These counterparts or armature plates from RS PRO are used for electromagnets to clamp onto and come with fixing holes that are compatible with both energise-to-hold and energise-to-release versions. Counterparts like these are used together with holding magnets in a wide range of magnetic locking systems, including security doors.

The armature plate is made from durable, nickel-plated steel. Nickel is not only corrosion-resistant, it also makes them more magnetic and stronger at holding the plates. Despite this strength, the counterparts are extremely compact and lightweight – this model measures just 30 mm in diameter and weighs a mere 30 g, making it only slightly bigger than a ten pence piece.

This quality RS PRO product is RoHS compliant as containing minimal amounts of hazardous substances. It also meets standards ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007, meaning it has been protected from electrostatic discharge during handling and packaging.
