE
With an autograph card you hold a signed piece of personality in your hands! It would be a shame if it just disappeared in a drawer.
The autograph cards were used for the first time at the ADAC GT Masters in Oschersleben. We have been a partner of Herberth Motorsport for many years now and have set ourselves the goal of creating something unique. Something that motorsport fans will remember.
We had to invest a lot of brainpower until the perfect format, the perfect material and the matching magnet were found. But the work was worth it!
Magnetic foil Autograph Cards
Now Herberth Motorsport's cards are no longer made of paper, but of magnetic foil.
The first copies show a Porsche 911 GT3 R with the starting number 99.
The fans were thrilled and so were we :-)

In order to create an awesome acoustics in a recording booth (voice booth) we supported the guys from Rockantenne while equipping the booth with magnetic tape - for the perfect sound.
The booth should be expanded with so-called absorbers that are attached to the wall. So that these can also be removable, we have recommended the use of Neodymium Power self-adhesive magnetic tape. Tape was glued to the foam elements with spray adhesive. This allowes the absorbers to be easily attached to the wall. Perforated metal strips are screwed on as counterparts for the magnets.
Absorbers ensure that no disruptive reverberation occurs. This would negatively affect the sound.
Magnetic tape - perfect sound
Rockantenne says:
Everything worked wonderfully, the tape had just the right "bite" that we neded to keep everything stable on the wall.
But can be removed with a little pull when needed.
FLEXIBLE AND VERSATILE
Once again we are amazed, what is possible with our own products.
Magnetic tape looks inconspicuous at first glance, but the possibilities are almost endless.
For many years the magnetic foils and tapes could only be made from ferrite material. Due to the increasing demand for even stronger foils, the neodymium magnetic foil was developed.
Neodymium-iron-boron is mostly used for the production of so-called super magnets. An enormous adhesive force can be achieved here in the smallest of spaces.
Our neodymium magnetic foils achieve a much higher adhesive force than normal magnetic foils. These foils can now be used in areas where the adhesive force achieved by the ferrite foils was not sufficient before.
These power neodymium tapes have an adhesive force of 415 g/cm²
For comparison: adhesive force of a normal magnet made of ferrite: 102 g/cm²
Advantages:
- elastic and flexible
- Can be cut to size with a craft knife or sturdy scissors
We wish Rockantenne a lot of fun "on air" and always a good sound!
Thank you for letting us be a part of yor new project. ROCK ON !
Attachment for bedroom cabinet

Our customer created an attachment for the bedroom cabinet. This became a solution to his problem that various empty boxes of household and electrical appliances accumulated on top of the cabinet and destroyed the overall picture in his bedroom.
The self-imposed specifications:
Inexpensive
Shapely
Manufactured myself, as no suitable attachments are available in stores
Space should be used in the best possible way
Construction of the top elements for the bedroom Cabinet
At the beginning, a true-to-scale drawing was created in order to determine the material requirements.
Based on the measurements, light wooden panels (16 mm) in the appropriate size were then bought from specialist wood shops.
The dimension for the cut was reduced by 1 mm, as the decorative film will compensate for this later on.
With a Forstner drill, holes 12 mm deep were drilled on the back of the panels, into which the neodymium disc magnets (size: 25 x 12 mm) were then glued in. They cannot be seen from the front.
If you don't have the right tools for this yourself, you can have it done by a carpenter.
The panels were then covered with decorative film. The self-adhesive film in the matching cabinet decor must be dimensioned so that it can be stuck cleanly to the back of the wooden panel.
Angle profiles made of steel ensure that all components are straight and fixed at the same height. This guarantees a clean overall picture.
An angle profile (size 40 x 20 x 5 mm) is mounted around the cabinet for this purpose. The long side is vertical, the short side is screwed onto the cabinet.
The magnets then adhere to the standing side.
Additional angle pieces (size 15 x 15 x 2 mm) were screwed onto the back of the individual panels at the appropriate height.
The angle profiles should be varnished, painted or powder coated, otherwise they can rust.
Thin plywood panels on the back of the panels close the gaps between the panels.
Assembled with a "click" - and the bedroom is tidy!
When you put the finished panels on, the steel profile rests on the large angle profile. The magnets attach to the upright legs of the cabinet profile and ensure a secure hold.

Magnetic time recording and attendance overview created to help during rescue missons.
Magnets are used by many aid organizations - both in action and in day-to-day business. When in mission, magnets often help on so-called "location maps" to quickly assign units to a specific area or section and to have important messages always at hand.
The Technical relief organization (THW) in Meppen now even uses magnets to record the time of the emergency services and to have a quick overview of the helpers present. This makes work much easier for managers and executives.
Magnetic time recording and attendance overview
Structure clearly on a whiteboard
For this purpose, the organizational structure of the entire local association is recorded on a large whiteboard. Each emergency rescuer has their own little box, in which contains a card with name, picture and barcode. The barcode is used to record the hours of missions and services.
The individual cards are made from magnetic C-profile cuts.
Upon arrival at the accommodation, the rescuer takes the card from the board and uses a barcode scanner to register himself into the time recording. Then the card is attached to the board again and a green memo magnet is placed on it. This means that everyone else knows at a glance that the helper is here or on duty.
The pictures of the volunteers make the matter very personal and vivid :-)
Secure hold for sliding gate
Our cutomer created a secure hold for a custome made sliding gate.
To protect his vehicles from wind and weather, our customer has attached a sliding gate made of PVC fabric (also known as truck tarpaulin) to his carport.
DIY - Sliding gate
For this purpose, he has worked holes into the material on the upper side, to which castors are attached. The gate can then be pushed open on a rail.
Unfortunately, the wind opened the sliding gate and the actual purpose of the construction was no longer fulfilled.
Secure hold for sliding gate
So a solution to the problem had to be found:
The solution was to use countersunk ring magnets made of neodymium, which are fastened with screws at each division and at both ends of the sliding gate.
In addition, there is a magnet mounted onto the wood of the carport. One on each side of the truck tarpaulin. A metal disc on the wood is actually sufficient here.
Please pay attention to the correct polarity during assembly so that the magnets attract and do not repel each other.
When the gate is closed, the magnets stick to the ends of the carport. When the gate is open, the other magnets hold the tarpaulin together.
Even during wind, the door now remains securely closed and the cars are protected from sun, rain and other weather conditions.
Gymnastics bench converted to a knife bar
Most probably know a gymnastics bench from their school days. Be it as a seat in physical education or as actual gymnastics equipment.
Finding a gymnastics bench in the kitchen is rather unusual, but not impossible.
Gymnastics bench converted to a knife bar
One of our customers converted such a bench into a magnetic knife strip. A few steps were necessary for this, which we would of course be happy to show you.
Years ago when I got the chance to get an old gymnastics bench from a school, I took it. My first idea was to cut up the top board to make a new table top. After doing this, I noticed the writing on the lower bar of the bench: It said "Gym Equipment".
Some time ago I saw the idea for a knife bar in a magazine and was now sure that I could implement it with the said beam. To do this, it had to be divided first to get a thickness of 4 cm. Overall, the knife bar has the dimensions 40 x 8 x 4 cm.
After sawing to size, the holes for the disc magnets were finally drilled at a distance of 2.5 cm from one another with a Forstner bit using a drill press up to 3 mm, as were the recesses for the neodymium pot magnets.
Then the disc magnets were fixed with hot glue and the neodymium pot magnets were screwed on. Finally the edges were lightly sanded and the wood oiled.
For mounting on the wall, I also decided to use the magical power of magnets. A perforated plate (38 cm x 8 cm) was therefore sawn to size with a hacksaw and pegged to the wall. So the whole tab header can simply be clicked onto the wall.
Thanks to the three disc magnets, even large knives can easily be held and the knife bar offers space for five cutting devices.
Thank you very much for sending in this great magnet application!

Decoration tape 15cm wide (used as curtain panels & decorative loop)
Gift ribbon red with white hearts (used to border the curtain panels)
Two ferro strips (shortened to 2 x 60cm, so that we reach 120cm width) serve as a holder for the magnets of the curtain panels. To do this, we attached it to the wall just above the window (tip: the ferro strips can be easily cut through with scissors!).
The other ferro strip is used to hold the floating branch, so we attached it to the inside of the lintel.
We then attached the curtain panels with the designer acrylic magnets. The spheres hold the decorative hearts. You can then easily hang the ropes on the spheres, they hold wonderfully. We also attached the decorative loop in the middle with two small spheres. This allows the fabric to ideally wrap around the curvature of the spheres and so they become almost invisible.
We tied the branches together in a bundle and then attached them to the two ferrite hook magnets in the middle of the window using two nylon threads. We also filled the ferrous strip attached to the lintel with additional pieces of double-sided adhesive tape. Since the strip hangs from the ceiling, we have thus prevented the iron tape from sagging between the adhesive pads attached to the work.
Making Christmas decorations is not difficult at all
We are always happy about the great things that our customers make with our products. If there is no pre-Christmas mood with this Christmas decoration, we don't know what to do next ;-)
"Tidy" the magnetic helper

Today we have a new customer application for you that we think is particularly successful "Tidy" the magnetic helper ".
Our customer gave his application the name "Tidy", meaning "clean, tidy", and the name fits perfectly!
Design decoration freely
Annoyed by the decoration on the windowsill in my bathroom, I came up with the idea of attaching the decoration directly to the window sash.
Based on the idea of the hook on the door on which I hang my towels, something like this should also work on the window. Decoration, however, is very different from my towels, always different. Sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes less, sometimes more ...
So it should be something flexible.
However, screws only hold well if you tighten them firmly. With your neodymium magnets I can freely adjust the position of my platforms by simply pushing them and thus adapting "Tidy" to the decoration over and over again.
The construction consists of sheet metal from the hardware store with a thickness of 0.75 mm. I bent it at the top so that you can hook it into the window sash. The platforms are made from the remains of the sheet metal. I bent it so that there is enough space for the lever arm between the magnets.
There are small slip mats on the platforms so that things don't fall off when tipped.
For the small platforms I used two cube magnets with an edge length of 10 mm. These already hold so tight that you can put small plants on them. Provided you place them between the two sheets. This also makes it more difficult to detach the platforms from the base plate, for example for cleaning.
For the larger plant I used two cube magnets with 10 mm and one cube magnet with an edge length of 15 mm. Due to the significantly greater force, I can now arrange the magnets visibly, which also makes it much easier to detach them from the main platform.
Inexpensive to purchase - priceless in use!
The material value is 12.87 euros. For the sheet metal (0.75 mm) I paid 2.40 euros in the hardware store. The magnet with an edge length of 15 mm is available from EUR 3.45 and the magnet with an edge length of 10 mm from EUR 1.17.
There are hardly any limits to creativity here. If you have more money available, you can also produce a stainless steel version (ferritic). Perforated sheet metal or expanded metal would certainly be great for more light.
Narrower sheets, but several side by side and many other variants are possible ...
I hope you like "Tidy" so much too :)
Magnets - omnipresent and mysterious
Magnets are omnipresent and mysterious.
Everyone knows these hard and dark objects that radiate mysterious powers. You come across them everywhere: They not only keep notes on the refrigerator and close handbags, but are also found in most household and electrical appliances. Magnets attract ferromagnetic metals and therefore stick to the heater or refrigerator, for example. While this attraction is visible, the force cannot be felt. Therefore, magnets are very mystical to many people. Their power is imperceptible to humans - at least not physically. Man can neither hear, smell, see nor directly feel the energy fields of the magnets. How can this be possible? What invisible forces are behind it?
Magnets - omnipresent and mysterious
What is a magnet?
A magnet is an object that has its own magnetic field. Magnets are objects that can attract or repel other metals. Metals that have magnetic properties are iron, cobalt and nickel. Each magnet has two so-called "poles", a north pole and a south pole. These attract the other poles.
If you hold the south pole of one magnet and the north pole of another magnet together, they will attract each other. However, if you try to hold two north poles (or two south poles) together, the magnets will repel each other.
The invisible force that works between the magnets is called magnetic force.
Why is a magnet magnetic?
Not every piece of metal is magnetic. This is because the atoms, or the small pieces of metal that make up the piece of metal, are disordered. All of these particles can be thought of as small magnets. Since these little magnets are disordered, their magnetic forces are suspended. So the piece of metal has neither a north pole nor a south pole. However, these particles arrange themselves by stroking them with a magnet. All of these particles rotate in one direction. This unites their magnetic forces and the piece of metal becomes magnetic. However, this only works if it is a so-called "ferromagnetic substance" - i.e. iron, cobalt or nickel.
A magnet is magnetic for the same reason. Because this consists of a ferromagnetic material, the elementary magnetic particles of which are all aligned in the same direction. All of the particles that make up a magnet (neutron, electron and proton) individually represent a small and weak magnet. These small magnets combine to form larger magnets by adding their magnetic forces. Protons and neutrons, which make up the atomic nucleus, make this nucleus a large magnet. Atoms are connected to form molecules or crystals. This creates magnets and, accordingly, magnetic forces.
When is a magnet magnetic?
All substances are magnetic insofar as they have so-called magnetic domains. The electrons are aligned in the same way. This cannot always be seen from the outside.
In order for this magnetic property to be activated, all these small particles of the metal piece must be aligned or polarized in the same direction. When a strong magnetic field is applied to the piece of metal, all particles are forced to steer themselves in the same direction, causing the magnetic force to act outwards.
What does a magnet attract?
The attraction of magnets only affects things that contain iron, nickel or cobalt. These three substances are referred to as ferromagnetic substances because they have an iron-like behavior.
Where are magnets strongest?
The attraction of the magnets is strongest at the poles. There is almost no force in the center of the bar magnet. This area is therefore also known as the “neutral zone”. Instead, the magnetic force is much stronger in a horseshoe magnet because the force of both poles is effective in these magnets. North Pole and South Pole work in opposite directions. Therefore, the effects of both the North Pole and the South Pole cancel each other out the closer you get to the center of the magnet. Since the ends of a horseshoe magnet work together, you have the option of lifting heavier loads than with only one pole on a bar magnet.
What happens if a magnet breaks?
Magnets are available in different designs. A simple form of the magnet is the bar magnet. Another and very typical design is the horseshoe magnet. With all of these magnets a distinction is made between the north pole and the south pole. The north pole is often marked with red, the south pole with green or blue.
If a bar magnet breaks in the middle, two new bar magnets result, both of these magnets again having a north pole and a south pole. No matter how often you share these newly created bar magnets, you always get new magnets with both poles.
This happens because the magnetizable substances are composed of small areas, all of which behave like a magnet. These are referred to as elementary magnets. These elementary magnets can be aligned with another magnet. In such a way, bodies can be magnetized.
Heat or vibration demagnetizes the materials again.
When does a magnet lose its power?
No matter how mysterious and fascinating a magnet is, it will not last forever. Although you might not believe it - the magnets lose their power over time. The durability of the magnets is influenced by three things:
Vibration
In contrast to neodymium magnets, all other permanent magnets are sensitive to vibrations. Therefore one should avoid vibrations in order to maintain the adhesive force. So it can happen that if the magnet falls once, the order of the magnet gets mixed up and its magnetic force is reduced. The magnetic force can also be completely destroyed. The more often you shake the magnet, the smaller its magnetic properties will be.
Temperature
Each magnet has its own maximum operating temperature. Neodymium magnets, for example, lose their magnetic force at 80 ° C. Cold can also disrupt the internal order of the magnets.
Magnetic fields
Magnetic fields have put the magnets in order and they can destroy them again. Strong external magnetic fields can mix the particles even though they are uniformly aligned. As a result, the force of these magnets will no longer appear to the outside.
Although magnets can be preserved for a long time by protecting them from the above three factors, there is one more factor that cannot be stopped - namely rust. Corrosion can permanently destroy magnets. To prevent this, cobalt is added in the manufacture of magnets. This prevents decay.
What types of magnets are there?
Natural magnets are magnets that occur freely in nature. These so-called magnetite stones are composed of cooled iron-containing lava and nitrogen. These have the natural magnetism of the earth.
Electromagnets are magnets that are technically created by induction or electricity. Current flows through a coil that is wound around an iron core. As long as the current flows, the iron core carries and holds the resulting magnetic field. These magnets are only magnetic when electricity flows through them.
Permanent magnets are magnets that are industrially manufactured from different materials. Ferrite magnets are mainly made of iron. Neodymium magnets consist of neodymium, iron and boron. AlNiCo magnets consist of aluminum, nickel and cobalt. SmCo magnets are made of samarium and cobalt. Permanent magnets are used, for example, in measuring devices, compasses, microphones and in the hard drives of computers.
Super magnets are a special type of permanent magnet made on the basis of neodymium. Neodymium is a type of the so-called "rare earths". These magnets are much stronger than ferrite magnets, which is why they are called super magnets. Depending on their size, they have enormous powers. The larger such a magnet, the higher its holding force.
Magnetic fishing

Our customer has discovered a new hobby: magnetic fishing. With a strong magnet attached to a rope, he fishes metallic objects out of water.
He tells us about his findings and his approach in this magnet application today.
Magnetic fishing
On the Internet, I came across a video by chance in which two people presented their finds that they caught while magnetically fishing. I immediately became interested in this "bizarre" way of fishing and found out about magnetic fishing. I quickly learned that you need a robust and strong magnet for this. Finally I came across magnet-shop.com, where I quickly found my favorite magnet, a robust neodymium magnet with an eyelet. I ordered the "Eyelet magnet Ø 60 mm NEODYMIUM - zinc - holds 110 kg".
First the magnetic fisherman looks for a body of water where he can fish magnetically without disturbing other "real" fishers or other people. Also he looked for a place he hopes to find good objects.
A stronger rope (length approx. 12 - 25m) is tied into the eye of the neodymium magnet. The other end of the rope is used near the bank as a safety device. Or it is tied up on a railing.
Now you can start magnetic fishing!
You throw the magnet into the water as far as possible, wait until it has sunk and gently pull it out again.
Lucky ?!
Then maybe there might be an interesting iron find attached to the magnet. If not, don't discourage,!
Magnetic fishing is just like "normal" fishing; a patient sport.
After two weeks of intensive fishing with the magnet, I can say that it is perfect.
Constant humidity or wetness doesn't seem to bother him. Also the fact that he hit the ground a few times did not damage him either. The robustness is fabulous.
His enormous holding force of 110kg is also necessary.
I know from my own experience that you sometimes need a lot of strength to pull larger treasures out of the water.
The eyelet could also be screwed perfectly into the thread and has been "rivet and nail-proof" since then -> praise at magnet-shop.com:-)
Finally, I have to add that we have already made ourselves very popular at our local forest lake with magnetic fishing, as you involuntarily pull garbage out of the water, which we also properly disposed of on land.
The local fishing club welcomes us magnetic fishermen!
Magnet fishing is therefore a very environmentally friendly hobby :-)
Smartphone rescue with magnets
Our customer had a problem with metal dust in his smartphone speakers and he decided to rescue his smarthphone with magnets.
Because a broken smartphone is always annoying.
I work in a metal processing company. I regularly have metal dust and shavings at work and inevitably in my pockets.
After a short time, the magnetic metal particles clog the speaker openings on my cell phone. This left a lot to be desired in terms of functionality, as sometimes you could hardly hear the person you were talking to.
Smartphone rescue with magnets
As a simple weapon against the magnetic effect of the speakers, I thought of a stronger magnetic field than the speakers have. So I simply ran a small block magnet over the openings. The magnet collects most of it. To loosen stuck metal dust, I stick a few small magnets onto a needle to magnetize them. The dust can then be carefully loosened with the tip and collected.
Neodymium block magnets impress with their functional rectangular shape. Whether flat or thick, elongated or cube-shaped - we have the right magnet for every taste.
We thank our customer for sharing his idea with us and all of you - Thank you!

