Master Magnetics Inc. RB44CBX Round Base Magnet 12 Lb

Product Description

The MASTER MAGNETICS INC. RB44CBX is a ceramic round base magnet rated for 12 pounds of pull force. It features a low-profile steel cup design with a center attachment hole that accepts a hook, knob, or threaded fastener. The magnet is active on one side only, directing flux through the base for maximum holding strength against ferrous surfaces. A nickel or nickel/chrome plating over the steel cup provides corrosion resistance and extends service life. This type of magnet is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and facility maintenance professionals to mount inspection equipment, dial indicators, lamps, signs, and antennas in fixed or temporary positions.

The RB44CBX is suited for light-duty industrial and commercial mounting applications where a removable, repositionable magnet mount is preferred over drilled fasteners. Common uses include holding wire gauges and indicator tools during diagnostics, suspending signage or cables, and securing antennas or sensors to metal enclosures and panels. The single-sided magnetic design makes it straightforward to position without unintended attraction to surrounding metalwork. This part ships in a package quantity of 100 units, making it a practical stocking item for service shops and supply rooms.

Key Features

• Package quantity of 100 units supports bulk stocking and service fleet use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose ceramic round base magnet for use on flat or lightly curved ferrous metal surfaces in light industrial, commercial, and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - thread a hook or knob into the center hole to the appropriate depth and place the base against a clean ferrous surface. Ensure the mounting surface is free of paint, oil, or debris that would reduce effective pull force. For temporary diagnostic setups, confirm the magnet base will not migrate due to vibration or incidental contact with adjacent metal components. This product does not require electrical isolation, but keep it away from sensitive electronic components, magnetic media, and pacemaker devices in accordance with standard site safety practices.
