Neodymium Magnetic Fixing Plate – D60mm | M20 Thread

Magnetic Product Description:

This Neodymium Magnetic Plate is specifically designed for securely attaching sockets to steel formwork. With a 60mm diameter and an M20 thread, it boasts an impressive pull force of 50kg and can be easily identified by its unique AMF Magnetics Part Number MFP20.

Uses for our Neodymium Magnetic Plates:

Steel formwork that moulds prefabricated concrete sections is more common around large scale construction projects because of its strength, impervious nature and the ability to reuse the steel mouldings on the same project or future constructions. Although the initial cost of steel is high compared to timber, the cost is recouped over time in better durability and longer service life and also saves money by reducing manual labour costs and overall construction time. Magnets help to embed necessary fixtures inside the concrete structure correctly. Fixing Plate magnets bond with steel formwork to hold hoses, electrical conduit or lifting sockets in place while the concrete is poured. After completion, they are easily removed. Attachment points between the plate and steel formwork should be cleaned and in total contact to prevent the bond weakening and to stop wet concrete from penetrating the bonded magnetic surfaces.

This device contains powerful Rare Earth magnets that keep the plate in the required position on steel mouldings or forms during the casting process. Lightly oiling the casing will ensure its easy removal and make it reusable and able to be reallocated to another project or site. Various sizes are available to suit a range of concrete panels.