Our customer has had enough of wobbly brackets. He shows us how easy upgrading a knife sharpener with the help of our magnets can be.
Looking for a suitable magnet to modify my knife sharpener, I came across your application blog. I found the many inspirations great and would like to share my application with you:
I would like to fix my knives with a strong magnet while sharpening so that I can work safely. At the moment it is necessary to screw the knife with a clamp made of wobbly sheet metal and a fiddly screw for sharpening.
Upgrading a knife sharpener
In order to improve time and handling, I have therefore clamped two bar rod magnets on the front of the knife support.
So the knives hold without any further mechanical fixation.
A quick and frequent turning of the knives is thus easily possible and leads to an effective grinding process.
The following magnets were used: NdFeB-Rod magnet brass body Ø 13x20 mm tolerance h6, 7.1 kg
The now fully upgraded knife sharpener is reliable and safe to use! No more wobbly brackets and running the danger of injuries!
Thank you for submitting us your application with our magnets. We are pleased to shared it on our Blog!

To make his work easier, our customer made himself a practical nail bracelet for a farrier.
As a farrier he needs special nails which he always nedds them at hand.
Practical nail bracelet for farrier
With blockmagnets 60.0 x 15.0 x 5.0 mm - N40 nickel - holds 11.7 kg the nails hold optimally and are always in the right position.
I want to give you an example of a good magnet application here.
What is important on this nail bracelet is that you use 2 magnets so that the nails can be arranged in a controlled manner.
The Velcro fastener makes it easy to put on and the sheet metal plate prevents the magnets from collapsing.
Of course you can buy a similar bracelet and customize it yourself by implementing it with magnets.
Also you can sew a custom-made bracelet yourself.
Either way, you will soon realize how practical and handy this little helper can be.
You won't have to find a spot where to put the nails before you start working, also you won't have to interrupt your work, because you need to look for them- you just wear them on your wrist!
The use of this bracelet will impress you!
Magnetic awning fastening on balcony
Our customer was looking for a secure way on how to fasten an awning on his balcony and he decided to use magnetic fastening for it.
Shade in summer - no problem with a awning, our magnets and an good idea!
Magnetic awning fastening on balcony
The following magnets were used by the customer:
6 Sew-in discmagnet Ø 18 x 2 mm in a PVC-coating square
Our strong sew-in neodymium disc magnets are shrink-wrapped in waterproof PVC foil. Thanks to the stable plastic film, these super magnets can be sewn into clothing, for example, and can also be washed in the washing machine.
You can choose between a round and square shape for the PVC cover. You are guaranteed to find the right version for your application. The sew-in magnets are supplied in pairs separated by a plastic strip in packaging units of 10 pieces.
Procedure for implementation:
Magnets were sewn into a sun protection sail at a distance of approx. 50 cm.
When the closed awning is opened, the magnets automatically adhere to the handrail of the balcony railing.
For this reason, magnets were also used and no fixed solution was envisaged, as it is advantageous if the wind is too strong, the magnets loosen and therefore the tensioning rope or the sun protection sail cannot be overloaded.
When the wind subsides, the magnets automatically stick to the handrail again ... and everything is fine again!
There are many ways on how to secure an awning on to the balcony, but we especially love the magnetic way.
The advantages are many: no drilling, no screwing, no tools required.....See for yourself!

The light in the right place always provides the necessary perspective. The workplace lamp can of course not only be used in the workshop.
An existing lamp from a well-known Swedish furniture store is equipped with a heavy metal plate.
This is unscrewed and replaced by a turned wooden foot that is exactly the same size. It has three Neodymium pot magnet Ø 20.0 x 7.0 mm with cylinder bore holds 6 kg embedded on its underside.
The lamp adheres to all iron-containing tools such as (here) scroll saw or to the lathe (no photo).
If I need the lamp in a place where no metal is available (workbench), the heavy metal plate of the original is simply put back under it. Wood alone is too light, the lamp would tip over.
The light in the right place
Perfect lighting was created from a simple lamp! A very practical and handy application that provides the right light in the workshop. No more poor light and stressed eyes.
Thank you to our customer for sharing his magnet application with us! We like it!
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot:
The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The attachment is done here by e.g. a Torx or Allen screw. The screw can be screwed in flush in the central hole and the magnet can be securely screwed to the wall / ceiling. Metallic counterparts then adhere magnetically to this pot magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
With lower adhesive forces you can also use these pot magnets with ferrite core. The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. The strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.

Our magnets are also used on the construction site.
A customer sent us the following application to measure tools on an excavator.
Magnets on construction site
I drive a VOLVO crawler excavator which is equipped with a 2D laser and 3D GPS control.
Each attachment (bucket) must be precisely measured over the main pivot axis at the end of the boom (length, width, the opening and closing angle). A centering hole is made on both sides in the center of the bolt.
In order to position the magnet exactly on the bolt, I turned a centering point on an M8 screw, a plumb bob is now attached to the other end of the screw and can easily measure the required points without outside help.
As you can see in today's application, our magnets are not only suitable in the household or in the garage, but also on large construction sites on large machines. Our magnets convince with their strength, attraction and durability! They are reliable and keep their promises!
The special thing about a pot magnet is that its adhesive force is increased by a metal pot. The magnetic core is in this so that the adhesive surface remains free. Therefore, the adhesive force only acts on one side of the magnet. The pot changes the magnetic flux and thus increases the force. As a result, even relatively small magnets stick very strongly. Pot magnets are versatile and suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications to transport steel and iron parts. That is why one also speaks of deep pot. Such magnets are also very suitable for strong and quickly removable fastenings without drilling. Whether for trade fair and shop construction, as assembly magnets in private households, for hobby applications and other purposes.

Sloping roof cabinet with magnetic door-holder
Our customer explains today how to build a sloping roof cabinet with magnetic door holder.
Sloping roof cabinet with magnetic door-holder
With the help of your magnets, we have implemented the construction of a Jumbo cupboard. This was built under the sloping roof without complicated hinge doors.
To do this, you need a sloping roof adapter (e.g. from Hardware store), a wooden strip, a plastic strip as a "stopper" on the floor and the matching wooden boards or doors (here from Ikea) and of course screw-on magnets.
We took larger diameters of the magnets on the wooden strip (to be on the safe side, because the construction was 5 m long) and then slightly smaller ones on the doors. If you didn't do that, the slot at the top would be bigger. However, this can also be an advantage if, for example, you attach an LED light strip behind it and thus have indirect lighting.
The self-made cabinet doors hold securely.
The construction can be opened and closed again very easily by pulling down the door from top to bottom.
It is always difficult to make usefull use of the space under the sloping ceilings. As furniture often has to be specially made for it. These are usually very expensive and can only be implemented by experts. Our customer shows us how it can be done inexpensively but very professionally way.
Magnetically decorating the children's bed
Do you want to give the cot more color without painting the expensive piece? Design the cot magnetically to your heart's content.
Magnetically decorating the children's bed
creative and interchangeable
A convertible bed decoration for children can be wonderfully realized with the help of self-adhesive magnetic strips. Glue the magnetic strips under the ceiling and then, depending on the decoration, wrap small magnets in the fabric and then attach them invisibly. Or you can use magnetic hooks and then let something hang down on the wall.
Light decorations such as an inflatable star or fluorescent stars and planets can be stretched across the bed using nylon thread and 2 magnetic hooks.
Has your child seen enough of the decorations? No problem! There are no holes. Thanks to the magnets it gives flexibility.
Stay flexible and adapt the decorations on the bed to the current season. Children's eyes light up. Your child feels comfortable in his realm.
Our magnetic bars can be attached to any non-metallic surface thanks to its adhesive back. The assembly of the magnetic strips is quick and easy. To attach a strip, use the adhesive strip or the adhesive dots on the back that are included in the scope of delivery or are already on the back of the magnetic strip of your choice.
Thank you for submitting this "creative" idea.
Dish sponge always handy!
Dish sponge always handy! ... you want it to be always close, but you don't want it lying in the sink either. It doesn't get dry there and it doesn't look nice.
Our customer has the perfect solution to this problem.
Dish sponge always handy!
Simply scratch the kitchen sponge with a knife and slide the first magnet into the slot. Stick the second magnet to the outside of the sink with double-sided adhesive tape.
Done - now the sponge is always ready to hand and dry!
The dishwashing sponge is one of the most popular dishwashing detergents and can be used in many ways. It often has two different sides. Handling the right side is essential for thorough cleaning, but also to protect sensitive surfaces.
In order to reduce the exposure to harmful germs, you should always wash the sponges well and wring them out while they are in use. The faster the sponge dries, the better.
Therefore, this invisible sponge holder comes together perfectly!
Of course, you are also free to purchase a suitable holder or storage option for the sponge. Usually, however, these take up too much space on the counter or have to be screwed on. With magnets you not only save space, you also save work.
Floral decorations on tuxedo
A customer from Austria uses our products to attach floral decorations on tuxedos and thus also to protect the fabric.
Floral decorations on tuxedo
At the Juristenball in Vienna I am responsible for decorating the men of the opening committee with flowers.
We always fastened them with pins, but some of the young men didn't want the lapels of their tuxedos or tails to be "damaged" by the holes that were created.
So I came up with a solution with magnets: Blockmagnet 20.0 x 5.0 x 2.0 mm N40 epoxy - holds 1.4 kg.
I sewed two of them into a black ribbon and then simply clipped them over the lapel with the carnation in between.
The system has proven itself very well! No more damaged tuxedos!
As we find - a very useful application!
If you have attached the flower at an angle, you can simply move the magnets. In the case of a needle, on the other hand, this would require a new hole.
The main difference and what sets a tuxedo apart from a suit is the satin. Tuxedos are worn with a bow tie and suits with or without a tie. Tuxedos have satin lapels. Which can even be of a different shade, while suits have lapels made of the same fabric.

Students at the Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle have implemented a very special installation: Light installation as an art project with our support.
Art project with our support
Project:
As a student project in the design department at Burg Giebichenstein Art College Halle (Saale), we use a light source and a slowly rotating mirror plane to visualize a light cycle that takes place on a given radial projection surface.
Use of magnets:
To create a projection surface for the light cycle, a strip of parchment paper is attached to a metal ring (3 m in diameter). Only the paper and not the suspension are now in the foreground.
The light source shines on the mirror, which reflects on both sides and rotates slowly. A cycle of light is visualized on the large parchment ring.
Used magnets:
Small blockmagnets 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.2 mm N50 nickel - holds 450 g are used to attach the parchment paper to the metal ring.
With these, the paper is attached to the metal ring from the inside at regular intervals.
You can find a video of the installation here on Vimeo.

We are very happy to have been useful and helpful to the students with their idea!
The project is fascinating - amazing! The effort and work was definitely worth it and we got a great thumbs up from us!
Magnetic elimination of bottle chaos in the shower
You want to shower, but you can hardly go into the shower because of all the bottles, but now you can magnetically eliminate the bottle chaos in the shower.
Order in the shower in next to no time
In order to remove the chaos of bottles standing on the floor in the shower consisting of shower bath, shampoo, conditioner, I ordered Ringmagnet Ø 10.0 x 4.0 x 5.0 mm N42 Gold - holds 2.2 kg from you, pulled a hair tie through and then pulled the tie over the bottles.
Magnetic elimination of bottle chaos in the shower
I was able to hang it up on the wall radiator, there is nothing left on the floor.
They are available in all colors, models and materials. Made of plastic or metal. For screwing on, with suction cups and for gluing. The shower organizers and storage aids from the Store are not always the right thing, despite the diverse selection. They slip off, the coating comes off, they rust, and annoying holes have to be drilled. Or they simply don't offer enough space for all the bottles. In order to avoid having to purchase several organizers, there is a remedy with our products.
With our magnets you can create your own customized organizer.
Many thanks to our customers for submitting this useful magnet application.

The fact that our magnets can be used excellently to bring important things closer to children is proven by the use of the Raben group in the KITA Werl, the children learn how to use magnets.
First of all for all imitators: Please do not use neodymium magnets for this! Because of the high forces, it is very easy for children to injure themselves.
Ferrite magnets are therefore used in the application.
Children learn to use magnets
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
Participation is the big topic of the group of ravens (16 children in different age groups) of the Kiebitzweg day care center in the Werl Nord family center this calendar year.
The children learn to participate in decision-making, to make decisions and to endure them. Our calendar should help you with this.
Every morning we discuss the actions for the day in the morning session. The children learn the names of the months, days of the week and the date on the side.
Pictograms symbolize the individual activities. These are hung up by the children on the respective day. With the help of their own symbol, the children mark their participation in the activities.
For us the question arose how we should attach the signs and pictograms to the boards. It had to be a flexible material, meet safety requirements and be robust.
Laminated images were attached to the magnet with double-sided adhesive tape and swept back and forth in a test run.
The strong adhesive force of the discmagnets Ø 25.0 x 3.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 750 g, and the symbols have convinced us!
The pictures stick during the week so that each child can look at their decision. At the end of the week, a child takes a photo with which we document our calendar in a photo book.
For us, the magnets are a good solution to securely attach materials.
Impressively present memories
Today we will show you how you can present your memories impressively.
In 2015 I started to record my "best moments" on postcards. Also souvenirs like entrance tickets. So I can enjoy it every day, I used my long staircase to see every year as a timeline.
To attach it to my wall (woodchip wallpaper), I ordered Self-adhesive metal tape, white, width 35 mm, sold by the meter, from you.
I used cubemagnets 5.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 1.5 kg to fix the photos.
I used the "Touchnote" app for the postcards.
My friends and I are so excited. I would also like to record the third year (2017) on postcards and hang up as a new strip.
A wonderful idea to present your photos in your own apartment.
The metal band used is very flexible. With the help of magnets, you can easily attach pictures, postcards, notes, children's drawings, posters, business cards, etc.
The tape is equipped with a self-adhesive padding foam on the back. No drilling of holes in the walls is necessary for fastening!
It can be glued around corners without any problems. It also holds up on rough walls. Remove the protective film on the back. Glue the tape on the desired surface.
You are also welcome to cut the tape to a length of your choice yourself. You only need conventional household scissors for this.
Fastening of block magnets using cable ducts

Our customer has made a fastening of block magnets using cable ducts. No, no words are swapped in the previous sentence - it is actually like that :-)
If you have already asked yourself the question: - you will get the answer here!
Fastening of block magnets using cable ducts
Now that I have placed some orders with you, I have now found a good and easy-to-implement solution for attaching blockmagnets.
In my case it was about that 2 opposing garbage can doors attract each other with a distance of approx. 2 cm and thus hold them magnetically.
Previous attempts with different magnets to screw on or magnet systems failed because the magnetic force was too weak. Pot magnets don't attract flush and the diameter would have been too big in my case.
I used a cable duct from Reehau 35 x 25 mm with the inside dimensions of the size of the blockmagnet 30.0 x 30.0 x 15.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 32 kg.
The magnet was simply pushed into the channel. This holds by clamping. On the underside of the channel I drilled holes at the appropriate distance for fastening with screws.
I saw an advantage of fastening with the cable duct in the ease of processing without damaging the magnets.
This mounting option can be transferred to some of the other sizes offered by you.
This then opens up many other possible applications in which the compact rectangular magnets can be used. Regardless of whether there is a sheet steel or a second magnet opposite.
Cable ducts can now be obtained very cheaply in every hardware store (2 to 8 EUR / 2 m), which can be compared with the respective internal dimensions.
Loading space expansion
Our customer has built a suitable cargo space extension for his caddy with the help of our magnets.
Loading space expansion
Vehicles with a larger cargo space can be heavily loaded with heavy objects, e.g. boxes. They stand firmly on the felt, but are difficult to push or can even destroy it.
I remedied myself with a 9 mm or 12 mm screen printing plate. This is waterproof and has a smooth surface.
The plate itself is held in position on the floor of the cargo space by means of holes. These engage in the locking mushrooms of the rear seat attachment (on my long axle with a third rear seat that can be equipped).
Lightly loaded transport goods slide back and forth easily and uncontrollably on the plate.
Magnetic expansion
Objective: Two self-made boxes (even equipped with light gliders on the bottom of the box for better movement) are to be fixed.
Used material:
2 x squared timber (hardwood beech) 20 x 20 x 1000 mm,
5 x 5 mm locking pins per wood (original for attaching board inserts in a wardrobe)
4 x Neodymium pot magnet Ø 16.0 x 4.5 mm, thread M6x8, holds 6 kg
Metal discs Ø 16 mm with hole and countersink nickel
Easy build up
As the pictures show, the pieces of wood are placed directly on the edge of the box. The locking pins form the actual hold of the delimitation by engaging in corresponding holes in the base plate.
Constantly hitting the box while driving would knock these holes out in a short time and push the wood away. With the addition of magnets, this remains firmly anchored.
Even if the pins are pushed slightly out of the holes by hard movements, the magnets immediately bring the wood back into position with the next countermovement.
Due to the pins, the magnets are not loaded in shear, but only in tension. The number of magnets ensures a hold over the entire width of the squared timber, even if it is not entirely free of distortion.
The recessed metal discs (with a Forstner drill) in the base plate are not an obstacle for loads lying flat.
If you remove the wood with the magnets when not in use, the base plate remains safe for objects that are "magnetically endangered" such as purses with an EC card or similar.
If you think further, several pieces of wood equipped in this way with a predetermined grid of holes in the base plate, can form variable fields. So even one or more folding boxes can be fixe. Iif necessary the entire, smooth surface is available.

