The Threaded Socket Magnet (also known as a Magnetic Locating Plate) is the industry-standard solution for securing threaded lifting sockets, transport anchors, and connecting sleeves to steel casting beds. How It Works The unit consists of a high-performance magnetic disc with a central threaded stud. Simply screw your threaded socket onto the stud and place the magnet on the steel table. The powerful magnetic force ensures the socket stays perpendicular and flush against the formwork during the concrete pour, preventing any displacement or tilting. Universal & Interchangeable Designed for versatility, these magnets often feature interchangeable threaded rods. This allows you to use the same magnetic base for different socket sizes (e.g., changing from M16 to M20) simply by swapping the stud, reducing your equipment costs. Key Benefits:- Table Protection: Eliminates the need to drill holes in expensive steel formwork tables.
- Accuracy: Ensures the socket is perfectly vertical and flush with the concrete surface.
- Leak-Proof: The flat steel face of the magnet seals against the table, while the socket seals against the magnet, preventing concrete slurry from entering the threads.
- Durability: Encased in a robust steel housing to protect the magnetic core from impact and corrosion.
- Efficiency: Quick installation and removal reduce setup times significantly.

How to Use
- Select: Choose the correct thread size for your socket (e.g., M16).
- Assemble: Screw the threaded socket hand-tight onto the stud of the magnet.
- Position: Place the assembly onto the clean steel casting table at the marked location. The magnet clamps down instantly.
- Pour: Pour and vibrate the concrete.
- Demold: Once the concrete has hardened, lift the precast element. The magnet will typically detach from the table and remain attached to the concrete element via the thread.
- Remove: Unscrew the magnet from the socket using a hexagonal key (allen key) or pin tool, leaving the socket perfectly embedded in the concrete.
