6105 with bigger magnets?

[Rognin]

Do you sell magnets that can go through 3/4 or 5/8 for the 6105?

Or are the supplied magnets strong enough?

Correction, 1/4 acrylic and 1/2 glass.

Would Custom Magnets work?

Alright, part of my question has been answered. But there's one that remains. See below quote and comments.

Not sure about u what you listed, but this will work for sure...

Nice that should work. But in case those magnets are too big to fit where I need them, do you thing the plastic coated neodymium magnets will work with those Ferrite magnets? (it is magnetism after all)

Neodymium produce magnetic field far stronger than most other materials. By that logic (or the one I'm hoping is right), I could use a smaller magnet in a tighter place with the same holding power.

Am I completely wrong? Or can this be done?

These are the magnets I am looking at using. They are much lower in profile and seem safe for the marine environment.

27lbs magnet 1" x 1" x 1/2"
or
43lbs magnet 2"x 1" x 1/2"
or
63lbs N52 magnet 2"x 1" x 1/2"


Bold = Neodymium 52, highest grade of magnet.

Would they hold the 6105? (specify which will)

As added curiosity, what pull strength do your magnets have?

 

[Rognin]

Well I got my answer, you theoretically can't mix Neodymium and ferrite magnets. The neodymium will kill the ferrite magnets. But if you can match the strength needed to match the ferrite magnet it should work.

I know you changed the neodymium magnets for ferrite ones back in 2011. Can one still get a set of neodymium magnets for the base of the powerhead and the holding magnet (normally exterior)?


I need help... lol =D

For 3/4" just order the 6205.501, this will replace the outside magnet with a stronger magnet, for up to 1", the pair 6205.500 will be the best bet.

Rare earth magnets have to be coated for use around saltwater. I am almost positive the 6105 magnets are neodymium, ferrite magnets are not coated and are exposed.

Yeah just opened the box and they are coated. Does that mean I can get lower profile magnets.

Reason is space is tight and I will have an internal OF and want the pumps to attatch to that OF column. The problem is there's piping in there and those tunze magnets are pretty big. By going with smaller magnets I could fit them there.

If they are Neodymium then I'll go ahead with my plan.

Thanks Roger!

Hrmm, one of my pumps is missing the 24v fuse and it's brand new. Do I contact the reseller?

Their are no lower profile magnets. A lot more goes into these holders than just the magnets, it is 2 magnets bridged by a steel plate and covered with polyurethane, they cannot be any thinner.

Yes, they should be able to get you the 24V jumper, generally 18V is in the power supply and a small bag was in the white box the power supply was in with 12 and 24.