In todays magnetic application we will present a magnetic attachment for an unusual lamp.
Even if you don't see the magnets at the end: Without it, it wouldn't work :-)
Magnetic attachment for an unusual lamp for the ceiling
Used material:
old wooden board 2 m long, 5 kg heavy (a bit sanded, glazed several times)
4 pieces ultra-flat LED recessed spots, warm white 3.5 W 230V swiveling
little cable and a few clips (electrician)
2 pieces of metal washer Ø 50 mm with hole and countersink zinc
2 pieces of neodymium pot magnet Ø 32.0 mm x 8.0 mm with countersink holds 30 kg
With a 5-foot (2.12m) room height in a small kitchen, there aren't too many options for beautiful lighting. The common hardware store offer was unacceptable and so it was time to tinker.
I was allowed to fetch the board from the neighbour's old wood shed and order the spots online. The electrician pointed out to me that I would then not be able to attach the board directly to the ceiling, since even ultra-flat LEDs generate little heat.
Magnets as a means of attachment were immediately in the head, but how exactly?
A call to the magnet-shop and the friendly and competent advice from the employee in the office there was worth gold!
The metal disc is 5 mm high, the pot magnet with 8 mm high, i.e. a total distance to the ceiling of 13 mm - sufficient distance for this type of lamp.
The placement of the two zinc discs was measured and then dowelled directly into the ceiling.
In the direct test, I was only able to remove the pot magnet from the plate with pliers and it was very difficult, so I had papered over it and painted it twice. The weight of the long board is distributed with only 2 magnets, so I removed the wallpaper again.
The pot magnets were screwed onto the board at the point determined by the countersunk hole.
With the large hole drill (7.5 cm) 4 holes were drilled for the spots, these were inserted, wired by the electrician and then the whole thing was simply hung on the ceiling - of course, connected to the cable beforehand.
The finished ceiling lamp:
Holds firmly and securely, but due to the length you need 2 people for assembly or removal.
The electricians were enthusiastic about the solution with magnets and want to use this for difficult projects in the future as well. And I'm excited about my original ceiling light ...
... and we are excited about the great things our customers do with our products :)

Today we present another great application that a customer implemented with our strong neodymium magnets. Bottle caps on the fridge - always unique!
Bottle caps on the fridge – always unique!
Our daughter (11 years old) and actually the whole family, collects bottle caps of all kinds of drinks from different countries. We are now probably in possession of around 500 different bottle caps from maybe 10 countries.
There was always the question of how to present this collection decoratively. We ended up with our almost 2 m high (magnetic) refrigerator.
I looked for a possibility to attach the caps on to te fridge without damaging the surface. We want to be able to rearrange the caps at any time on it.
Of course, we came up with the idea of magnets and found what we were looking for.
I ordered 210 pieces of discmagnets Ø 5.0 x 5.0 mm N45 nickel, which now start on the upper refrigerator door and now also hold the collected works on the other side aswell. The first 210 magnets were quickly used up, the second load was needed. In the meantime, all the magnets have been used up and the bottle caps are collect in boxes, but should continue to improve the overall appearance of the refrigerator soon.
The choice fell on these small disc magnets, as there should be no distance to the wall. The magnets are actually a bit too short, but the force is enough to hold the caps.

Kitchen shelf knife holder
It always bothered me that my good knives on such magnetic steel knife holders got dull and scratchy. Since I keep my board right above the kitchen counter, I thought to myself, why not just let the knives stick to the shelf ?!
Said and done:
Mark the desired amount.
I used 10 blockmagnets 20.0 x 20.0 x 10.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 14.2 kg.
The distance between the knives should be at least 3cm. This makes it easier to grip the knife. At the same time it prevents the magnetic attraction of the knife next to it.
Drill holes in the wood with an 8 mm bit.
File the holes square.
The wood on the visible side must be filed thin enough for the knives to stick through the magnets.
(Steps 2 and 3 can be made easier by using a router.)
Glue in magnets into the shelf.
attach the processed magnetic board to the existing shelf.
Knife holders or knife blocks are very often built by our customers, here you will find some inspiration. We also offer knife blocks in our shop. You can find detailed building instructions for your own model here.
There are no limits to the creation of a knife holder! Design and build your own individual model too!

Magnetic tables for football and Co.
I used:
For the chipboard, Self-adhesive metal tape, white, width 35 mm, sold by the meter.
For the signs, the Magnetic tape self-adhesive on one side - 30.0 x 1.5 mm with TESA 4965.
Chipboard made of 66 cm x 42 cm x 19 mm, coated, with ABS edge.
Instructions for magnetic tables for club houses, offices, hobby rooms, club bars
I cut the magnetic tape to the required length and glued it to the back of the cards with the club logos.
A metallic counterpart was glued to the colored clamping plate under the numbers with the placements.
The card with the club logo sticks to the metallic counterpart and hides the white front of the metal band.
The metal band is flexible. With the help of magnets, you can easily attach pictures, postcards, notes, children's drawings, posters, business cards, etc.
The tape is equipped with a self-adhesive padding foam on the back. No holes are necessary for the attachment!
It can be glued around corners without any problems. It holds up on rough walls. Remove the protective film. Now and stick the tape on the desired area.
You are also welcome to cut the tape to a length of your choice yourself. You only need conventional household scissors for this.
We like to thank our customer for submitting his great and manageable magnetic idea!
The 5 best magnet applications for cars!
We present you the 5 best magnet applications for cars!
It's here again – the time for car and motorcycle enthusiasts! At tuning meets, car mechanics talk shop, motorcycle clubs roar with their "hot rods," and racing enthusiasts meet at the racetrack. Ideas are exchanged, and you're often amazed at how easily some things can be solved.
The 5 best magnet applications for cars!
5th place: Attaching portable lights to car trailers
Our customer's LED lights already had built-in magnets, but they were so weak that he added neodymium disc magnets. Now he has a securely held light in his trailer without using a single screw.
4th place: Magnetic foil replaces sunroof seal
Let's be honest: Who would have thought of a magnetic solution for this problem? Our customer, in any case, sealed a broken sunroof that no longer closes completely with magnetic foil.
3rd place: Pimp your car with our magnets! License plate attachment
What tuner hasn't experienced this problem: You have to unscrew the license plate in the morning and screw it back on in the evening. The next day, it's the same thing... after all, you want your car to be photographed often, but you don't want the license plate to appear everywhere.
So our customer simply used neodymium magnets to build a screwless mount for his license plate. This application lands on the podium in our opinion.
2nd place: Magnetic attachment of a darkening
To protect your motorhome or caravan from the elements, you should cover it whenever possible. We've all been there: When you're stretching the tarp with a cord, it rips, the cord is almost always missing, and it doesn't look good anyway.
With magnets, you can avoid all these problems! Our second place!
First place: Magnetic navigation system attachment, and you're ready to go!
In first place because it's so simple and yet so helpful.
Attaching a navigation system to a motorcycle is always difficult. There's no room where you want it, and where it should be, it's a nuisance. Our customer found a magnetic solution to this problem and simply attached the navigation system directly to the tank.
Do you also have an innovative idea that you can implement with our magnets? Then let us know. We'll reward every published application with a €25 voucher!

The cover of his enormous collection of Blu-Ray covers is presented here magnetically.
Hello Magnetshop team,
After my collection of Blu-ray films had reached a certain size, I started to think about how to present the many beautifully designed covers in a sensible way, since normal storage on the shelf became a bit too boring and confusing.
Some ideas, such as building a shelf similar to a video store or attaching metal strips to the wall and working on the films with magnets, did not bring the desired suitability for living spaces.
Blu-ray cover presented magnetically
The solution: magnetic paint!
I don't think I need to explain a lot about the procedure, the pictures speak for themselves.
It is important to ensure that only a sufficiently thick layer of the paint is applied. For me it was about 4-5 coats until the covers with 3-4 of the self-adhesive, very flat blockmagnets that are available in the shop adhere firmly to the wall and certainly do not slip off. Even after a few weeks nothing has shifted. The handling with removing and attaching is very easy. Very nice!
The reactions of the visitors also speak for themselves. Everyone is thrilled! At first I thought that the large area looked a little too "powerful", but that's not the case. Everything fits in well with the overall picture and it just couldn't be clearer.
Now I am glad I did it and I wish all possible imitators a lot of fun with the idea!

The following application shows how you can magnetically fix solar LEDs without cables or screws.
Fix the solar LEDs magnetically
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
I am a solar LED fan and have a beautiful metal and glass canopy. For lighting in the evening I have installed 15 solar LED lamps (for weather protection reasons below the glass).
I used your neodymium pot magnets with internal thread to attach it to the metal. I was able to screw the plastic fastening for the LED lamps into this without any problems.
The LED lamps are attached to the steel girders with one click. If necessary, these can be easily removed and reattached at any time. (e.g. for painting the metal carrier)
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot: The strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature: These magnets have a central hole with a continuous metric thread. Objects with external threads such as screws can be screwed to the holding magnet so quickly. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. Pot magnets are indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.

Our magnet application today shows how you can use magnets to transport figures in model making safely without damaging them.
Dear Magnet-Shop team,
I bought a small amount of neodymium magnets from you and recently had the opportunity to install them.
I am thrilled with how well I was able to move my carrying case with your magnets.
The magnets can be glued precisely, are identical in size and have a remarkable power.
I come from the field of model making and tabletop. A major focus of this hobby is to design and paint figures and bring them to joint meetings.
Most of the time, such models can be conveniently transported in foam.
Some figures differ in dimensions. Fine and protruding links also cause problems during transport. The models that fit into the gaps are also exposed to vibrations.
Damage could be caused.
Transport figures in model making safely thanks to magnets
A simple case from the hardware store, which I covered with iron plates and equipped with iron carrying surfaces in the interior, provided a remedy for me.
The magnets can be easily processed with superglue and fit precisely under the standing surfaces of the figures. In this way, I was able to make dozens of models transportable in a short time.
The strength of the magnets is sufficient. It prevents the figures from moving. When loading and unloading the stand areas, they no longer overturn.
I am very happy with the result and will be shopping with you again in the future.

Our customer has created a unique presentation wall for his beer caps from wood, a CNC milling machine and magnets.
Beer caps
Hello Magnet Shop Team! Thank you for the fast delivery of 460 discmagnet Ø 10.0 x 7.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 350 g.
A friend of mine needed a presentation wall for his niece and her bottle cap collection. (Bierkapp`l)
I got a strong sheet of plywood and machined it with the CNC router.
There is space for 450 magnets on the board. Crown corks can be easily placed thanks to the milled-out openings, similar to the neck of a bottle.
Magnets are simply pressed into the cutouts. The board was impregnated with wood oil.
There are many options for upcycling crown corks. Jewelery, decoration, picture frames but also beer trees are made from it.
In some countries, bottle caps are used, among other things, as game pieces in checkers. Crown corks can be used for mills or other games in which two different colored game pieces are in use.
Germany has various charitable collection campaigns for crown corks. These are sold and the proceeds are donated to charitable organizations. Anglers use bottle caps to scale the fish. With the smooth surface attached to a piece of wood, the crown cap offers the perfect grip.

Our magnets are useful in a shooting club; the targets are attached magnetically.
I would like to introduce you to my idea for using your magnets. I am a marksman and a member of a marksmen's club.
We always had problems attaching our targets. The mounts were shot and made unusable.
Using nails on the disk supports was no alternative. That's how I came up with the idea of magnets.
Magnetically attached
The discmagnets Ø 9.0 x 5.0 mm N50 nickel - holds 2.4 kg and were glued in with a 9 mm cartridge case. Sheet metal strips are glued onto the Styrodur pane carriers using silicone. Targets are attached to it.
Your magnets helped a lot and I received a lot of encouragement from my fellow shooters.
Thanks. This application has proven successful.
Our disc magnets are extremely highly magnetized. The neodymium-iron-boron used turns even small disks into power magnets.
Most of our neodymium disc magnets are axially magnetized. Some discs are diametrically magnetized. The nice thing about neodymium magnets with zinc, nickel or copper coating is their weather resistance.
In addition, these can also be used in extreme areas. Their use is very versatile. We offer neodymium discmagnets from 1.0 mm up to 100.00 mm in our online shop.

Waterproof magnets for balcony protection
Hello Magnet Shop,
the balconies of our apartment building have new wrought iron railings. The goal was; to attach a uniform privacy screen that does not interfere with the look and is easy to clean.
Solution: with which everyone is satisfied, consists of translucent acrylic glass, which is simply pressed onto the railing with magnets.
The magnets must be weatherproof. A large number of the following magnets were then used: Neodymium magnet 25.4 x 12.7 x 6.3 mm with plastic coating- black - 3.8 kg
For a total of 6 balconies!
Waterproof magnets with high adhesive force thanks to neodymium
All neodymium magnets are completely covered with plastic. They have a robust coating and have the following advantages:
Magnets can be used in water or damp environments without any problems.
They are completely enclosed by a PP coating.

Acoustic elements attached magnetically in the recording studio.
Magnetic remedy
During the acoustic expansion of a recording studio with control room and recording room, broadband absorber elements had to be fixed under the ceiling.
Acoustic foam panels are glued into the ceiling.
This has several disadvantages: On the one hand, the plates are firmly fixed and cannot be flexibly removed or modified. On the other hand, the foam in its delivered form is not really attractive and homely.
Studio rooms should be visually attractive and inspiring.
The absorber elements with a size of 100 x 50 cm were self-built, with an acoustically effective Basotect board of 100 x 50 x 10 cm, a rear wall made of birch plywood 4 mm and acoustic covering material.
The ceiling was fixed with the help of a magnetic construction, which was easy to implement and works perfectly.
Neodymium pot magnets Ø 16.0 x 5.0 mm with countersink holds 5 kg, as well as matching counterparts metal disc Ø 16 mm with hole and countersink nickel, both from the magnet-shop.net offer.
Here you can use 1 to 4 discs.
Acoustic elements attached magnetically
After marking the magnet position on the birch plywood board, the panes were screwed to the ceiling.
In this case it was not a problem. The ceiling is already clad with a wooden structure. You can get by without dowels or other complicated constructions.
The flat grippers were attached to the back of the elements with simple Spax screws.
To be on the safe side, 4 times 2 magnets were attached to each element. This has the following advantage: any unevenness in the panels and ceiling are evened out.
Now the element must be carefully guided to the counterparts from below. Discs and magnets match exactly. The element is held firmly and sits absolutely firmly and securely.

If the patio door opens with every little gust of wind, it can get on your nerves really quickly. That is why, our customer build a magnetic closure for it the help of our products.
Hello,
today I would like to present my magnet application:
The door to the patio was always pushed open by the wind when it was ajar in summer.
We have already had to replace the mechanical "holders" because they no longer held the door shut.
Magnetic closure for patio-doors
At first he installed the Ringmagnets with the sizes Ø 20.0x4.5x4.0 mm including the metal discs onto the frame, he made sure to install them at the same height into the gaps. After that, he fixed the magnets with the matching screws.
Now the patio-doors keep shut when needed due to the adhesive force of the used magnets.
This magnet application is very easy to build and very reliable.
This ring magnet with a 90 ° counterbore made of neodymium can be screwed on securely with a countersunk screw. The 4.5 mm hole is designed for a screw with a diameter of 4 mm.
This magnet has the north pole on the depression side.
Note: You cannot use two of these magnets in pairs, i.e. the magnets do not stick to one another with the countersunk side, but repel each other.
To use this type of magnet in pairs, you need the following magnet as a counter magnet: Ringmagnet Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore south.
If this magnet should only stick to metal, the direction of magnetization / polarity is irrelevant.
Note: If too much force is applied, neodymium magnets can break. We recommend a maximum tightening torque of 2 Nm when screwing on this magnet.

A perfect solution to attach a blind on the balcony without drilling is to fix it magnetically.
Magnetic fastening of a blind on a balcony
For a long time I thought about how I could protect my neighbors and vice versa.
Actually, I wanted to use a fan blind. Unfortunately that was not possible. Drilling outside is prohibited in the rental agreement. The insulation must not be damaged.
The magnetic variant was the solution.
I bought a bamboo blind, cut it to the right size and attached it to my balcony with the help of the magnets.
I work in a large fashion house. Here we use your magnets.
For safety reasons and to use the blind, please use an eyelet magnet Ø 25 mm NEODYMIUM - zinc - holds 22 kg.
Please note the size and length of the blind!
I attached the magnets to the suspension of the blind with a key ring.
It took me less than half an hour for the complete assembly and suspension.
It took me the longest time to shorten the blind.
I wish you a lot of fun with the design and joy in the newly created feel-good area!
Function of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot and screwed-in eyelets:
A strong neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force.
In order to be able to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the flat gripper must lie directly on the metallic substrate. A thin sheet of iron or a coating can very quickly reduce the adhesive force.

MAGNETIC HOLDER FOR DOLLS
Ferrite magnets: Inexpensive and very robust
Ferrite magnets are the cheapest magnets for simple applications. Compared to neodymium magnets, they are significantly weaker. They can withstand temperatures of up to 250 ° C. In addition, these are rust-resistant. They are suitable for outdoor use.
You will find a large number of different sizes in our range. Our hard ferrite magnets are ceramic materials. They are very hard and brittle. The areas of application cover a wide range of possibilities.
You can find ferrite magnets on fridge magnets. They are also often used as school magnets or handicraft magnets. These magnets are all-round helpers.
All ferrite magnets from our shop are axially magnetized. You will find a well-stocked selection of practical, inexpensive and handy ferrite discs in our range.

Magnetically fasten the radio with the motion detector
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
Thank you for your delivery of the ringmagnets with countersink.
For a long time I had thought about how to put my radio with motion detector back on the ceiling in the bathroom. In order to be able to charge the batteries, the fastening must be removable again. Unfortunately, one bracket had already broken off.
A radio with a motion detector should be positioned fairly precisely, otherwise the motion detector will not detect the correct area.
I came across magnets and your side. I ordered 3 magnets. The possibility of screwing these on is perfect. Thanks to the strength, only one magnet was needed. My radio stops again.
Magnets with a hole and a countersink for screwing on have one or two holes with a countersink so that the block magnets can be screwed on using countersunk head screws. Thanks to the flat design, the magnets hardly appear. They have good adhesive strength. The magnets are magnetized by their height (axial magnetization).
There are of course a large number of possible uses for this type of magnet. For trade fair and shop fitting or kitchen or furniture construction.
You can also use it to attach signs, tools and metallic objects in a bombproof manner.

The blockmagnet 20.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - M3 countersunk hole were then screwed on with countersunk screws.
In the middle of this magnet has a 3.5 mm hole with countersunk for an M3 screw so that you can screw on the magnet.
Use in pairs is not possible. The North Pole is always on the subsidence side. The magnets repel each other.
So that the neodymium magnets do not break or splinter, simply sink the magnets into the workpiece and protect the raw magnet from direct hits.
So that the magnets are invisible, the magnets could also be attached under the foam rubber.
For larger objects you should use several magnets. Also stronger like the blockmagnet 60.0 x 20.0 x 4.0 mm N35 nickel with 2 countersunk holes.
This block magnet made of neodymium with two 4.5 mm countersunk holes and nickel coating. This flat magnet (height 4 mm) can be screwed onto components or non-magnetic surfaces with two countersunk screws.
You can use several variants as a screw. Slotted screws with countersunk head for wood, machine screws, countersunk screws with Torx or hexagon socket are suitable.
The top diameter for the screw head is: 9.46 mm.

Our customer has made a unique present for his father for his birthday: Magnetic knife holder made of cherry wood - a unique gift.
Magnetic knife holder made of cherry wood
For this I got myself 3 planks. These were dressed by the carpenter and cut into 20 mm strips.
The waste was quite large. However, it was sufficient to produce two panels of the required dimensions.
After the rough cut, the miter was cut for the stand and the positions for the magnets were drawn in.
PROCESSING
The holes for the magnets are so deep that only 3 mm of wood remained. I could no longer drill the middle holes with the drill stand because its overhang is too small. That's why the cordless screwdriver was used.
I used 37 discmagnets Ø 15.0 x 5.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 4.8 kg, which were glued in with assembly adhesive.
Then the front and back were glued together.
I used a leftover piece of cabinet back wall to mill the radius. Here I screwed a piece of 20 mm round rod onto it so that it fit into the bank holes. Fortunately, there was a hole at the correct distance from the cutter.
After that I just had to glue, sand and oil the foot. For oiling I used Clou hard oil and applied about 7 layers.

Do you want to sore your knives tidy and safe in the kitchen? Today show you how to do it.
Knives in the kitchen
Everyone knows the elongated knife headers. These do not offer much leeway with regard to the flexible division of the knives.
Another possibility are our ringmagnets with countersink, which can be screwed flush to the wall.
Self-adhesive rubber discs were glued to the magnets to protect the knives from scratches. The washers cover the fastening screw.
For the storage of high-quality and sharp blades, you should only use magnetic knife holders with punctiform support. Here the blade is not pulled over unnecessary edges by knife blocks.
Even magnetic wooden strips come into contact with the blade when it is put on and taken off.
Our self-adhesive rubber caps / rubber discs/ rubber sheets offer protection for sensitive surfaces. The rubber discs and plates can be stuck to magnets simply by peeling off the protective film. After slipping over the rubber lip, our rubber caps made of black rubber hold on to the adhesive side of the pot magnets, hook magnets and eyelet magnets.
The magnets for screwing have a counterbore hole so that the ring magnets can be screwed on with countersunk screws. The magnets are magnetized by their height (axial magnetization).
There are of course a large number of possible uses for this type of magnet. For trade fair and shop fitting and kitchen or furniture construction. You can also use it to attach signs, tools and metallic objects in a bombproof manner.

Magnetically gather curtains
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
I would like to present my application to everyone, because I find your magnet blog very helpful and super interesting, maybe my application can help other customers!
My idea: gather curtains without drilling or gluing - but magnetically.
I had the problem that I couldn't get my curtains up. It should have been drilled or glued into the wall to attach hooks.
Of course, I wanted to avoid this effort.
I also wanted to gather the curtains differently and the ingenious solution was your neodymium magnets!
Then I sewed a round discmagnet into each of the shirring bands. Sewing in is very quick and it is very easy!
With these ruffles I can now gather my curtains in different ways:
When the curtains are closed in the evening, I hang the ribbons on top of the curtain rod!
Although the cotton fabric is quite thick (4 layers), the magnets hold great, even though they are quite small. In addition, they are not noticed at all.
I've never been so flexible when it comes to designing my curtains! Every visitor is enthusiastic about the idea and are amazed that there are such small, but very, very strong magnets. I then always refer to your online shop.
The best thing about these magnetic solutions? NO more ugly hooks or glue residue on the wall!

Magnetically attach the tablecloth to the table
Here is an example of an ingenious application outdoors:
Hello Magnet Shop Team
I recently bought countersunk ring magnets from you to create a fixture for tablecloths on my patio table.
The table has a heavy steel frame with a post-industrial design. The cute tablecloth holders that are available everywhere did not fit.
Steel screws (24 mm) cut off head
painted
Drill 20 mm indentations into the table top and insert the ring magnets
fasten with a countersunk screw
And the tablecloth holders are ready!
Magnets with hole and countersink for screwing on
The magnets have a counterbore hole so that they can be screwed on using countersunk head screws. They have good adhesive strength. They are magnetized by their height (axial magnetization).
There are of course a large number of possible uses for this type of magnet. In trade fair and shop construction or in kitchen or furniture construction. You can also use it to attach signs, tools and metallic objects in a bombproof manner.
The round pot magnets made of neodymium with a countersunk hole are also very often used, the metal pot of which protects the built-in neodymium magnet from damage.

For his jersey, our customer wanted a method of material-friendly fastening that was gentle on the material.
When a pre-purchased product does not work as expected, it is always very annoying.
The following application is an example of this and this great idea is presented by our customer.
Innovative attachment option
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I bought a jersey frame and the jersey was supposed to be fixed on a foam board with pins, but the pins do not hold.
For this reason I bought discmagnets from you. These are with metal discs on the other side of the non-magnetic foam board that hold the jersey.
Over time, I will observe whether the size ordered is sufficient and the jersey does not slowly slide down due to gravity.
If the jersey does slide further down, I have to replace the foam board with a painted steel sheet in order to get a stronger magnetic connection. I hope you find my application interesting and innovative!
Metal discs with hole and countersink as a counterpart to magnets
Have you often been annoyed in the past that you could not attach certain magnetic elements to walls and ceilings? Use round metal discs with a central hole and countersink. A countersunk head screw is required for attachment.
The installation is quite simple, as you only have to screw the metal discs to non-magnetic surfaces with a countersunk screw. The magnets then adhere to these discs, whereby the latter are not magnets directly. You should definitely keep this in mind. The function of these small and so useful discs is simply to act as a point of attraction for magnetic objects. For this reason, you can also screw the metal discs onto surfaces that are non-magnetic.

Notebook holder for stylus
Hello Magnet-Shop Team,
attached a few pictures of my magnetic pen holder for my VAIO convertible laptop.
Unfortunately, the laptop does not offer the option of accommodating the corresponding input pen on or in the housing of the laptop as standard.
That's why I attached 2 strong blockmagnets inside the laptop with double-sided adhesive tape in a small space in the case.
There is a battery inside the pen. I can magnetically attach the stylus to the casing of my laptop. The bracket is not visible from the outside.
From the outside, the pen holds the case wonderfully and with a pleasant pulling force. Removing the stylus can be easily and it does not fall off. Fits perfectly under the protrusion of the case. It only covers the SD card slot and the headphone input / output.
Now the annoying search for a suitable storage option is over. Thank you for this idea!
For most of our block magnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces. Like our neodymium disc magnets, these cuboids also fall into the category of “super magnets made of neodymium”.
Magnets made from the raw material neodymium-iron-boron are called super magnets. Compared to conventional magnets, super magnets made of neodymium have a significantly higher adhesive force. You can hold a much larger weight.

Stylish presentation: Elegant floating
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
I am happy to describe how I used the rodmagnets I ordered from you:
I wanted to present some fine and high quality knives. No hooks or fastenings should be seen. They should "float elegantly" in front of the surface.
I used a 16 mm thick wooden board. I drilled holes at the necessary intervals. The magnets are carefully tapped in with the rubber mallet.
The knives hold perfectly! They don't slip off.
I am already planning a few other things that I love to use magnets again to solve.
We are happy about this elegant idea! Thanks very much!
The advantage of our neodymium bar magnets is their easy handling. Thanks to their elongated shape, they are easy to grasp! By stringing together individual magnets, you can put together bar magnets made of neodymium in any length. Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some designs are diametrically magnetized. In this category we offer you high quality neodymium bar magnets in different sizes, which you can buy from us at low prices!

Our customer created a wonderful flexible magnetic table lamp from a simple one! The optimal accompaniment in the workshop.
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I built a magnetic base light for my band saw from your neodymium pot magnets.
A simple Jansjö LED table lamp and three neodymium pot magnets with internal threads were used.
Flexible table lamp
The base plate is made of V2A non-magnetic. The work light also holds great in the vertical position! This application is very diverse! The magnetic base light can of course be used anywhere as lighting.
How the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot work:
Our strong NdFeB magnets are installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to be able to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must lie directly on the metallic substrate. A thin sheet of iron or a coating can very quickly reduce the adhesive force.
Specialty:
These magnets have a central hole with a continuous metric thread. These can be screwed on quickly with screws. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Its magnetic force depends on the material of the magnetic core. The weakest variant is ferrite. It is robust and can also be used outdoors. Neodymium magnets and SmCo magnets are considered high-energy magnets.
Both variants are alloys with rare earths.

Magnetic board in the kitchen
Hello Magnet-Shop Team,
we recently moved. In the new kitchen there was an ugly tile mirror (10 x 10 cm tiles). This also had a linoleum covering.
We wanted to attach a magnetic board from Homapal as a tile mirror. Recipes or notes can be attached. This adhesive plate can be written on with a board marker.
We had a 25 cm decor (in the same color as the worktop) planned.
Ugly tiles and linoleum flooring will disappear!
About the project:
Cut small square holes in the linoleum
Drill a hole in the joint
Insert dowels and screw on blockmagnet with countersink
Caution - do not overtighten the screw! Damage could occur!
Attach the magnetic board to the magnets
Seal the corners and ends of the magnetic board with silicone
These magnets have one or two countersunk holes. You can attach the block magnets using countersunk screws. The magnets are very flat. They are hardly bulky. They have good adhesive strength. The magnets are magnetized by their height (axial magnetization).
There are of course a large number of possible uses for this type of magnet. These magnets are used in trade fair and shop fitting. Also in kitchen or furniture construction. You can also use it to attach signs, tools and metallic objects.

Magnetic pick-up of the cartridge cases after clay pigeon shooting is today's topic.
Ease of work: Magnetic pick-up
Hi there,
Here we show you an application with one of your strong neodymium discmagnets:
We attached the disc magnet to the end of a rod.
Our sport is clay pigeon shooting (also called clay pigeon shooting). This sport is practiced with semi-automatic shotguns. The empty cases are automatically ejected after the shot. These fly to the ground. Approx. 20-30 empty pods collect.
Picking up is a breeze using your magnet.
Pick up cartridge cases
Fortunately, the bottom cap of these pods is magnetic. Thanks to the rod construction, all sleeves can be picked up in next to no time. This application is wonderful! Very efficient. No more bending over!
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization transforms even the small discs into power magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium disc magnets. You don't even believe what you can use the super magnets for.
Most of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically. Their uses are unlimited. As a closure, pin board magnets, decoration or as mounting options in the workshop. Disc magnets are used everywhere. You can find some examples here!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to briefly document what we have created in our facility with the help of your memo magnets.
We have designed an information board in our after-school care facility to make it easier for parents and other persons who are authorized to collect a child to find it in the house.
The magnets were given the names of the children.
We run an “open house” in the afternoon. The children are in different rooms. So that the child's whereabouts are visible to everyone, they move their magnet into the appropriate column (for example: gym).
Each class has a different color, which makes orientation easier.
When a child is picked up, they put their magnet back into the field labeled with their class (1a, 2b ...). The children and parents can use pictures to see which teacher is in which room.
Our information board has been very well received by parents, children and educators and helps to improve the structure in the house.
Office magnets, organization magnets, memo magnets, office magnets, board magnets with ferrite core
The possible uses of our memo magnets with ferrite are almost unlimited. It is not for nothing that they are known under different names such as organization magnets, flipchart magnets, board magnets or - found in many households around the world - fridge magnets.
Our versatile classics not only convince with their great adhesive force and quality, but also impress with their looks. They often enjoy their area of activity in the learning and teaching environment. Magnetic boards in classrooms, teachers' rooms or university lecture halls can be used and equipped with ferrite using our memo magnets. They are part of the standard range of many educational institutions.

Our customer shows us today how a magnetic shutter of a pinhole camera was created from two small magnets.
Aperture shutter of a pinhole camera
With a pinhole camera, it is important that the shutter of a screen (= entry hole for the light) can be guided completely free from the housing and back there. This is very important. The film must be in the correct position. With this shutter implemented here, a ringmagnet is used on the inside and a discmagnet on the outside.
It's rustproof aluminum aperture itself is not magnetic. The ring magnet is inside. The disc magnet was worked into the purple cover cap. This results in an optimal attraction and holding force when guiding the cap back and forth. It just makes a quiet "clack"; And lasts great!
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. These are small power magnets due to the neodymium-iron-boron used.
Most of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically.

Crown cap collections are among Germany's most popular items. Time and again, the question arises, how do I best present my collection? With magnets, of course!
Our customer shows an elegant and super simple solution with his magnet application.
Crown cap collection
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
The history: I collect bottle caps. These come from beer or soda bottles. For a long time I was looking for an appropriate way to present them.
The requirements were: I didn't want to attach fasteners directly to the wall. The adhesion of the crown caps should be reversible. When the collection is enlarged, the specimens from the same region can subsequently be positioned in the immediate vicinity. Gluing the bottle caps was out of the question.
By chance I discovered in the magnet shop that there is a magnetic paint which, after being applied to a wall or something similar, serves as a primer for magnets. Commercially available artist's canvases were coated three to four times with the magnetic paint to create the primer. After light sanding with fine sandpaper, this was finished.
Crown caps are made of metallic material. The magnets adhere by themselves. The magnets were then attached to the inner surfaces of the crown caps and the crown caps adhere to the canvases.
They can be positioned appropriately and moved if necessary.
As a label, a magnetic tape was cut into suitable pieces and labeled with labels. This solution is easy to implement. An absolute WOW effect is guaranteed!

Thank you very much for sending us your idea!
Special thing about pot magnets is, that the holding force is increased by using a metal pot.
The pot changes the magnetic flux and thus increases the force. Even relatively small magnets adhere very strongly. These magnets are versatile and suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications for transporting steel and iron parts. Such magnets are also very suitable for strong and quickly detachable fastenings without drilling.

Magnetic display of postcards - elegantly
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
I have various uses for the small spherical magnets, for example to temporarily display postcards. They fix the cards inconspicuously and firmly enough, even with just one sphere. This works on a magnetic board and on nail heads. Nails were put into a bulletin board. The cards were attached to these nails. There are no holes.
I hammered dark nails into the brown board of my bookshelf. They are dark and almost invisible. Notes or postcards can also be attached here. I think that's great!
Neodymium magnetic spheres are versatile everyday helpers.
Thanks to their strongly adhesive neodymium magnetic surface, they are ideally suited as holders for objects of all kinds.
In addition, the sensitive magnets are coated with a special coating. With this you can choose between: nickel, chrome and gold.
It's coating protects the magnetic spheres from environmental influences.
Would you like to stick notes on your fridge? Attach notes and reminders to a pin board or whiteboard? - With the help of these pieces of jewelery, this can be done quickly and easily.
An advantage of neodymium magnets is that they have an enormous adhesive force in relation to their mass, but at the same time they can be removed without any problems.
The spheres are useful and challenge your creativity. The magnetic tension makes it possible to stack the spheres on top of one another. Sculptures can be put together and much more.

Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some designs are diametrically magnetized. We offer you high quality neodymium bar magnets in different sizes.

Plexiglass cover magnetically attached to mount LED lighting on the ceiling.
Plexiglas cover magnetically attached
Problem: I wanted to use the advantages of LED lighting in our living room. LED strips should be installed along a suspended ceiling structure. Unfortunately, there are not many possible solutions on the market yet. So I planned and carried out this myself.
Here our living room and the schematic representation of the lighting bar are shown in a CAD drawing.
The surrounding lighting strip can be seen in the ceiling construction (white area). This is a total of 17.5 m long.
I worked an aluminum profile into the Rigips substructure. The LED strips will later be glued into this aluminum rail.
For the cover I use 6 mm satined Plexiglas strips, which are attached to the Rigips substructure by means of blockmagnets and discmagnets in the Plexiglas.
Why is the magnet solution so ingenious?
Plexiglass has a thermal expansion that should not be underestimated (approx. 1.8 mm / m at a temperature of 25 ° C). With this combination of magnets, the plexiglass can expand. No magnetic adhesion is lost.
The magnets are arranged on both sides at a distance of approx. 25 cm and are glued into the substructure with epoxy glue and into the plexiglass with superglue. About 150 disc and 150 blockmagnets were used in this project.
In view of the specified holding forces of the magnets, the selection seems overdimensioned. Practical attempts revoke this. Not all magnets are 100% on top of each other. The force is applied vertically and laterally. The weight of the plexiglass bar must be borne. It shouldn't fall down when vacuuming.

A magnet therapeutic horse blanket for healing purposes is today's topic.
Magnet therapeutic horse blanket
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
I have used different sizes of your neodymium magnets for magnetic therapeutic purposes on horses.
So far, there is no suitable loop on the market to place magnets on a horse's knee joint.
That's why I pushed discmagnets into a 10 cm wide Velcro tape material. The distance is 5 to 8 cm.
I inserted the closed Velcro tape into a thin horse blanket with rivets. This reaches knee height and covers the spine area.
Discmagnets were attached to the inside of the bell with duct tape. Others were processed into Velcro ankle straps. My horse is very grateful for this application!
The magnetic field is intended to help patients who suffer from chronic orthopedic diseases such as tendons, ligaments or joint capsules. Not only sport horses that regularly take part in tournaments and are therefore in training suffer from diseases such as tendon problems or inflammation of the musculoskeletal system. Horses that are less challenged can also suffer from these or similar diseases.
Magnetic fields are supposed to naturally stimulate healing processes in the horse's body and relax muscles. Therapy blankets, magnetic field blankets or massage blankets for your horse offer you therapeutic support through magnetic fields and massage techniques during rehabilitation. They also serve as an aid to healthy exercise.

Magnetic arming tabletop characters with the help of our products.
Magnetic arming tabletop characters
Today I would like to introduce you to my magnet application:
It is a modularization of tabletop characters to adapt to different opponents.
With different models it is possible and also necessary to mount different weapon systems. There are also shields and support systems.
This is due to the rules. Normally these add-on parts are firmly glued to the model and many models with different equipment are required to be armed against any opponent.
By using small magnets, the models can be designed in a modular manner. A lot is saved.
In particular, the small neodymium blockmagnets are ideal for making weapons magnetic. They fit wonderfully into the existing openings on the model. In addition, these can be incorporated very nicely (on the right in the picture).
The attached parts always point in the right direction. (In contrast to the round magnets, these can only be rotated a few degrees)
Arms can be ideally attached to larger models with discmagnets. These hold the alignment position. (left and middle model).
A lot is possible even with very small parts; 2 mm magnets can be hidden very well on the model (bottom center, the small black point in the back).
They enable the optional attachment of a squad leader rucksack. Even heads can be made interchangeable in this way.
In addition to superglue, a drill and various milling cutters were used to install the magnets - easy and barely visible to the ignorant.
The larger discs make it easier to transport the figures. These were glued under the floor panels. In the transport case, I place this on its corresponding counterpart.

Our customer has an ingenious solution that he would like to share with us; Magnets against bicycle theft.
In today's application he shows you how you too can make things difficult for bicycle thieves!
Prevent bicycle theft with magnets
In order to secure thru axles on bicycle wheels against theft, I sunk a magnet into the Allen screw (note the size!).
Products used:
3x disc magnet Ø 5.0 x 5.0 mm N45 nickel (one per wheel)
1x disc magnet Ø 7.0 x 7.0 mm N40 nickel
This can be removed using a magnet. I have implemented this with a quick release set with a special 5-point wrench, of course it can also be used with normal Allen screws. In the picture you can see the screw for securing the saddle with a magnet and the larger magnet glued into the special key.
I think it is a good solution to prevent the occasional theft of the wheels. A thief is unlikely to have a matching key and magnet with him.
The Allen wrench, also known as a pin wrench, is a very simple tool. It is often added to furniture that you have to assemble yourself. It is an Allen key. This is used to tighten and loosen special screws.
The Allen screws are used to reach screw heads that are difficult to access. The Allen key can be used for machines and cabinet systems. Allen screws can also be found on bicycles. The Allen key can be countersunk together with the screw head. An Allen key screws the Allen screw without any additional support or holding tool.

Creative climbing with magnets
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I am a climbing trainer and look after a group of children aged 4-7 years. With children everything has to have a playful framework, otherwise it won't be interesting for long.
In January of this year I bought magnets from you, namely memo magnets made of neodymium.
- The diameter must be 10 mm. These must correspond to an M10 cylinder screw. The climbing holds are then screwed to the wall.
- The height must be 8 mm. These must not protrude too far over the handles. Falling down is prevented.
- These colors correspond to part of the colors of my color cube.
I now have the option to mark handles that will be used during an exercise:
1: a route: mark a series of holds to be climbed.
2: I distribute the magnets on the handles and the children are allowed to collect them. Who has the most
3: The magnets must be placed from one handle to the other. The magnet must move to the next higher handle.
4: Each child can pull a magnet, all of the same color form a team.
5: who can reach the furthest? The magnets make the success visible.
6: all handles that have been held with the hands are marked with the magnet and must no longer be touched with the feet.
At that time I had not yet suspected how versatile I can use these memo magnets for climbing games.
My only disadvantage; I only have 3 colors so far. I'll change that soon!

Today's application is a magnetic cover for the exhaust system of a motorcycle.
This consists of a metallic grid material.
Neodymium magnets are known for their incredible power, but they are not very heat-resistant. The maximum temperature is 80 ° C.
Our customer is enthusiastic about his application and is working on improving this application with samarium-cobalt magnets!
Magnetic cover for an exhaust system
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
I used the magnets to fix grid material to two covers of a motorcycle exhaust system.
Fixation points of the magnets were deep-drawn in the grid material. The magnets were glued in using heat-resistant silicone. The grille attached to the cover from the inside.
Magnets hold the grid on the steel.
This worked very well in the beginning.
When buying the magnets, I opted for the epoxy variant for weather protection.
The place of use of the magnets is of course extremely unfavorable with regard to the effects on them. In my opinion, heat, cold and moisture are a "tough test".
I will definitely add samarium-cobalt magnets to my application, as these are very heat-resistant and have the desired adhesive force.
Samarium-cobalt magnets (SmCo), like neodymium magnets, are rare earth magnets. There are two different types of alloys, SmCo5 with 36% samarium content and Sm2Co17 with 25% samarium content, which in addition to cobalt also contains iron (up to 18%) and copper (up to 12%).
SmCo magnets are very temperature resistant. The maximum operating temperature is 250 ° C (SmCo5) and 350 ° C (Sm2Co17).
The samarium cobalt magnets are quite resistant to demagnetizing magnetic fields and do not need to be protected against corrosion.

Attach the bike lock magnetically
With the help of two blockmagnets, I built a holder for my spiral lock on the bike.
Magnets were attached to the bike and the lock with the self-hardening silicone rubber "sugru".
Two packs of silicone rubber per magnet were used.
EASY INSTALLATION
Sugru was applied to the magnet. The magnet was pressed against the frame of the bike. It should be enclosed on all sides with the silicone rubber.
Let harden for 24 hours.
It's holding force is very important! The bike lock must not fall off the frame.
I recommend using block magnets instead of disc magnets.
Blockmagnet is better able to withstand the lever of the lock.
With most of our block magnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces.
Like our neodymium discmagnets, these cuboids also fall into the category of “super magnets made of neodymium”.
We offer the strong neodymium magnets with a nickel or epoxy coating. Magnets with a black epoxy coating are better suited for humid environments.
Sugru is the world's most versatile and creative glue that turns into rubber. Learn some basic methods.
Gluing: Sugru sticks permanently to numerous materials such as glass, ceramic, wood, metal and plastic.
Shapes: You have 30 minutes to repair, connect and create.
Cure: In 12 to 24 hours, Sugru transforms into a strong and durable silicone rubber that sticks.

Cutlery attached magnetically
Hello dear magnet shop team!
I recently moved. There is no drawer for the cutlery in my new kitchen. So I made a virtue out of necessity with the help of neodymium magnets and an aluminum sheet.
I glued a sheet of plywood to the back of the aluminum sheet (thickness 1 mm). The plate was provided with about 70 holes. I placed neodymium magnets in these holes. The back of the board was glued. This prevents the magnets from falling out. The sheet metal was attached to the wall. It was then decorated with my cutlery.
Raw magnets made of neodymium - real super magnets!
Neodymium magnets are also sold under the name neodymium-iron-boron or NdFeB magnets. It belongs to the rare earths.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest in the world. Even in small sizes of a few centimeters. We carry disc magnets, cone magnets, ring magnets, bar magnets, block magnets, cube magnets and spherical magnets.
The nice thing about neodymium magnets with zinc, nickel or copper coating is their weather resistance. The simple metallic beauty is not only a pleasure for figures made of spherical magnets. Perhaps you also use cone and discmagnets for magic, they are an unbeatable tool.

Magnetic LED starry sky on the glass patio roof
Hello friends from the magnet shop!
I attached an LED starry sky under the glass patio roof with hookmagnets.
A slightly stronger hook magnet was used for the old anchor lantern.
ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE
Highly recommended for imitation!
Function of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot and screwed-in hook:
A strong neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force.
In order to be able to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the flat gripper must lie directly on the metallic substrate.
A thin sheet of iron or a coating can very quickly reduce the adhesive force.
The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side.
Special feature: The hook is located on the back of the magnetic plate and is screwed into the existing threaded socket with an internal thread.
The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Often the neodymium eyelet magnets are also required, which you can also find here.
If you need a white coating and less adhesive force, you can use our white ferrite hook magnets.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fair and assembly construction.
The strong pot magnets have also become indispensable in the advertising / display construction / lighting sector.
When attaching objects to ceilings, our hook magnets are always popular.

Magnetic closure for knife case
Hello dear magnet shop team!
I used a small discmagnet from your range as a closure for my knife case. I keep a Japanese folding knife in it.
The magnet was glued to the leather. I don't need a counterpart for this application. The knife offers enough metallic surface.
When doing handicrafts and many other uses of magnets, they are glued to wood, plastic or other materials.
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization is caused by the neodymium-iron-boron used. Even the smallest discs become power magnets.
Most of our neodymium discmagnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically.
A magnetic lock is a locking system. Magnets are used instead of conventional locking systems. Magnetic closures offer the wearer the greatest convenience. Due to the magnetic force, closing and opening the lock is extremely easy and offers the greatest possible security. These are available in numerous shapes, colors and variants.
There are many different methods of processing the magnet. As in this case, a permanent magnet is used.
Here you can find more examples of magnetic closures that our customers have created with the help of our products.

A special signaling system from the BOS area was converted into an announcement unit for voice announcements on racetracks and events.
For this purpose, the loudspeaker was screwed onto a round sheet metal equipped with 3 magnet systems. Thus be used on any car.
The amplifier is powered by the vehicle's 12V on-board voltage, and the announcement is made via a connected Peiker stick microphone.
Magnet systems (neodymium) with and without rubber jacket
Different magnets are built into a system. The field lines are deflected and bundle the adhesive forces (magnetic force) on one side of the system. This focusing enables a higher adhesion factor. The magnet in the magnet system is optionally protected by a rubber jacket. The rubber jacket of our magnets is made of Santoprene®. In the magnet shop we carry the magnet systems (neodymium) with and without a rubber jacket in various designs (see above).
Why is neodymium used for the magnet systems?
Neodymium magnets are also known as neodymium-iron-boron or NdFeB magnets. They have a much higher adhesive force than ferrite magnets. They belonged to the "rare earths" and are often referred to as the super magnets, which are considered to be the strongest permanent magnets in the world.

Our customer came up with the idea of creating a magnetic attachment for a darkening blind for his car.
I occasionally spend the summer in my car. It gets uncomfortable in the morning. The sun is way too bright and the car is slowly heating up.
With a suitable darkening, you can at least delay the problem for a long time and sleep in comfortably.
The attachment to the body is with discmagnets.
It is easy to use. The paint on my car is spared.
Magnetic attachment of a darkening
Get rid of the suction cups and annoying marks on the windows!
The blackout sticks to the car. Even with the tailgate open.
Advantages: The blackout can be removed cleanly and easily. They can be positioned more easily. It can be attached and removed in next to no time.
The magnets were simply pushed into the loop and sewn on both sides. Attention should be paid to any plastic covers and the associated higher adhesive force.
The blackout is magnetically attracted to the frame of the window. It ensures the necessary privacy and protects against unwanted incidence of light.
Please note the polarity of the magnets.
We find this idea very helpful and look forward to sharing it with you. You can find more interesting ideas on our blog.

Redesign of a showcase with magnetic paint
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
At the beginning of the year we bought rodmagnets that we use to freshen up our showcase for the community.
I painted a simple wooden plate several times with magnetic paint and the whole thing was done.
Simple, effective and user-friendly!
The magnets also hold laminated sheets firmly in place and are hardly noticeable due to their size.
We are all absolutely thrilled!You often see large, round magnets in showcases that take up a lot of space. Usually do not adhere well. The rodmagnets are super strong!
Once a wall has been treated with magnetic paint, all sorts of things can be easily attached to it with magnets - just like on a refrigerator door.With the finest, rust-proof iron particles in the water-soluble emulsion paint, our magnetic paints transform any conventional wall into a magnetic surface. The color is more flexible than any conventional magnetic sheet and magnetic strip. If a wall has been treated with magnetic paint, all materials can be easily attached to the wall using magnets. The color is also productive. One liter of the special projection paint is enough for around six square meters with a single application.

Art exhibition
Dear Magnets4you team,
We use products from your shop for our projects. They are used for various exhibition presentations of art and pictures. The magnets are barely visible and it is very convenient to work with.
In December 2013 / January 2014 we were able to present our joint work of art "Visit to the Künstlerhaus".
The monotypes were presented to our visitors on long steel cables with small magnets.
The latest example: the exhibition "Mobile phone - my one and everything". There are a lot of photographs on display here.
We do that with your very tiny magnets.
The photos can be easily shifted and aligned so properly. That's a great labor saver.
For photos / pictures we use: discmagnets made of neodymium, small but very strong!
Or we use it as an activation element in the exhibition.
With the "Selfie" picture series, that's great!
The audience is called upon to match the right pairs with one another. The small photographs are equipped with the magnetic self-adhesive film and are easy to handle. For selfies we use: magnetic foil
We have a big project next week. With over 120 students we are making a collection of materials. The theme is: Künstlerhaus. The collection grows day by day.
To make this project easy to implement, we use magnetic paper.
The paper is cut into strips and written on by the students. This collection is placed on a huge metal door.

Hello dear Magnetshop team,
I would like to show you my idea for what, in my opinion, is the perfect use of your hook magnets.
I had puzzled my head about it for a long time. How can I attach some birch trunks to the ceiling or to the steel beam as room dividers?
Gluing, screwing, soldering or welding seemed too time-consuming and complicated ...
After much deliberation, I came up with the idea: magnets! That was by far the best and easiest option.
Sometimes you can't see the forest because of all the trees!

Magnetically attach the sun protection
Hi there,
I built a glass roof with a steel frame on our terrace. After the construction of this canopy, the question arose of how to attach the sun protection (shading).
One possibility has been eyes and hooks. The attachment would have been very complex.
I got the idea! I work with magnets.
The attachment is simple, quick, flexible and inexpensive. I used steel memo magnets.
The number and spacing of the magnets depends on the thickness of the sun protection.
You can often avoid drilling by using magnets. Magnets are particularly advantageous when it comes to variable attachments.
Have you been looking for really strong pin board magnets for a long time, but haven't found any? How about unusually strong office magnets that are coated with metal? They are made of high quality steel and have an extremely high adhesive force.
Consumers often underestimate them and are then surprised at how difficult it is to remove the magnets again if, for example, they come into contact with a thick iron plate. The reason for this strong adhesive force is clear: A neodymium magnet is built into the metal pot and ensures that the magnets from this category can hold up to 22 kg.
Different diameters and adhesive forces are available, so you can choose between 0.5 kg, 7 kg, 14 kg and 22 kg.

GPS magnet attachment
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
Here is my magnet application; it is a fastening of a navigation system on the motorcycle with neodymium pot magnets.
An adhesive force of up to 30 kg was used on metal and up to 87 kg on leather. I packed my existing car sat nav in a waterproof bag for the motorcycle.
This is normally attached to the handlebar. The navigation system vibrates a lot. You are blinded by the sunlight falling on the protective cover.
Fastening it to the tank with the neodymium flat gripper is inexpensive. Magnetic bags for motorcycles cost at least three times as much. It's easy to read. Vibration is barely noticeable on the tank. The attachment is secure.
The navigation system is secure (§ 22 StVO). It can easily be removed by the driver. The magnet has no negative effects on the vehicle's electrical system or the function of the navigation system.
Incidentally, the navigation system is so close to the battery. A USB connection can be made. No unnecessary cables!

By using a metal pot the holding force is increased. The magnetic core is located in this. The pot changes the magnetic flux and thus increases the force. Even relatively small magnets adhere very strongly. These magnets are versatile and suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications for transporting steel and iron parts. These magnets are also very suitable for strong and quickly detachable fastenings without drilling. They are suitable for trade fair or shop fitting. As mounting magnets in private households or for hobby applications.

Our products have replaced misshapen wheel magnets on bicycles.
Wheel magnets
Problem: All bike computer manufacturers supply inductive signal generator magnets for spokes and cranks. These are used to measure speed and cadence. Unfortunately these are suboptimal. These are too big. Aerodynamically unsatisfactory. They whistle at high speeds. In addition, these are heavy and unsightly. The fastening methods are not satisfactory. Optically unsuitable!
Here are a few instructions for the installation.
The following pictures show different standard wheel magnets, in my opinion these are not functional and unattractive.
First you temporarily attach the new magnets to align them exactly and to do a function test.
Cadence and speed!
Now you can start with the assembly.
I use 2-component epoxy resin for this, superglue also works, but the latter can sometimes lead to a loss of the magnet.
A reasonably precise mixing ratio of the components must be observed!
Now the joint has to be prepared by slightly roughening it with fine sandpaper.
Degrease the areas with alcohol. IMPORTANT!
Now the spoke magnet can be put in place. The cadence magnet can be placed on the crank.
The magnet is held in place with scotch tape. After hardening you remove it again!

Mobile sleeping space thanks to magnets
Hello magnet shop!
I would like to introduce my application;
I used neodymium ringmagnets to assemble the curtains in my converted "Kangoo" camping vehicle.
Sew the ring magnet to the curtain with a few stitches and strong thread. This adheres directly to the metal frame of the body. The Kangoo can be converted into a mobile sleeping place with privacy protection in just a few simple steps.
The distance between the magnets is approx. 40 cm. Our forehand holds.
Neodymium magnets are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron (NdFeB). They have enormous magnetic strength per unit volume. These are extremely robust against demagnetization.
Their forces of attraction lift almost 1000 times their own weight. They are among the most powerful permanent magnets.
Ring magnets are versatile. The specific shapes allow you a wide range of uses. For attachment or for design and decoration.
They are used in schools or universities for exciting experiments.
With the different neodymium ring magnets you get powerful permanent magnets. These can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
Neodymium ring magnets are available with axial (magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces) or diametrical magnetization (magnetization left and right parallel to the diameter).
In addition, special neodymium ring magnets with countersink for screws are available.

The sealing of a balcony is attached by fixing a pond liner with super magnets.
Sealing the balcony with pond liner and super magnets
I always had the problem that the balconies on our house caught a lot of rainwater due to their size. This rainwater dripped from all the cracks and holes onto the lower balcony.
This damaged the building fabric. All tenants were very upset. We had to re-seal the balcony.
With pond liner, sewage connections and neodymium blockmagnets!
These are needed to keep the pond liner stable at all edges. The pond liner takes on the shape of a tub through the use of magnets.
Drilling and screwing would not have been an option. Thanks to its powerful magnets, the pond liner holds!
With most of our blockmagnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces.
Like neodymium discmagnets, these cuboids also fall into the category "super magnets made of neodymium".
The strong neodymium magnets are offered with a nickel or epoxy coating.
Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) is the most common coating on neodymium magnets. The color is silver, semi-gloss.
Epoxy resin (Ni-Cu-Ni-Epoxy) (colloquially just called epoxy)
Color: Black. Almost 100% corrosion resistant. The corrosion resistance is only given if the coating is intact.
Epoxy is not impact resistant (crumbles quickly).

A magnetic board can now be found in almost every household, but this XXL magnetic board is truly unique!
XXL Magnetic Bord
Usually you buy a magnetic board ready-made. A standard size costs around € 35. The bigger the board, the higher the price.
What is at least as good but much cheaper are metal shelves from the hardware store! The floors are available individually and in different sizes.
For example, you can create recesses for light switches. The picture shows seven 50 cm x 100 cm and one 50 cm x 80 cm shelves.
To attach photos, invitations, vouchers, thank you cards, memos, calendars, timetables, postcards, ... we use neodymium rodmagnets!
They have the best value for money. Adhesive strength of 950 gr., Which holds even through very thick paper. I ordered 160 pieces straight away.
Have fun copying! This is also suitable as a gift or a surprise for loved ones!
The advantage of neodymium rodmagnets is their easy handling. Thanks to their elongated shape, they are easy to grip. They are also suitable on the pin board.
By lining up individual magnets, you can put together bar magnets made of neodymium in any length.
Almost all models have the north and south poles on the flat circular surfaces (axial magnetization).
However, some designs are diametrically magnetized (through the diameter).

In today's magnet application, we are introducing you to romantic name tags with magnets.
Romantic name tags
For our wedding I was looking for a possibility for the badges. However, I didn't want to use pins that poke small holes in clothing.
The right idea was to make the badges out of magnets and metal discs.
Our version of the badge is not just a book, as is customary in Bavaria, but also becomes a kind of name card.
Here are a few pictures of the finished copy:
For the final copy, the name is still printed and not just written by hand.
Background to the name card: Our relatives are quite large and so everyone can come into contact quickly and easily.
We are of the opinion: A real inexpensive alternative to the simple pin and therefore super ingenious!
Name badges with magnets - no hassle with the guests!
Of course, every wedding has its own style and character. Therefore, our idea should serve that magnets can be used instead of pins to protect clothes.
After all, you don't want to get into trouble with your guests.
Self-adhesive counterparts to magnets are very popular. Specifically, it is a metal disc with a self-adhesive back. This is characterized by a very strong adhesive force due to foam glue. However, this only applies if the surface is clean. Make sure you pay attention, otherwise the products cannot develop their full effect. For this reason, please clean the relevant area sufficiently in advance. These useful counterparts are available in galvanized or white painted versions. In this way you will find the right optics for your location. For example, because of white walls, many customers are looking for white painted panes so that these practical helpers are hardly noticeable when not in use and do not spoil the furnishings. Also keep in mind that these metal washers are only used as a primer. They are not magnets! Nonetheless, these products are ideal for making magnets stick to them.

Just in time for the soccer world championship, a World Cup canvas securely attached with magnetic hooks.
World Cup screen attached securely and easily
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
Your magnets helped me with an important cause. I want to present my application. Perhaps this can also help other users.
The canvas should be hung up and removed again as easily as possible.
At first I used screw hooks. These stood out after the canvas had been removed. They bothered us quite a bit.
We found the solution on your website. With white lacquered metal discs, we created the primer for two strong hook magnets made of neodymium.
Now we can quickly and easily detach the canvas and hooks after use. The two white painted panes are no longer noticeable and do not bother us at all. Thank you very much!
Metal discs:
On one side, the metal discs are provided with a double-sided adhesive tape with a scotch-mount polyurethane foam adhesive. The front of the disc is painted white. Thickness of the disc: 1 mm. Tape thickness: 1 mm
Self-adhesive counterparts to magnets are very popular. It is a metal disc with a self-adhesive back. This is characterized by a very strong adhesive force due to foam adhesive. The prerequisite is a clean surface. These useful counterparts are available in galvanized or white lacquered versions. They are not magnets!

