Troubleshooting and FAQs for Beginners
Common Challenges and Solutions
“My magnets aren’t strong enough for my project.”
Solution:
- Try using several smaller magnets instead of one large magnet.
- Install magnets with best orientation for strongest force
- Minimize Friction or Weight into your Design.
- Maintain contact with iron/steel surfaces
“The adhesive failed and my magnets came loose.”
Solution:
- Surface must be cleaned and dry prior to bonding
- Use the right type of glue for your materials
- Establish a mechanical bond when it is practicable
- Think about environment of your application
“My magnets are attracting/repelling differently than expected.”
Solution:
- And don’t forget that magnets are polar!
- Have poles marked for consistent direction.
- Test fits before gluing it all together
- Try magnetic field viewers for visualisation if you have them
Getting More from Your N35 Magnets
Performance tuning tips:
