TKmAx Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) I am no good with technical mumbo jumbo I have found what appears to be a good deal for 100 rare earth magnets but cant work out if they are going to be any good from the technical info the seller has written. Can any science experts help me out and advise to buy or not to buy. MANY THANKS Item link : - Edited December 4, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've no idea but have been thinking along the lines of getting some of these, to attach the cylinders I get (either from Russ when his next run gets going) or build as I think the guy who put together the Sterling Blaster blog used some on his build to attach the same. I guess like me its going to come down what it is exactly your wanting to use them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKmAx Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I want some decent ones to hold down cover strips whilst gluing, I bought some the other day but they are pants, so was needing advice ont he right ones to get that will actually hold stuff tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Basically the higher N-number you see the stronger the magnet is. The highest available so far is N52, but I've never seen those on sale. It's not hard to find N48 (second strongest) on ebay however.

TKmAx Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I will order them then, thanks for your help (wife is annoyed on the waste of money on my previous magnets lol see I should have asked first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 You can also stack them on top of each other for even more pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john danter Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 If this is the same post on the UKG...? Don't forget that lateral pull is a 1/4 of the KG rating So 10KG pull magnets will take 10KG of force to pull 'away' from one another As for 'sliding' them apart... You only need 2.5KG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
