Adhesive-backed magnets are extremely versatile, which means they are ideal in a wide range of business applications. They are coated with 3M adhesive 467M glue on one side so they don’t lose adhesion over time. Note: Most adhesive magnet packs have 3M adhesive on the north Pole. The remaining half has adhesive on the south Pole. Both sides of the magnet attract to metal, and most magnets are sold in pairs should you need two magnets.  Adhesive-backed magnets can range in pull force anywhere from 1.5 pounds up to about 10 pounds. If you're in need of a stronger pull force, you can consider ordering custom adhesive magnets. Continue reading →

If you’re a lawnmower manufacturer, you’re probably aware of the benefits of using magnets in lawnmowers. For instance, they are reliable and allow mowers to run without a battery. In particular, magnets play an important role in generating power for the spark plug inside the mower’s magneto. They can also be used as a magnetic sweeper on commercial lawnmowers to avoid hazardous materials flying out at high speeds when mowing over them.  Continue reading →
