PM Series Magnet

The PM series magnet is a high-strength Neodymium magnet securely housed within a stainless-steel socket cap screw, offering a rugged and compact solution for proximity sensing and magnetic triggering applications. Available in both North Pole and South Pole versions, this series provides flexibility for polarity-specific sensing requirements.

Design Notes:

  • Gap is from the face of the sensor to the surface of the magnet’s South Pole surface.
  • Clear “S” engraving on South Pole variant or “N” for North Pole variant ensures quick visual identification during installation.
  • Gaps are calculated and will vary slightly part to part.
  • Use non-magnetic mounting hardware when installing.
  • Refer to the sensor specifications sheet to determine operate gap range.
  • The presence of ferrous metals near the magnet effects field strength at the sensor location.
  • The presence of steel, magnets, or electromagnetic fields will affect the operate gap range.

Standards and Certifications

RoHS Compliant
  • Polarity Selection: Choose between North or South Pole versions to match sensor orientation or system requirements.
