5/8 x 7/32 Inch Steel Cup for Magnets (#6 screw) NSC82

Product Description

The nsc82 is a 5/8" diameter by 7/32" thick nickel-plated steel cup designed to hold compatible neodymium magnets for secure mechanical mounting. Its 82° countersunk center hole accepts a #6 screw, which is concealed beneath the installed magnet for a clean, low-profile installation. The steel cup can be recessed for flush mounting and is designed for use with the d82 disc magnet as well as r822cs-n and r822cs-s countersunk ring magnets. Magnets and mounting hardware are sold separately.

The nsc82 steel cup provides a simple way to mechanically install compatible magnets in wood, metal, and other materials. It can be recessed into a surface for a clean, flush installation, while the countersunk mounting hole securely fastens the cup in place and allows the installed magnet to cover the screw. It is a versatile choice for cabinetmakers, woodworkers, contractors, makers, and manufacturers building magnetic latches, catches, closures, removable panels, access doors, hatches, boxes, cases, and custom assemblies. The nsc82 can also be paired with a compatible steel washer to create a complete magnetic closure with a clean, low-profile appearance.

Product Features

• Concentrates Magnetic Holding Force - Ferrous steel redirects more of the magnet's field toward the open working face for stronger attachment to ferrous surfaces.
• Protects Brittle Magnets - Surrounding steel helps shield the sides and back of a neodymium magnet from impacts, chipping, and physical damage.
• Secure Magnet Housing - Recessed cup shape provides a defined location for installing a compatible disc magnet.
• Durable Steel Construction - Adds mechanical support around the magnet for mounting and holding applications.
• Low-Profile Assembly - Combines a disc magnet and steel housing into a compact magnetic holding arrangement.
• Simple Design Integration - Can be incorporated into fixtures, closures, mounting systems, and fabricated assemblies.
