Neodymium magnet systems in different styles
A magnet system consists of one or several magnets that are installed on a steel plate. The adhesive force of the magnets is thus concentrated on one side of the system, resulting in a higher overall adhesive force. Rubberised magnet systems are very popular at supermagnete.pt because the rubber coating protects delicate surfaces from scratches. Discover the diverse assortment in our online shop and find the right magnet systems for your next magnet project.

But what sets rubberised magnet systems apart? How do magnet systems work? We will show you what makes rubber-coated magnet systems so special:
Increased displacement force
Our magnet systems feature a white or black rubber coating. This casing, made of rubber, increases the displacement force, as the rubber enhances friction on the surface.
Strong adhesive force
Magnetic systems consist of one or more neodymium magnets attached to a steel plate. The alternating pole arrangement of the magnets concentrates their adhesive forces, thereby increasing the overall adhesive force of the magnet system.
Can be combined with each other
Most magnet systems can be combined with each other. Due to the alternating pole arrangement of the individual disc magnets on the steel plate, the magnet systems can be combined with identical magnet systems as desired.
Wide range of accessories
The accessories can be exchanged as necessary depending on the application. Choose the right accessories for your project from plastic handles, screw hooks and screw eyes, metal discs for screw mounting, self-adhesive metal discs, nuts and bolts.What’s inside a magnet system? A look under the rubber coating
1 Rubber coating in black or white
In our assortment, you will find magnet systems with a black or white rubber coating. Choose the colour that best suits your decor. The white or black colour makes the magnet systems very discreet.Rubberisation of the magnet systems increases friction on smooth surfaces, making it harder to slide the magnet system out of position.
The increased displacement force
is a major advantage, especially when attaching magnet systems to a wall, and the weight acts parallel to the contact surface.
The material is so thin that it does not affect the adhesive force of the magnet system.
2 Fastening options for different applications
Our assortment includes magnet systems with internal threads, screw sockets and threaded studs. Depending on the application, you can combine these versions with various accessories. Screw round hooks, L-hooks, eyelets or handles onto these magnet systems. The rubber coating makes these magnets ideal for attaching to delicate surfaces.3 One or more magnets on a steel plate
Depending on their size, magnet systems feature one or more neodymium magnets mounted on a round or square steel plate. In small magnet systems, a single multipolar magnet is used, while larger magnet systems contain four to twelve magnets with alternating poles. The arrangement of the magnets concentrates their adhesive force on one side of the system, resulting in a stronger overall adhesive force than individual neodymium magnets or pot magnets can offer.Interesting facts about magnet systems
Differences between magnet systems and pot magnets
The term 'magnet system' is not used consistently in the magnet industry. Sometimes magnet systems are likened to pot magnets, which is what we have done for a long time. To ensure a better understanding of how these products work, we would now like to make a clearer distinction between the two terms. The designs of these magnets have, besides some similarities, also some important differences, as shown in the following summary:Pot magnets
- A pot magnet contains only one magnet.
- The magnet is embedded in a steel pot.
- In general, pot magnets do not have a rubber casing since the magnet inside the pot loses a significant amount of adhesive force even at a small distance.
- Two pot magnets cannot be combined with each other. They repel each other because they have the same pole on their respective contact surfaces.
Magnet systems
- Small magnet systems consist of one magnet; larger magnet systems have several magnets, assembled with alternating poles.
- The magnets are mounted on a steel plate.
- Many magnet systems are coated in rubber or plastic.
- Two magnet systems can be combined with each other due to the alternating polarity of the magnets. However, depending on the adhesive force, they may be difficult to separate again.
Can two identical magnet systems be combined?
The arrangement of the individual magnets on the steel plate allows the magnet systems to be combined without the magnets repelling each other. This is particularly advantageous for the following applications:- Attaching shade sails or tarpaulins: Place a magnet system on each side of the material to hold the fabric in place. You can then hang the round hook on the fastener or eyelet. This is particularly useful for temporary structures, such as those at trade fairs or other events, where you do not want to drill holes but have ferromagnetic surfaces available.
- For transporting thin sheets of iron or glass: Position a magnet system with a handle on each side of the sheet. This makes it easier to grip the object and carry it. In addition, the magnet systems can be easily removed again by tilting the handle. However, please check beforehand whether the available adhesive force is sufficient for the thickness and weight of the material.
How do round magnet systems differ from rectangular magnet systems?
In our assortment, we carry round magnet systems with white or black rubber coating and black rubberised rectangular magnet systems. Both versions have their advantages:
Round magnet systems:
- When attaching the magnets, you don’t need to worry about aligning the system with an edge or at a right angle.
- You can focus on aligning the accessories, as the position of the magnet does not matter. This is especially beneficial when using L-hooks.
Rectangular magnet systems:
- Rectangular magnet systems can be precisely positioned in corners.
- If you want to place several magnets next to each other, they can be aligned seamlessly.
- In addition, angular magnet systems are available with two mounting options. These include two screw sockets, threaded studs, or internal threads, offering the following advantages: They enable a stable installation of the magnet systems. With two mounting points, you can securely attach rails or plates over a wider area. Additionally, having two mounting points prevents the magnet system from twisting around the vertical axis.
Tips for the use of magnet systems
- Use magnet systems with neodymium magnets for interior applications. Though the rubber coating protects the neodymium magnets somewhat from water and moisture, rust may form during long-term outdoor use. As a result, individual magnet pieces could splinter or break off, or the magnet could break entirely; all of which leads to a loss of its original adhesive force. Magnet systems with ferrite magnets, on the other hand, can be used outdoors without hesitation.
- The indicated adhesive force is always measured perpendicular to the intended mounting surface. Because of the displacement force, the load capacity of magnet systems is considerably less when used on a wall as opposed to ceiling applications. With a rubberised magnet system, the adhesive force in the shear direction is significantly higher, because it is increased by friction. The tensile load-bearing capacity, however, is slightly lower.
- Magnet systems often contain several magnets that are arranged with alternating poles. It makes it possible to combine two magnet systems with each other. If you would like to separate two particularly strong magnet systems again, you may find the information on our FAQ page "How do I separate two strong magnets? How do I combine them again?" helpful.
- A wide range of accessories available in our online shop will provide the necessary add-ons, so your magnet system is the perfect fit for your next project.
- Magnet systems are suitable for use in various sectors, such as shopfitting or lighting engineering and technology, for example.
Where are rubberised magnet systems used?
Since the coating on the magnet systems protects delicate surfaces from damage, rubberised magnet systems are suitable for attaching to camper vans, motorhomes or cars. Use screwed-in eyelets and hooks to attach shade sails, clotheslines, hooks or fairy lights to your vehicle during your trip. For more tips, take a look at our camping guide.Form even more creative mounting options with rubberised magnet systems:
- Create a minimalist tool rack by fastening screw-on magnet systems to the wall. Metal tools will adhere to the magnets.
- At trade fairs and exhibitions, attach a metal disc to portable items used for product displays. The disc will stick to screwed-on magnet systems, keeping the items easily accessible when needed. When not in use, the display pieces can be quickly and safely stored.
- Magnet systems featuring threaded studs can be screwed directly into cameras, allowing you to create a minimalist and stable tripod that can be easily attached to door frames or metal structures. For an application example, please see product RCNS-74.