Hello Magnet Shop Team!
i want to share my magnet application here. This solution is the fastest and easiest for my project!
I got a vertical awning for my garden. Instead of screwing the brackets to the wall, in this case they were attached quickly and without drilling with neodymium pot magnets.
The holding power is gigantic. The repositioning of the side awning is only possible with a wooden wedge and hammer!
Pot magnets - small and strong
The special thing about a pot magnet is that the holding force is increased by using a metal pot. The magnetic core is located in this. It changes the magnetic flux and thus increases the force. Even relatively small magnets adhere very strongly. These magnets are versatile and suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications for transporting steel and iron parts. One speaks of flat grippers. Such magnets are very suitable for strong and quickly detachable fastenings without drilling.
There are different versions of pot magnets. With continuous cylinder bore with internal thread for screwing on. If there is also a countersink, nothing protrudes when using a suitable countersunk head screw. Magnets with a non-continuous threaded socket on the back are screwed onto a pin with an external thread. There are also variants with a threaded pin for screwing into a socket. If none of these fastening options are available, the magnets can also be glued into suitable openings.

Inexpensive fly screen solution as DIY for every budget
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I wanted to send you my instructions on how to attach a fly screen without a frame using magnets and washers.
Not everyone has the money to buy an expensive fly screen frame or they are simply too unwieldy or bulky. Fly screens are usually attached with Velcro, which neither holds well nor allows the fly screen to remain whole if you have to remove and reattach it frequently. My problem was that I have flowers outside the window that I have to water regularly. In the window frame I have a screen that keeps insects out and cats inside. After I put the screen on and off several times, it already showed the first holes.
So I got the idea to fix it with magnets.
For this I glued flat, block magnets (Blockmagnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 2.0 mm N45 nickel - holds 1.2 kg) into the frame, as you can see on the first photo. Next I sewed washers for the Progresse M5 screws to the fly screen, as shown in the second photo. Now you can pull off the fly screen with one pull and secure it again in a few simple steps.

Magnetic attachment for LTE caravan antenna
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
The reception conditions on our campsite were very bad. It was necessary to attach a directional radio antenna to our caravan (for mobile communications, LTE Internet).
The antenna should only be used temporarily and should be easy to put on and take off.
I decided to use a magnet attachment. The bracket consists of several parts. Part of it comes from the original attachment. In addition, an aluminum tube and a threaded sleeve were used. In addition, some nuts and washers were used. The latter, I picked up a threaded rod. All materials are rustproof.
The bracket was mounted on a threaded magnet system.
I attached a sheet metal bracket with the dimensions 65 x 65 mm, thickness 3 mm, galvanized to the roof rail of the caravan. I got this from a hardware store.
Aligning the antenna is easy. On a Telekom website, after entering the current location, the direction of the next transmitter is displayed in degrees.
The antenna can be aligned with the aid of a compass.
The antenna withstood gusts of Bft 8 without any problems on the first day. Attaching the antenna with this magnet system is ideal!
Magnet systems:
Round neodymium magnet system with rubber jacket and threaded pin. The rubber coating made of Santoprene ® on the adhesive surface protects the metallic adhesive base from scratches and increases the sliding force.
These magnet systems are available in 5 different diameters from Ø 12 mm to Ø 88 mm (1.3 kg to 55 kg)

Magnetic tablet holder made of wood
Hello Magnet-Shop Team,
I have built an iPad holder with your magnets and would like to introduce this to you:
Wood: I used softwood for the first tests. This was easy and quick to edit. I then used hardwood for the later versions. It is more robust and more suitable for everyday use.
The sealing was done with linseed oil.
Work steps:
1. Mark. It is important to work carefully here. Measure your tablet precisely and mark everything with a pencil.
2. Rough cutting of the wood. Here you have to proceed according to your own ideas.
3. Fine-tuning: The workpiece can be processed and refined with sandpaper.
4. Attach magnets. A drill stand is to be used here. Otherwise the holes will not be straight and the magnet will not insert properly.
Otherwise, a drill the thickness of the magnet is sufficient for wood and no glue is required.
5. Oiling. I used linseed oil. Lacquer is too thick and can make the workpiece unusable.

Magnetic tile mirror in the kitchen. A truly invisible magnetic force!
Magnetic tiles in the kitchen
Dear magnet shop team:
I have renewed the tiling in my kitchen. On this occasion I glued magnets on the back of some tiles. With a thickness of 3 mm, the magnets could easily be incorporated into the tile adhesive bed. The tiles can now be used as a pin board, at least at certain points.
Larger objects such as the short-term timer shown have a thin discmagnet stuck to the back.
Pay attention to the polarity here. The magnets want to turn in a certain direction. To prevent these objects from rotating unintentionally, the magnets must be affixed in the correct orientation. Guests in the kitchen regularly marvel at the "magnetic tiles".
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization is caused by the neodymium-iron-boron used. Even the smallest disc magnets turn into power magnets.
You don't even believe what you can use the super magnets for.
Most of the neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically.
Here, in our blog, you will find further magnetic applications with our discmagnets. Browse through our blog. Maybe there is something useful for your needs.

Pinboard magnets made from recycled bottle caps
Hello dear magnet shop team,
We bought your magnets to make magnetic bottle caps.
Used material and accessories:
Ferrite discmagnets
Hot glue gun
Bottle caps
Homemade in no time
The small ferrite magnets were glued to the back of the bottle caps with a hot glue gun.
2 magnets were used per crown cap.
There are also uses for crown caps that go beyond that of bottle caps.
They are well suited for a variant of the skill game English football practiced by children and young people.
In art and music lessons at elementary and special schools, they are used to make rattle and noise instruments.
Also, crown corks can be used for mills or other games in which two different colored game pieces are in use.
As a soap holder: A crown cap was pressed into a bar of soap. This adheres thanks to the magnets.
There are numerous approaches to further processing. They are used as pieces of jewelry or as decorative objects, these are becoming increasingly popular.
You can find many more creative bottle cap ideas here on our blog. Stop by and be inspired.

Child lock for drawers and cupboards
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
After our daughter discovered the handles of the drawers and cupboards in our kitchen for herself and had set herself the task of clearing them out, we saw an urgent need for action.
Your hand or fingers could be caught. The contents of the drawers and cabinets could be dangerous.
A first measure consisted of exploring the child safety devices available on the market. Disenchantment quickly followed; what a disappointment!
Most of the plastic "fuses" offered turned out to be inapplicable for the drawers.
The copies that can be bought involve additional work. All latches and hooks in the cabinets must be screwed down.
A built-in variant with adhesive pads fell off after two days.
Magnetically protected from small children's hands
The challenge was to keep our daughter and her amazing strength away from the handles in the kitchen.
Or keep the handles away from our daughter. Of course, we'll unscrew the handles! And how do the adults get the doors and drawers open?
And this is where your famous magnet shop comes into play.
The order included the following:
Metal discs and deep pot magnets made of neodymium.
From the hardware store we got:
15 x 4 mm countersunk head screws
Washers
self-locking screws
The plastic pipe of a disused car window puller was still found in the cellar.

Magnetic wooden cladding for hi-fi amplifiers
Dear Sir or Madam,
in the late 80's and early 90's, hi-fi companies like Luxman, Denon, Sony, and Accuphase loved to screw wooden side panels to their high-quality equipment.
Unfortunately, you can no longer find this luxury today.
I wanted to visually upgrade my Denon amplifier with the aforementioned wooden cladding. I didn't want to put up with the effort of screwing.
First, I covered the perfectly cut wooden panels made of MDF with veneer.
Then drilled a number of countersinks on the inside (at this point I didn't know how many I would need) and inserted your cubemagnets into them.
It was not necessary to glue the magnets. With a small rubber mallet I was able to drive these firmly and safely into the joints.
The wood paneling was attached to the amplifier and aligned. Complete.
I think it looks very high quality. I saved a lot of time and nerves. No holes were necessary. The veneer is not damaged.
Thanks to you for the great product.
Many greetings!
Thank you for submitting it! We are happy to share this with our customers.

Magnetic fastening of the Christmas decoration
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
I used the magnetic discs and magnetic hooks you supplied (I am very satisfied) for the following purposes:
- Attaching several Christmas stars to windows
- Guide cables with the help of the hoes
You can see the implementation of this application in the following pictures.
Thank you very much!
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization due to the neodymium-iron-boron used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium discmagnets. The range of possible applications for the super magnets is huge. Most of our neodymium discmagnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic discs are diametrically magnetized, recognizable by the extra picture in the product picture.
How the ferrite pot magnets with steel pot work:
A ferrite magnet is installed in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the ferrite magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The hook can be unscrewed, which means e.g. other objects with external threads can also be screwed in. Due to the white powder coating, these magnetic hooks can be used almost invisibly on white adhesive surfaces such as ceiling or shelves.
When using it, however, it must be ensured that the specified adhesive force can only be achieved when used vertically (e.g. on the ceiling). When used on a wall (horizontal trigger), the adhesive force of the hook magnet is less, or will tilt with a lighter weight. Of course, we also have stronger hook magnets with neodymium, but with a nickel-plated surface.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. Strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector.

Repairing a dishwasher flap
Hi there,
here my magnet application:
While renovating, I accidentally stepped on the open dishwasher door. Unfortunately, the flap was slightly bent. It is no longer closed. The flap opens by itself when you wash up.
New price for the flap is over EUR 500.00. A repair is questionable. The cost estimate is approx. EUR 350.00.
Problem: The interior is made of Nirosta. That means stainless steel, (Nirosta for short). This material is not magnetic.
With 2 potmagnets and 2 magnetic metal strips, the inner workings become magnetic.
I drilled two holes in the top section and screwed the pot magnets onto it.
The magnetic metal strips could be attached to the flap with the 2 existing screws.
Result: flap stays closed! Everything is "chic" again! The most important thing: I've saved a lot of money!

Magnetic decoration attachment
Good day!
I would like to introduce my application to you, the idea is - I think - very good:
Task: Attaching Christmas balls to the kitchen window without having to drill holes in the ceiling.
The Christmas balls are removed again after Christmas, another blanket can be hung up at Easter, etc.
I painted dots on the ceiling with magnet paint.
I applied the paint twice.
After the paint had dried, I attached hook magnets made of neodymium to these points.
Now I can hang up Christmas balls on it.
After Christmas I want to remove the magnetic hooks and paint over the magnetic paint in white.
And at Easter I can reattach the magnetic hooks and hang up other decorations.
So the ceiling always looks neat. When removing the decoration, the magnets can easily be removed. With new decorations, these quickly adhere to the magnetic paint.
You can find more contributions from customer applications with hook magnets here! Take a look.
Thank you for sending me your magnetic idea. We are happy to share these with our customers and look forward to further useful applications.

Cold protection on motorhomes
Hello!
I made a winter tarpaulin for motorhomes with the help of your magnets!
A tarpaulin as protection against the cold in winter costs over € 120 in stores.
A tarpaulin from the hardware store makes implementation easier and cheaper. This was cut to size and provided with sturdy adhesive tape.
Then this tarpaulin was pasted over with small strong blockmagnets.
Lasts great.
You can also glue the loops on top. These fit under the doors on the inside. At the same time, the loops provide protection against theft. My total cost is around € 30.

How the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot work:
The strong NdFeB magnets are built into a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force.
In order to be able to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must lie directly on the metallic substrate.
Special feature: These magnets have a central hole with a continuous metric thread. Objects with an external thread, such as screws, can be screwed together quickly with the holding magnet. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Holding magnets / assembly magnets/ pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fair and assembly construction. These pot magnets can be used in advertising and display construction. As well as in the lighting sector.

Magnetic key holder for adults
Hello neodymium friends,
I have recently started using neodymium magnets for a key rack that I recently designed.
This is where the discmagnets come into play. These have enough power to hold a bunch of keys in place. They are attached to the back of a sheet of plywood. These have no direct contact with the metal ring used.
I will certainly use these possibilities in future projects.
A perfect gift for a bachelorette party! This is going to be a blast at the party! Unique and special! Funny and Interesting!

Raw magnets made of neodymium - real super magnets!
Neodymium magnets are also sold under the name neodymium-iron-boron or NdFeB magnets. Neodymium belongs to the rare earths.
You will be amazed at the magnetic force of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization transforms the smallest magnet into power magnets. Most of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are magnetized diametrically.
Further magnet applications with the help of disc magnets can be found here on our blog. It's worth taking a look!

LED panel magnetically attached to the ceiling
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
One way to use your magnets is to mount an LED panel on the ceiling.
Since most LED panels are only intended for hanging installation on wire cables, you have to help yourself to attach the panel directly to the ceiling.
A great solution is the use of pot magnets that are mounted on the ceiling and show their magnetic effect on the sheet metal back of the panel.
Important note: In the case of elongated panels, it is necessary to plan the magnets not only in the corners, but also in the middle. This prevents the panel from sagging.
9 magnets were used for a panel measuring 120 x 30 cm.
Pot magnets - small and strong pot magnets
The special thing about a pot magnet is that its adhesive force is increased by a metal pot. The magnetic core is in this so that the adhesive surface remains free. Therefore, the adhesive force only acts on one side of the magnet. The pot changes the magnetic flux and thus increases the force. As a result, even relatively small magnets stick very strongly. Pot magnets are versatile and suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications to transport steel and iron parts. That is why one also speaks of deep pot. Such magnets are also very suitable for strong and quickly removable fastenings without drilling. Whether for trade fair and shop construction, as assembly magnets in private households, for hobby applications and other purposes.

Our customer has built a practical aid by using Use of eyelet magnets in the shoe cabinet.
Use of eyelet magnets in the shoe cabinet
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I would like to introduce you to my magnet application, which has proven itself in my household.
The Problem:
The shoes in a sheet steel shoe cabinet slipped when the cabinet was closed. Sometimes it is difficult to open.
A pole to hold the shoes in place was difficult to attach. There is a lack of space on the outside of the pivoting side plates. In addition, a bar is too rigid and would have to be removed to remove the shoes.
Order when storing your shoes
And now the practical magnet solution:
For each shelf, two eyelet magnets are connected with a 6 mm rubber rope (sailor's requirement) and attached to the side walls. The shoes are now also held when tipping over.
Their size no longer matters. The eyelet magnets can be attached as desired.
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot and screwed-in eyelets:
A strong neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The eyelet is located on the back of the magnetic plate and is screwed into the existing threaded bush with an internal thread. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Often the hook magnets made of neodymium are also required, which you can also find in our shop.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. The strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector. When attaching objects to ceilings, our eyelet magnets are always welcome

We have these cone magnets with glued or screwed neodymium magnets in our range.
What is attached with the cone magnet can be easily removed or moved at any time thanks to the particularly ergonomic shape of the cone.
Due to the very strong neodymium magnet on the underside, it is ideal for notices on information boards, for attaching notes or plans to metal surfaces or for hanging postcards on the refrigerator.
With a conemagnet, the magnetic field lines are bundled on the small circular surface, also called the top surface. This means that magnets with a conical shape have a high adhesive force.
Conemagnets are ideal for use as office magnets, for example on whiteboards, metal strips or magnetic glass boards. With the small circle you can attach notes, A4 sheets, posters, etc. to a ferromagnetic surface.
If necessary, you can easily detach the conical magnets by bending them sideways.
Please note: If you attach the conemagnets with the large base to a metal surface, the magnets can hardly be detached.

Attaching a horizontal stabilizer to a model aircraft
Hello Magnet Shop Team,
I'm an avid model builder, and the question always comes up: How do I attach my plug-in horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage? There are a variety of ways I've solved this problem. But I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Whether it was screws, fastening with springs, or using grub screws in the spar. All of these options are always a hassle when assembling the model.
Now I've tried your neodymium magnets, and I'm thrilled with the solution!
I used the Ø 5 x 3 mm disc magnets here!
Finally, a picture of the shell of my Grob G180 SPn
First, I marked the position of the magnets on the horizontal stabilizer mount. Left and right on the vertical stabilizer, and on the root ribs of the stabilizers themselves. Then, using a standard hand-held milling machine, I machined two holes, each on the left and right of the mount and in the left and right elevators. In this case, they were 5x3mm.
I then simply attached the neodymium magnet with a little two-component epoxy resin.
I did the same for the other three holes. It's especially important to ensure the correct polarity of the magnets here.
Now, after the resin has hardened, simply plug them together, and the stabilizer is attached to the fuselage without any fiddling! With the two disc magnets on each side, the stabilizer is easily held to the fuselage and can also be easily removed again.
Exactly as it should be!

Homemade chiroscope
Hello dear Magnet Shop team!
I'm a vision trainer and run a shop for vision training products. Among other things, I offer a homemade chiroscope, which I managed to create a wonderful mount using your rod magnets, self-adhesive magnetic foil, and disc magnets.
By the way:
A (mirror) chiroscope is a screening and training device used in vision training.
With the chiroscope, you look through the two round holes containing magnifying lenses. The mirror/septum clamped underneath separates the visual fields of the eyes.
The purpose of this is to test and train hand-eye-brain coordination.
Here, we've achieved a wonderful and reliable holder for the paper using the self-adhesive magnetic foil in combination with the four disc magnets.
We also attached two bar magnets to holes in the frame, creating an easily replaceable holder for the dividers (mirror or septum).

Self-adhesive counterparts to magnets are enjoying great popularity. Numerous customer inquiries in the past have demonstrated this.
This is specifically a metal disc with a self-adhesive backing. This is characterized by very strong adhesive strength thanks to foam adhesive. However, this only applies if the surface is clean. Be absolutely careful, otherwise the products will not be able to achieve their full effect. For this reason, please clean the relevant surface thoroughly beforehand. These useful counterparts are available in galvanized or white-painted versions. This way, you can find the right look for your location. Many customers, for example, look for white-painted discs because of white walls, so that these practical helpers are hardly noticeable when not in use and do not spoil the decor. Please also remember that these metal discs are merely adhesive surfaces. They are not magnets! Nevertheless, these products are excellent for attaching magnets to them.

Neodymium magnets are also known as neodymium-iron-boron or NdFeB magnets. Neodymium is one of the so-called "rare earths." What makes these metals special and difficult is not their rarity, but rather the complexity of mining and separating them from other compounds. Accordingly, neodymium magnets are quite expensive compared to other magnets. However, they are among the strongest magnets in the world – even small models measuring just a few centimeters. Before you buy neodymium magnets, you should consider the ideal shape for you.

A pretty and very practical application: Key magnet holder
Hello magnet-shop team!
I am sending you my magnet application:
This is a key magnet that can be placed in the entrance area of your apartment. It hangs from the ceiling with a rope, and when you enter the apartment, simply holding the key ring is enough to attach the key. This way, when you leave the apartment, you always know where you left your key, saving valuable time. The product is sold in a small wooden box, making it a wonderful small gift for people who often search for their keys.
Your cube magnets will help you create this box.
Key magnetic holder
All neodymium cube magnets are magnetized vertically (axially). Because of their three equal sides (length, width, height), the side with the magnetic poles can only be determined with another magnet, a compass, or a pole finder. If you gently attract two cube magnets, they will always align with their poles facing each other.
The handy and classic shape makes neodymium cube magnets a universally applicable magnetic everyday helper.
Neodymium cube magnets are versatile super magnets. They are especially popular with creative people, as several cubes can be arranged and moved in various ways. This allows you to build real magnetic sculptures. Need a practical postcard stand? Build it yourself by connecting a neodymium cube magnet with a screw and inserting a postcard between them.
They are also ideal as holding magnets for various work areas, such as:
Office
School
Workshop (as tool holders)
Tip: if you want a real eye-catcher, buy our neodymium magnet cubes with a gold coating.

Material stop with magnets
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
Every hobbyist knows the problem:
If you want to make many identical parts, or even just want the same distance along one edge, you have to mark everything out first.
Constantly marking is annoying! I don't build a new wooden stop for each part.
The solution: With three magnets, each stop can be easily adjusted on the machine table, so you can get started right away. You only need to correctly mark the first hole for adjusting the stop.
The magnets can be stored away on the side of the machine table.
Well, isn't that great?!
You'll be amazed by the magnetic force of neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization of the neodymium-iron-boron compound used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection here with neodymium disc magnets. The spectrum of possible applications for these super magnets is enormous. The majority of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization).
If you're looking for weaker and more affordable disc magnets, you'll find what you're looking for among our ferrite magnetic discs.
As already mentioned, there are a wide variety of applications for neodymium disc magnets. Industrial companies, small businesses, and private individuals alike benefit from the performance of these discs. They are used in areas such as:

Water decalcification with ferrite magnets
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
I would like to share with you my application for improving the water quality in my home.
I used ring magnets to improve the water quality, i.e., hard water is transformed into soft water.
This means less use of soap, soap powder, shampoo, etc. Furthermore, limescale now loses its adhesive power after heating in kettles, instant water heaters, heating elements in washing machines, etc.
For installation:
Two magnets are attached to each of the water meter's screw connections with adhesive tape and secured with cable ties.
Important note:
Since this effect has not yet been scientifically proven, we cannot guarantee this use or the anti-limescale properties of magnets!
Would you like to securely attach a metal part without having to use a hammer, nails, adhesive tape, or similar? Our ferrite ring magnets are available in various sizes and quantities and can be discreetly attached to any metallic surface.
Whether for coin and bottle cap collections, as chalkboard magnets at school, or as simple refrigerator magnets – the ferrite models offer a solid base that can be precisely adjusted to the size of the respective item.
Like all ferrite magnets, our rings are also rust-resistant and can withstand extreme heat and cold in a pinch.
They are therefore also suitable for outdoor use.

Invisible and flexible mounting of a knife collection
Dear Magnet Shop Team,
I would like to explain my idea and application to you:
I am a knife collector and have a large collection.
As a collector, you are naturally proud of your collection and try to present it accordingly. I have a wooden back wall with a frame around it. The back wall was covered with carpet or felt. I screwed brass hooks into the wooden wall on which I can place the knives. This isn't all that easy, because each hook has to be adjusted to the width of the knife. A collection grows and changes over time, so with my version, I had to move the hooks each time, which is a considerable time-consuming process.
My idea was to create the hooks with a magnet with a hole in the middle for screwing them in.
I screw the magnets onto the back panel and adjust the spacing with washers. I glued a thin felt pad to the magnets to protect the surface of my knives. Specially adjusted spacing was chosen for short, medium, and long knives so that I can swap the different sized knives back and forth without having to change anything. And it even looks better!

Knife strip with disc magnets
Hello dear Magnet-Shop team,
Thanks to your magnets, I've built a simple but effective knife rack!
Originally, I just wanted to banish my sharp knives from the drawer, but a knife block was too bulky or just gets in the way. So I came up with the idea of a space-saving magnetic wooden knife rack.
How did I do it? It's so easy!
This knife magnet block is made from a laminated beechwood board and five magnets.
Pre-drilled with an 11 mm Forstner bit and then enlarged in diameter and depth with a router with a groove cutter (up to about 2 mm wall thickness).
Even the large knife stays securely on the rack! Brilliant!
And now, the finished knife rack? Isn't it elegant and space-savin?
You'll be amazed by the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization of the neodymium-iron-boron compound used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium disc magnets here. The spectrum of possible applications for these super magnets is enormous.

Our customer has taken on an interesting project in the hi-fi sector: Floating Hi-Fi CD Player
Floating Hi-Fi CD player
Hello Magnet-Shop Team,
I'd like to introduce you to my little project.
My basic idea was to build a base for a hi-fi CD player with virtually no contact between the device and the support.
To do this, I countersunk 10 magnets between two pieces of chipboard on each side. One of them is a 20 mm and the other a 10 mm diameter. Two plastic bushings are embedded in the middle to guide the upper plate, from which two metal rods protrude.
When the two plates are placed on top of each other, the repulsive effect is sufficient to support the CD player, and the metal rods prevent the records from twisting due to the magnets. The entire thing is placed in the existing frame and is not externally recognizable as a floating base.
The actual purpose of the design is to give the player a better foundation for playing and to keep out any possible external influences. This measure results in a more refined spatial reproduction of the sound image in my system.
Most of our neodymium block magnets have their north and south poles located on the two large, opposite surfaces. The few exceptions can be seen in the separate image. Like our neodymium disc magnets, these blocks also fall into the category of "neodymium super magnets." With our large selection, you're sure to find the right magnet for your needs.

Our customer was looking for a suitable solution for attaching his insect screen to the skylight.
Due to the sloping roof, this was not possible with commercially available products - they were simply too weak.
Attaching an insect screen to the skylight
Hello magnet shop team,
this is a very simple application to build insect screens on skylights!
For this solution only quite monstrous and expensive versions are offered by the trade.
A manufacturer built the frames we wanted.
Only the usual magnetic strips are designed for vertical windows and do not hold. Your small blockmagnets are just right!
This solution is not only very practical. It is also easy to implement. A custom-fit fly screen for the roof window with a perfect hold.
Thank you to our customer for submitting his quick and effective roof window mounting solution.
With most of our blockmagnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces.
Like our neodymium discmagnets, these cuboids also fall into the category "super magnets made of neodymium". With our large selection you are sure to find the right magnet for your application.
We offer the strong neodymium magnets with a nickel or epoxy coating. Magnets with a black epoxy coating are better suited for damp environments.

Hook magnet as a petanque ball picker
Hello Magnet Shop Team!
We're boules players, and this is our magnet application: hook magnet as a petanque ball picker.
When playing boules, you can of course bend down and pick up the balls, or pull them up with a magnet on a string.
These pickers are available from specialist retailers, but they're too weak. We used the 6 kg magnets for quite a while. Now I've installed the 10 kg magnets. These make handling even easier, depending on the surface conditions!
How neodymium pot magnets with steel pot and screwed-in hooks work:
A strong neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal casing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases its holding force. To achieve optimal holding force, the flat pot magnet must rest directly on the metal surface. A thin iron sheet or a paint coating can quickly reduce the holding force. The holding force only acts on the exposed side of the magnet. The steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The hook is located on the back of the magnet plate and is screwed into the existing threaded bushing with an internal thread. The maximum operating temperature is 80°C.
Neodymium eyelet magnets, which you can also find in our range, are often required. If a white paint finish and less holding force are required, choose our white ferrite hook magnets.
Holding magnets, mounting magnets, flat grippers, and pot magnets are particularly popular in industry, trade fair construction, and assembly construction. These powerful pot magnets have also become indispensable in the advertising, display construction, and lighting sectors. Our hook magnets are often used for attaching objects to ceilings.

Pimp your car with our magnets! Attachment of license plates as a removable license plate? No problem. This is quick and easy with the right magnets.
Attachment of license plates with magnets
Our customer shows how it's done:
Hello magnet-shop team!
My application is certainly a bit unusual!
Since I like to make individual changes to my car and drive to car events, I didn't want my license plate to appear on photos on the Internet.
So a simple variant had to be used to be able to mount and dismantle my license plate quickly.
I didn't want suction cups because I don't like the look of them.
But then, I found your magnets!
First I looked for free spaces on the license plate and glued the magnets on to it with 2 component glue.
While the glue was drying, I dismantled the front bumper of my car.
After the glue had set, I held the license plate to the bumper with the help of a second person and then glued the other 10 magnets on from behind.
My opinion; this is the best method to briefly dismantle your license plate.
The magnets are bombproof. There is no danger of losing the license plate while driving.
Even an industrial high-pressure cleaner cannot remove the license plate.
Since this method has proven to be very effective, this year I will also attach the rear license plate with magnets from you.

Our customer had a great idea for homemade fridge magnets: Baltic and North Sea fridge magnets
Baltic and North Sea fridge magnets
Hello dear Magnet Shop team,
I have collected beautiful Störtebeker beer bottle caps with pictures of Baltic and North Sea cities.
Thanks to your magnets and double-sided adhesive dots, these have become a wonderful collection of refrigerator magnets!
For sensitive surfaces, however, I recommend the nickel-coated disc magnets, as some ferrite magnets have small burrs.
Adhesive dots:
Where detailed work is required, adhesive dots are the answer. These practical and affordable helpers can be used to secure lightweight objects where only a specific point of attachment is required: for example, when attaching photos and posters, or when gluing advertising mail, product samples, and other packaging. In our shop, you can purchase adhesive dots with a diameter of 10, 15, and 20 mm. The practical gripping aids make them easier to use.
Ferrite magnets are the most affordable magnets for simple applications. However, they are also significantly weaker than neodymium magnets. They can withstand temperatures up to 250°C, are rust-resistant, and therefore suitable for outdoor use.
In our product range, you will find a variety of different sizes, divided into ferrite ring magnets, ferrite disc magnets, and ferrite block magnets. Our hard ferrite magnets are ceramic materials and are very hard and brittle.
These applications cover a wide range of possibilities. Ferrite magnets are used, for example, in the construction of inexpensive refrigerator magnets, but also as school magnets or craft magnets, and even in loudspeaker construction. When you buy a ferrite magnet, you're getting aCrown caps from the Baltic and North Seas transformed into unique pieces with our products. Read here!

A decorative way to really showcase Christmas mail: Memo magnets for attaching pictures to stair railings!
Dear Magnetshop Team,
After receiving our magnets from the online shop, we put them to their first seasonal use shortly after: attaching our Christmas mail to a metal stair railing.
Such a stair railing is perfect for decoration or, for example, for cleverly placing pictures. However, you also need fasteners that are easy to attach and can be easily removed without leaving any residue. Ferrite memo magnets are ideal for this. Since the stair railing in this case is painted gray, we chose the black magnets. And now the Christmas mail is beautifully displayed and can be revisited at any time during a contemplative moment.
By the way, our children also enjoy hanging cards or letters on the railing with a memo magnet.
Tip: The memo magnets can also be used to securely secure string lights or similar decorations hanging from the stair railing.
Memo magnets for attaching pictures to the stair railing
Thank you for sending us this creative and unique idea for decorating the stair railing this Christmas!
The possible uses of our pin board magnets with ferrite are almost unlimited. Our versatile classics not only impress with their great adhesion and quality, but also impress visually. They are available in many different shapes and colors – whether round, square, large, small, colorful, or colorless. They are particularly popular in school or office environments as practical helpers for all kinds of presentations.
Take a look around now and order the pin board magnets that are best suited to your purposes.

Today we present you a magnet application from our customer: self-crocheted flower fridge magnets made of wool!
Homemade crocheted flower fridge magnets made of wool!
Hello!
I'm crocheting flowers from thick felted wool: 5 chain stitches to form a slip ring.
In the first row, make two single crochet stitches in each chain stitch.
Crochet three or four rounds, depending on the size. Then crochet the petals in a different color.
When the flower is finished, I attach a magnet to the back and crochet around the whole thing again with thin yarn. Done! Very decorative, funny, a lovely gift, and a real eye-catcher!
I initially tried using hot glue to attach the magnets, but it didn't hold because the wool fibers would tear out, and magnets are very strong, so they're supposed to hold something!
Crocheting around the magnets dampens the tension a bit, and it easily holds three postcards at once!
You'll be amazed by the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Due to the extremely high magnetization of the neodymium-iron-boron compound used, even small discs become powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium disc magnets. The spectrum of possible applications for these super magnets is vast. The majority of our neodymium disc magnets have their magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization).
If you're looking for weaker and more affordable disc magnets, you'll find what you're looking for among our ferrite disc magnets.

Photo gallery
Hello dear Magnet-Shop team,
I created a photo gallery using your magnetic paint and self-adhesive magnetic tape, which offers the advantage of being able to swap out photos quickly and, above all, without leaving any residue. It also looks cool and is inexpensive for its size, assuming a bit of work is required.
I marked the three beams on the white-painted wall with masking tape and then applied four or five layers of magnetic paint (the number of layers of magnetic paint depends on the weight of the objects to be hung on the wall). Then I applied the blue wall paint over the top.
I then applied four small strips of self-adhesive magnetic tape to the back of each photo, and you're done! (Half the width of the magnetic tape is sufficient for each picture).
Self-adhesive magnetic tape with a width of 19.0 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. You can cut the tape to the desired length using scissors or a craft knife.
The magnetic tape is used in fastening and fastening technology, display and trade fair construction, planning and advertising materials, and in every household.
! Can be used in pairs! By rotating one tape 180°, two tapes adhere to each other in pairs.
DUPLI-COLOR Magnetic Paint is a water-based interior paint.
The paint contains iron pigments that allow magnets to adhere to the paint.
This opens up a wide range of possible applications in kindergartens, schools, offices, children's rooms, etc.
If the paint is applied in sufficiently thick layers, it can be painted over with any dispersion varnish or even covered with thin wallpaper – the magnetic attraction remains.

A practical application reached us today: Color filter fixed to the theater spotlight:
Color filter fixed to the theater spotlight
Hello Magnet-Shop Team!
At the theater, we sometimes have the problem that the common color filters are made of polyester. Using them on large spotlights or lighting devices that give off a lot of heat causes the color to fade or the filters to char in the middle and become unusable.
That's why the filters are attached at some distance. This is often done with adhesive tape or wooden clothespins, neither of which looks very nice.
We therefore use neodymium pot magnets with an operating temperature of 150°C to attach the color filters to the housing.
It works great and is very easy and quick!
The special thing about a pot magnet is that its adhesive force is increased by a metal pot. The magnetic core lies in this so that the adhesive surface remains free. Therefore, the adhesive force only acts on one side of the magnet. The pot changes the magnetic flow and thus increases the force. This means that even relatively small magnets adhere very strongly. Pot magnets are versatile and are suitable for both commercial and private use. For example, they can be used as gripping magnets for industrial applications to transport steel and iron parts. This is why they are also called flat grippers. Such magnets are also very suitable for strong and quickly removable fastenings without drilling. Whether for trade fair and shop construction, as assembly magnets in private households, for hobby applications and other purposes.

Creative presentation of bottle caps
What do you do with a considerable pile of bottle caps that you have collected and are worthy of display?
You wait a few years until - after numerous other options simply don't work out - you get a brilliant idea: the front of the refrigerator is so white and so clear...but how do I get the bottle caps on it without damaging either one or the other when it is removed again?
By chance, my eye fell on an office magnet, the plastic coating of which held the bottle cap really well.
When researching prices, the strong neodymium magnets from magnet-shop.net caught my eye.
And that was even better, because they can be attached invisibly. And then everything went very quickly.
I opted for the disc magnets Ø 10 x 1 mm and the result is really impressive.
Almost 400 bottle caps have found their place and more will follow...
You will be amazed by the magnetic force of neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization transforms small discs into power magnets.

These fun and stylish refrigerator magnets are made with ferrite disc magnets.
Ferrite magnets can be glued to any surface: wood, plastic, or, as in this example, metal! Our product range also includes accessories for your magnetic applications, such as our magnetic instant adhesive!
We hope you enjoy crafting!
All ferrite magnets on this page are axially magnetized. We offer a well-stocked selection of practical, affordable, and handy ferrite discs in our range, ranging from 8 mm to 100 mm in diameter. Disc magnets with higher adhesive strength can be found in our neodymium disc magnets.
Can magnets actually be attached with adhesive? Of course! In crafts and many other magnet uses, they are glued to wood, plastic, or other materials. Magnetic adhesive is now also becoming increasingly popular in industry. However, choosing the right magnetic adhesive is always crucial for achieving convincing results. In our shop, you'll find a selection of affordable and optimally suited products for many applications.
To ensure that the magnets adhere to the desired surface for a long time, it's best to thoroughly clean the adhesive surfaces before bonding. They must be free of grease and dust. Dishwashing liquid is ideal for this.
Some materials pose a challenge. Therefore, when selecting a magnetic adhesive, you should always pay close attention to its properties and which materials it is suitable for. Smooth surfaces are particularly difficult. For these, you need a magnetic adhesive with sufficient adhesive strength.

Our customer has found a nice way to attach photos to the wall: magnetic attachment of photo canvases
Magnetic attachment of photo canvases
Hello dear Magnet Shop team,
I have used magnets to build a very flexible mounting for photo canvases. Standard shelf profiles from the hardware store are attached to the wall. I have stuck self-adhesive disc magnets Ø 10 x 1 mm to the back of the photo canvases.
The great thing is that you can create quite a lot of space for photos at first - but you can then gradually add the photos themselves to the tiled wall without having to get out the drill every time. You can also change the arrangement at any time. I also really like the slightly floating effect of the pictures.
These discs are self-adhesive on one side and are assembled in pairs on a carrier tape.
This means that two discs always lie exactly on top of each other and stick together.
This means you can use them, for example, as an elegant closure for folders.
Magnets and ferrous surfaces go together like strawberry cake and whipped cream. But what if you need magnetism on surfaces that just won't hold a magnet? That's where our self-adhesive magnets - also called sticky magnets - come in. They also stick to materials such as wood, aluminum or plastic and form a bond with them without losing their adhesive power. And the whole thing works without you having to attach a magnetic foil or magnetic tape. Magnets that are self-adhesive have a magnetic surface and an adhesive side that adheres strongly to any alloy. In the next step, let's look at the practical work you can do with our self-adhesive neodymium magnets in different sizes and strengths.

Magnetic door holders
Our customer shows how it's done:
Hello magnet-shop team,
I have installed pot magnets made of ferrite as door holders and it works excellently!
The rods on the walls were made with a threaded rod and long threaded nut and the threaded ferrite flat grippers were attached with dowels and hanger bolts.
A small suggestion for replication: The size of the doors or gates and the expected wind conditions must be taken into account when selecting the magnet sizes!
How the ferrite pot magnets with thread work:
A magnet made of ferrite is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the ferrite magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve optimal adhesive force, the flat gripper must rest directly on the metal surface. A thin iron sheet or a paint finish can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only works on the open side of the magnet, as the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
This version has an external thread on the back of the pot magnet. This magnet can be quickly screwed onto housings or devices using a hexagon nut. It's maximum operating temperature is 200 °C.
Pot magnets, which are otherwise identical in construction but with neodymium, are significantly stronger for the same size.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets / flat grippers / pot magnets are particularly often used in industry, trade fairs and assembly construction. The strong pot magnets have also become indispensable in the advertising / display construction / lighting sector.

Trade fair and shop fitting
As door locks
When building loudspeakers
When closing cell phone cases
Caution: keep the magnets away from small children, as they can swallow the neodymium disc magnets.
In the worst case, this can lead to life-threatening injuries. Therefore, handle the very strong magnets with care.

