Featured here is our INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH 350 lb neodymium PERMANENT rare earth magnet manufactured by Southeastern Metal Cooperative®.  Measuring a mere 3 inches in diameter and .79 inches thick, this ultra-powerful magnet is capable of lifting up to 350 lbs of metal.  Our magnets stand up to the most demanding professional applications and are relied upon for their superior strength and lifelong accuracy.  Make no mistake about it, these are tremendously powerful magnets that meet or exceed the specifications for a diverse variety of professional applications.

The magnet featured in this advertisement is a PERMANENT magnet and will NEVER lose its magnetic attraction to metal.  Unlike an electromagnet that loses its attraction to metal when disconnected from its power source, our rare earth magnets NEVER lose their attraction to metal and will remain bonded to a metal surface indefinitely with a force equivalent to 350 lbs..  The attractive force of our magnets does not degrade over time.  Once our magnet becomes magnetically bonded to a metal surface, the only way to remove it is to slide it off laterally of the surface laterally or winch it off vertically at a force greater than 350 lbs..  These magnets are the real deal and will get the job done (PLEASE READ THE CAUTION BELOW)!!

We Have Put This Magnet Through Its Paces: We have seen what this magnet can do and have put it through its paces.  To demonstrate the attractive force of this magnet, we attached a chain to the magnet's hook and placed the magnet on a welded chunk of milled steel that weighed in at precisely 349.8 lbs..  Using a chain hoist, we were able to lift the steel off of the floor relying solely on the magnet's intrinsic attractive force to suspend the steel in midair (SEE CAUTION BELOW -NEVER USE THIS MAGNET TO SUSPEND A METAL OBJECT OVER TOP OF PERSONS OR VALUABLE PROPERTY). 

Bar-none, our magnets are ABSOLUTELY the strongest magnets for their size in the industry. 

CAUTION:

The magnet featured in this advertisement is not a toy and must be handled with extreme caution.  The improper handling and/or  use of this magnet can result in irrevocable damage to property as well as serious physical damage.  While the magnetic field generated by a rare earth magnet is rather shallow, it should not be placed directly on top of computer equipment or equipment subject to detriment by magnetic interference. Because this magnet is attracted to metal at a force equivalent to 350 lbs, it is absolutely imperative that the user never position his/her fingers and/or other appendages in between the magnet and a metal surface. This magnet's attraction to metal is so intense that fingers would be literally severed if inadvertently caught beneath the magnet.  

By all means, never stand beneath the magnet when it is carrying a load as a sudden shift in weight could result in the load disengaging from the magnet and falling to the ground.  The magnet should never be used to suspend any metal object above a person or object of value.

What is a rare earth magnet?

Rare earth magnets are the strongest naturally occurring PERMANENT magnets on Earth.  Unlike inexpensive and semi-permanent ferrite or alnico magnets, rare earth magnets are immensely stronger and are comprised of alloys of rare earth elements. 

The 350 lb magnet featured here is called a "neodymium" (Nd₂Fe₁₄B) rare earth magnet. Neodymium magnets are by far the strongest category of rare earth magnets.  Our magnets are formed from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron.

What do you use something like this for?

The uses for a quality rare earth magnet with a power rating equivalent to that of our magnet are innumerable.  The same magnets as presented for sale here are presently being employed in such diverse industries as metal salvage, energy production, metal work, general science, propulsion systems and many other industries.  The magnet featured here is also great for hobbyists and science enthusiasts. There is nothing like our magnets when it comes to wowing the audience at a science fair.

          USES:

• Metal Salvage: The magnet featured in this advertisement has become an INDUSTRY STANDARD for those who make a living working with or salvaging metal. Our magnet makes short-work of separating out cheaper, non-attractive, metals from piles of valuable attractive metals.  Many professionals use our magnet to verify whether a metal is truly stainless, as stainless metals bear no attractive qualities and will not stick to our magnet.

• Energy Production: Our magnets have been used to form the core of powerful wind turbine generators as well as traditional combustion driven generators. It is absolutely amazing how much electrical  power ONE RARE EARTH MAGNET can be used to generate without ever losing its potency or having to be refueled.

• Heavy Lifting and Recovery Operations: Our magnet, when combined with a chain hoist or gantry crane, works great as a heavy lifter.  Several of our customers have used this magnet to retrieve metal objects as heavy as small outboard motors and even anchors that have been lost at sea.  By simply attaching the magnet to a strong chain and dropping to the sea floor, valuable marine tools can be salvaged from even the murkiest of waters (please remember to rinse your magnet with fresh water and dry it thoroughly after exposing it to sea water so as to prevent premature corrosion).

• Hobbyists and Science Enthusiasts: Our magnets are wonderful tools that teachers can use to demonstrate how magnets work and how other objects are affected by magnetic forces.  Scientists and hobbyists can also use our quality magnets for experiments or to find new and wonderful applications for powerful rare earth magnets.
