Description

Prevents a magnet from sliding down in shear direction.
Self-adhesive rubber tape, also called self-adhesive rubber sheet, in 10 x 5 cm pieces. This useful self-adhesive silicone rubber tape increases the sticking friction between magnet and surface and thereby counteracts the diminished adhesive force in shear direction. In general, the rubber tape can double or triple the adhesive force in shear direction. The attainable improvement depends on material combination and temperature. An exact calculation is therefore not possible. The rubber tape is also suitable for protecting delicate surfaces from scratches when using strong magnets.

The rubber tape does not work with small or very thin raw magnets. The additional distance of 0,42 mm between magnet and surface may even lead to a lower adhesive force. Magnets that are too strong, on the other hand, may damage the silicone rubber coating.

This tape does not work with pot magnets and office magnets of the PBM line

Additional features and tips

You can easily cut the shape of the magnet out of the rubber tape...

... stick it to the magnet ...

... and now the shelf can hold twice or three times as much weight.

The disc magnet S-20-10-N (20x10 mm) can hold approximately 1,75 kg in shear direction, then the steel plate starts sliding down.

If you place a rubber tape between magnet and steel plate, the disc magnet can hold approximately 5,2 kg in shear force; then it starts to slide down.