Magnetic foil replaces sunroof seal
Our customer sent us a somewhat unconventional but effective solution: magnetic foil replaces sunroof seal
Magnetic foil replaces sunroof seal
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to inform you about my use of your magnetic foil:
Problem:
The sunroof on an old Audi 80 (built in 1987) no longer works properly. It can no longer be closed completely (approx. 2 - 3 cm remain open at the front). A repair is not worthwhile because the entire roof lining has to be removed. The sunroof would have to be completely dismantled. This costs around EUR 400 - 600. For a vehicle purchase price of EUR 700.
Since the car is not considered a valuable vintage car and I only want to drive it until the next MOT (11/2013). I looked for an inexpensive solution to prevent rain from penetrating.
Solution:
I ordered 1 m of your black magnetic foil, item no. MF-615x0.85.
After simply cutting it to size with a standard cutter knife, the foil was put on. It was thoroughly tested on a long motorway journey.
Luckily we caught a thunderstorm. This made it possible to check the tightness. No complaints!
Advantages of this solution:
- very inexpensive
- still looks reasonably good
- can be removed at any time without damaging the paint, unlike adhesive foil or filling
- because it is easy to remove, the old condition can be restored when selling or if repairs are carried out
- in very hot weather (rather rare this summer) the foil can be removed and the sunroof opened
- since we often park the car in a parking lot for a few weeks when we go on a sailing trip with our yacht, we no longer need to worry about rain getting in.
Disadvantages:
- The only thing that comes to mind is that the film could possibly be stolen because it is so easy to remove, but thanks to the low price, that would be bearable.
I would like to thank you very much for the prompt delivery in top quality and wish you continued success!

Hello dear Magnet Shop team,
We are sending you two pictures of an idea we have for using your magnets.
We have a steel boat and were looking for good and practical mosquito screens in front of our window. There are no standard dimensions in boat building. My husband had a great idea.
In the pictures you can see great fly screens (important protection against mosquitoes in the water) made of glass fiber fabric, attached with a discmagnet Ø 12 x 6 mm
No fixtures had to be drilled into our boat. Visually it looks great. The purpose is fully met.
Should the fiberglass mat no longer look so good due to weather-related reasons, we can simply replace it thanks to your magnets.
You will be amazed at the magnetic power of the neodymium magnets. The extremely high magnetization created by the neodymium-iron-boron used transforms even small discs into powerful magnets. We offer our largest selection of neodymium disc magnets. You wouldn't believe what you can use the super magnets for.
Most of our neodymium disc magnets have the magnetic poles on the two opposite circular surfaces (axial magnetization). Some magnetic disks are diametrically magnetized; recognizable by the extra picture in the product picture.
If you are looking for weaker and cheaper disc magnets, you will find them among the ferrite discmagnets.

To make room on the work surface, the tea tins should fit under the shelf hanging directly above them (Fig. IMG_4428). Instead of a more complex storage solution, a friend came up with the idea of using magnets. Voilà.
Using two neodymium pot magnet (16x5 mm) with a recess, a tea tin weighing up to 600 g can be hung up in a "floating" manner. Only two magnets are needed. This should prevent scratches on the tins, but also create a certain amount of acoustic insulation when attaching them. Alternatively, you could use a single, larger and stronger magnet. A larger surface area would also make attaching them easier. You could just as well do without the felt altogether, in which case - as I said - even a pot magnet measuring 16x5 mm would be sufficient.
Tea cans
The shelf is made of wood. Please pre-drill thin holes. The bottom of the shelf should not split.
The felt should completely cover the magnets. This should be screwed between the shelf and the magnet. This will ensure that it stays in place over time. The screws must not pull the felt onto the thread when attaching it, so it's best to cut it very lightly in the appropriate places. To do this, you can wrap the felt around the magnet once and mark the "holes" with a pencil, where you can make a tiny cut with scissors. The magnets can then be prepared with the screw and felt. Then all that's left is to screw them under the shelf (hold the screws with the magnet in place beforehand to check that they are the right length)
And now we have a practical way of hanging our tea cans.
Flexible Magnetic Wall
A very interesting idea to spice up your home: Flexible magnetic wall built yourself with neodymium magnets
Flexible Magnetic Wall
Hello dear Magnetshop team,
I am presenting my flexible magnet pin board to you here.
The template for this was the one in PinPuc systems.
As this system is too expensive for me, I bought hard foam balls from a toy shop, cut them in half, painted them, stuck them to the wall and connected them with spring steel wires (diameter: 1 mm).
With your rod magnets 4.0 x 10.0 mm N45 you can create a creative, flexible pin board that you can even set up around the corner or along the ceiling.
I hope you like my idea!
HDF refrigerator magnets
Individual, practical, inexpensive - this is how you could describe our customer's magnet application: HDF refrigerator magnets
HDF refrigerator magnets
Hello, I make magnets out of HDF and your disc magnet FERRIT Ø 20 mm x 6 mm.
I mount original photos on the HDF board and stick your magnet to the back with superglue.
These magnets are particularly decorative on the fridge and can also hold several pieces of paper if necessary because it is a nice, strong magnet.
Ferrite magnets: cheap and very robust
Ferrite magnets are the cheapest magnets for simple applications. However, compared to neodymium magnets, they are also significantly weaker. They can withstand temperatures of up to 250 °C, are rust-resistant and therefore suitable for outdoor use.
In our range you will find a variety of different sizes, divided into ferrite ring magnets and ferrite disc magnets as well as ferrite block magnets. Our hard ferrite magnets are ceramic materials and are very hard and brittle.
The areas of application cover a wide range of possibilities. Ferrite magnets are used, for example, in the construction of inexpensive refrigerator magnets, but also as school magnets or craft magnets and even in loudspeaker construction. If you buy a ferrite magnet, you will therefore receive a real all-round helper.

The customer attaches his advertising with our magnets: attaching an advertising banner.
Attaching an advertising banner
Since I simply didn't feel like drilling holes in the new hall for fastening material for an advertising banner, I came up with the idea of using magnets for this.
I removed the hooks of the magnets and secured the banner using a disc and a suitable screw. The advantage is that the moment is not as great as when the lever is extended using the pre-installed hooks and, in addition, individual magnets cannot be tempted to be stolen (if they do, the thief then has to take the entire advertisement with him).

Farbspiel, Magnetfuß, Plexiglas
Even if the result does not correspond to the original idea - our customer has nevertheless created something unique: Design object - tower made of reflective plexiglass with play of colors.
Design object - Tower made of reflective plexiglass with play of colors
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fully realize my original idea. This was to build a tower of neodymium magnets and plexiglass panels, similar to the one in the pictures below, which would stand on a support plate at a 90° angle from the wall. However, I overestimated the pulling force of the magnets and underestimated gravity ;) In other words, it falls apart if you tilt it.
So this vertical stack was created out of necessity. The plexiglass is from the fluorescent range. I simply bought several samples and removed the labels (lighter fluid! Otherwise you'll be fiddling around forever...). The plexiglass reacts very strongly to light with UV components. Since my LED lamp in the room emits UV light, especially with mixed blue tones (or blue ;) ), this enormous play of colors is created. The photos have not been edited!
Positioning for stencil printers for circuit board assembly
A magnet application from our customer: positioning for stencil printers for circuit board assembly.
Positioning for stencil printers for circuit board assembly
A steel sheet with recesses is positioned over a circuit board. Apply solder paste with a squeegee. After removing the stencil, there are small "islands" of solder paste in the places where soldering is to take place. The components are placed in this paste. After assembly, the circuit board is placed in a special oven. The solder paste melts and solders the components to the circuit board.
The original fixing tool for the printer is quite large and inflexible. Small pot magnets are therefore ideal for circuit boards with an outer contour and smaller prototypes.
The pot magnets NFGB-06-Z and NFGB-10-Z have a standard bolt with a 3 mm thread and M3 x 6 mm grub screws. NFGB-16-Z is probably even better suited for this.
How neodymium pot magnets with steel pot work:
A neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metal surface. A thin iron sheet or a paint finish can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only works on the open side of the magnet, as the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Magnetic design of a CD shelf
One of our customers has found the perfect solution to keep track of their CD collection: magnetic design of a CD shelf.
Magnetic design of a CD shelf
I had been thinking for a long time about how I could make my CD collection more manageable. And then there is always the question of how to sort CDs. As individual as a CD collection is, the sorting principle is just as individual. And with a large CD collection there is the additional problem that you can lose track of which CDs you already have.
And then, what use is the best system if I still have to pick up each CD individually to find the right one? In other words: up until now I have always gone mad when I wanted to quickly (!!!) search for a CD.
I came up with the idea of buying magnetic tapes, which I can then cut to size and label individually. And the big advantage is the different colors, so that I can point out different genres and individual composers etc. at a glance. And (!!!!) that I can move the cut magnetic labels accordingly if the CD collection changes over time. It couldn't be more individual.
Magnetic marking tape as a visual aid
Like many other users before you, discover the high-quality magnetic marking tape. So that things can really be clearly marked, these are colored magnetic tapes. These are available in different widths and colors so that your specific requirements can be met. This also means that customers receive the tape on a roll. You can cut it yourself with scissors. This means you can create both very small and large markings - quickly and individually. Each colored tape in the range sticks to all metallic surfaces such as whiteboards, flipcharts, metal walls or directly to metal. This means that the possible uses of these practical helpers are quite wide-ranging. However, you should note that these colored tapes cannot be used as an adhesive base for magnets.
Magnetic holder for landing net
One of our customers has found a practical application for our cone magnets; magnetic holder for landing net.
Magnetic holder for landing net
My landing net is always within reach thanks to the magnets.
Of course, there are no limits to your imagination and you can use a system like this to fix all kinds of things that you need to have close at hand without having to rummage around in bags, backpacks or similar.
It's child's play to implement. A 4.5 mm hole was drilled into 2 cone magnets (19 mm diameter). Several scenarios are conceivable for attaching the respective objects.
Shown as an example: once using a small carabiner or alternatively using a snap ring in combination with another carabiner.
If the magnets come loose from the plastic holder, they can be irreversibly fixed with 2-component epoxy resin glue.
And the best thing: the homemade system holds much better and is many times cheaper than commercial systems.

Magnetic attachment of "changeable notes"
Magnetic attachment of "changeable notes" on a warning sign as an addition to a warning triangle.
A warning triangle indicates a hazard, but not what type of hazard.
Magnetic attachment of "changeable notes"
However, this information can be decisive for the behavior of approaching road users. When you see a warning triangle, you often "only" expect a breakdown vehicle.
Traces of oil, slippery roads or accidents entail additional dangers.
The warning sign shown provides a remedy here and can be used very well in combination with a small LED warning light.
Construction:
The universal warning sign consists of an aluminum sheet (weight saving), which is covered with yellow reflective foil and orange, fluorescent foil. On the back it is reinforced by 2 transverse aluminum profiles to prevent buckling.
Steel washers on the back allow the translucent writing foils to be attached with 4 strong magnets on the front. The lettering is printed on foil and laminated. It makes the material insensitive to wear and weather. The foil is not damaged by magnetic attachment and moisture and dirt, which would impair readability, cannot penetrate. In addition, the lettering foil lies tightly against the retaining plate and cannot be lifted off by the wind or the draft of passing vehicles.
Four holes in the aluminum sheet allow it to be attached with cable ties or wires to delineators or a ground spike (handle of a folding spade) that is available in the trunk, for example.
A small, very light-intensive warning light attracts additional attention - even during the day.

Even with standard loungers, a towel is quickly blown down by the wind when not in use.
The magnetic attachment shown provides an easy remedy here:
If the lounger does not have a tubular steel frame (e.g. also on vacation), it can also be attached using a combination of magnet and steel washer. The fastening then takes place in the area of the covering. (see green circle)
Neodymium magnets are also commercially available under the designation neodymium-iron-boron or NdFeB magnets. Neodymium is one of the so-called "rare earths". The special and difficult thing about these metals is not their rarity, but the complicated extraction and release from other compounds. Accordingly, neodymium magnets are quite expensive compared to other magnets. But they are among the strongest magnets in the world - and this is already the case with small models of just a few centimeters. Before you buy neodymium magnets, you should think about the shape that is ideal for you.
Strong magnets for hobby and industry
Industry and hobbyists rely on an effective force that is many times greater than that of ordinary magnets. For example compared to ferrite magnets. New technologies ensure that the heat point at which neodymium magnets lose their magnetism has already shifted far upwards. Scientists assume that both the magnetic force and the hot spot can even be significantly improved in the near future. Neodymium magnets are not only very strong. They can be used at full power under extreme conditions. Such as high temperatures in industrial plants. Branches of industry such as PC and mobile phone manufacturers, engine workshops and high technologies are now unthinkable without neodymium magnets. Hard drives run faster, speakers perform better, it all works because of a small magnet with super powers.

The fairy lights are magnetically attached to a gutter to decorate your home according to Christmas.
It's only annoying if you can only attach the light chain to the wooden roof with cable ties, for example.
Fairy lights attached magnetically to a gutter
But if you take hookmagnets Ø 16 mm, attach them to the gutter and then hang the chain of lights, you can easily avoid the problem. After Christmas, you can simply remove the magnets from the gutter without leaving any residue.
Finally you can assemble the Christmas decorations without a guilty conscience. The hook magnets can be removed without leaving any residue after the Christmas season.
Fairy lights or other Christmas accessories can be easily attached with the hooks.
As an alternative to the rain gutter is a pergola or garage. You can use the magnets for larger projects around the house.
Functioning of the neodymium pot magnets with steel pot and screwed-in hooks:
A strong neodymium magnet is embedded in a steel pot. This metal housing protects the neodymium magnet from damage and increases the adhesive force. In order to achieve an optimal adhesive force, the pot magnet must rest directly on the metallic surface. A thin sheet of iron or paint can reduce the adhesive force very quickly. The adhesive force only acts on the open magnet side, since the steel pot shields the magnetic effect.
Special feature:
The hook is located on the back of the magnetic plate and is screwed into the existing threaded bush with an internal thread. The maximum operating temperature is 80 ° C.
Often you also need the neodymium eyelet magnets, which you can also find in our shop. If a white paint and less adhesive force is required, use our white ferrite hook magnets.
The holding magnets / assembly magnets/ pot magnets are used particularly often in industry, trade fairs and assembly. The strong pot magnets are also indispensable in the advertising sector / display construction / lighting sector. Our hook magnets are always gladly used when attaching objects to ceilings.
Attaching mobile lamps in car trailers
Our customer has sent us an interesting application for our magnets: attaching mobile lamps in a car trailer.
Attaching mobile lamps in car trailers
Hello Magnets4you team,
I have a tarpaulin structure on my car trailer made of a galvanized 20 x 20mm square steel frame.
As I often load and unload in the dark, I need interior lighting that uses little power. Nevertheless, it should be powerful. In addition, it should be quick to dismantle and replace.
I have therefore opted for 6 OSRAM DOT-it waterproof LED lights with 3 LEDs each. These are waterproof and actually have a ring magnet built in, which you can't really call powerful.
Anyway, the lights have fallen off the square frame. What now?
Then I discovered your website and bought disc magnets with a diameter of 20 mm, a thickness of 3 mm and a holding force of 4.1 kg.
For attachment, I also ordered double-sided adhesive dots, also with a diameter of 20 mm.
In the battery compartment of the OSRAM lamp you will find, among other things, a ring for Velcro fastening, which you can also leave in.
I have now simply stuck the disc magnet to the base of the OSRAM lamp with an adhesive dot.
The original magnet, which is still inside, also presses the disc magnet against the housing, as the two magnets attract each other.
This very effectively prevents the strong disc magnet from coming off the housing again despite the adhesive dot.
Hookmagnet as a door holder
Necessity is the mother of invention; Hookmagnet as a door holder in the basement.
Sometimes you just want to go into the basement for a moment and before you can get out again, the door has slammed shut again.
To prevent this from happening again, we attached a hookmagnet to a wooden cupboard with a screw and the appropriate washers.
Now the door is held by the magnet and can no longer fall "automatically".

A magnetic base for a metal sculpture was used to securely fasten it.
Magnetic base for metal sculpture
Our customer used a ferrite blockmagnet.
Unfortunately, this is not really easy to see in the picture, but it serves its purpose. The metal sculpture stands securely and stably on its base.
Ferrite Blockmagnets – Blockmagnets made of ferrite
Our ferrite blockmagnets are magnetized through the height (axial). The magnetic poles are therefore on the two large surfaces. In contrast to the neodymium blockmagnets with a higher adhesive force, these ferrite magnets have a higher operating temperature (250°C).
What distinguishes ferrite blockmagnets?
Ferrite magnets are used in a wide range of different areas - whether in the office as holding magnets, as souvenirs, fridge magnets, door closers, etc.
They are also used in motors, loudspeakers, and magnetic couplings.
Their advantage is that they are extremely corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant. They are therefore also ideal for use in outdoor areas.
Hard ferrite magnets are the cheapest and most used variant of permanent or permanent magnets.
Our square-cut ferrite magnets are also characterized by the fact that they are very robust. They are available in different versions, so you are guaranteed to find the right model for every application. Depending on the size of the model, the adhesive force can be several kilograms. For example, our largest magnetic block made of ferrite holds up to 20 kilograms.
The magnetization is axial - so the poles are on the top or bottom of the ferrite blockmagnets.

Carrera-Go, Tuningmagnet
Do you really want to accelerate on your Carrera track, but your Carrera GO vehicles just fly off the track in every corner?
We have the solution!
Carrera GO vehicles
In our range you will find the tuning magnet for all Carrera GO and D143 cars!
So that the fast Carrera speedsters don't fly off the track too often!
This tuning magnet has the original dimensions of 10 x 5.5 x 2 mm and can be exchanged 1:1 for the original magnet of all GO and D143 vehicles.
With such a stronger magnet, a lot can be improved in the driving behavior of the racing car. Visually, this tuning magnet can hardly be distinguished from the Carrera original magnet.
Due to the significantly higher adhesion of the tuning magnet, the vehicles stick better to the racetrack. Much higher speeds can be achieved, especially in curves, without the remote-controlled vehicle breaking off the track.
This will make your car racetrack even faster and more exciting! More racing fun is guaranteed!
How to install such a magnet and what else you should pay attention to is explained very clearly in a video by Kaldan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Jz1U_HLSE
With a small screwdriver and a little manual skill, you can upgrade your speedster considerably.
Neodymium blockmagnets
With most of our neodymium blockmagnets, the north and south poles are on the two opposite large surfaces. The few exceptions can be seen on the extra image. Like our neodymium discmagnets, these cuboids also fall into the "neodymium super magnets" category. With our large selection you will definitely find the right magnet for your purposes.
We offer the strong neodymium magnets with a nickel or epoxy coating. For example, magnets with a black epoxy coating are better suited for humid environments.

Two lessons of a special kind: Elementary school experiments in Wombach.
Elementary school experiments
Mr. Welzenbach and Mr. Weidner from the magnet shop in Lohr presented two magnet experts in the classroom. The students experienced the phenomenon of magnetism in a variety of ways.
According to the school's press release: numerous materials on the subject that they brought with them enabled the children to directly encounter the learning content. They were amazed at a floating globe and bizarre shapes made of iron filings. Measured their strength against a particularly strong magnet. Were able to understand the effect of magnets themselves in many small experiments.
What was new and interesting for many children was that there is also magnetic liquid and even magnetic paint.
After a brief reflection by the children, in which they expressed their enthusiasm for the entertaining school hours, the two guests surprised the third graders with a very special gift: each pupil received a pair of chirping magnets.
Class teacher Klüg was delighted with the practical teaching material that was donated to the school and thanked the two magnet experts for the visit and their small gifts.
