FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers!)
If I stack two identical disc magnets on top of each other, is the adhesive force twice as high?
Yes, but only for sufficiently flat disc magnets.
"Sufficiently flat" means:
The height of the pile should not exceed half its width.
If you keep piling up, the force does increase, but increasingly less. It strives towards a certain value, which will not be exceeded, no matter how high the pile is.
Example:
| 1 x S-10-01-N | 0,5 kg |
| 2 x S-10-01-N | 1,0 kg |
| 3 x S-10-01-N | 1,5 kg |
| 4 x S-10-01-N | 1,9 kg |
| 5 x S-10-01-N | 2,1 kg |
| 10 x S-10-01-N | 2,9 kg |
| 50 x S-10-01-N | 3,8 kg |
| 1000 x S-10-01-N | 3,9 kg |
Please note: The force between the top magnet and the rest of the pile might be much smaller than the force between the pile and the steel plate. Hence, under strain the pile could rip apart somewhere in the middle, even when the theoretical adhesive force was not reached yet.
