Round Magnetic Welding Ground Cup – 3-3/8" Diameter

Brief Overview

This round magnetic ground cup delivers reliable, hands-free clamping for welding operations where traditional C-clamps and grounding devices fall short. The 3-3/8-inch diameter provides substantial contact area for secure ferrous metal engagement. Pair this with magnetic tool holders or magnetic storage solutions to build a complete magnetic accessory system for your shop.

Key Features

• Powerful Ferrite/Neodymium Magnet Core – Strong holding force maintains positive electrical ground throughout welding cycles
• Galvanized Steel Cup Housing – Corrosion-resistant outer shell withstands shop environments and occasional splatter
• Threaded Stud Mount – Central mounting point with hex nut securing hardware; allows flexible positioning and rotation
• Spring-Loaded Plunger Release – Brass-colored plunger with O-ring seal enables controlled magnet disengagement without damage to work surface
• Insulating Layer Protection – Internal yellow spacer ring isolates magnet assembly and protects against electrical interference
• Shallow, Domed Design – Low-profile cup geometry grips irregular pipe shapes, corners, and surfaces that standard clamps cannot reach

Why Resellers Choose This Product

Shop Profitability:

• High-margin consumable-adjacent product with minimal warranty risk
• Appeals to small fabrication shops, mobile welders, and industrial maintenance crews
• Repeatable orders: operators value reliability and often purchase backup units

Customer Value:

• Eliminates downtime from failed ground connections during critical welds
• Reduces operator fatigue—no manual clamping or repositioning needed
• One-handed setup and release saves labor time on high-volume jobs
• Ideal for overhead, vertical, and confined-space welding where traditional clamps are impractical

Market Demand:

• Welding shops and fabrication facilities continuously stock ground clamps
• Mobile service technicians require portable, reliable grounding solutions
• Industrial maintenance teams appreciate the compact footprint and magnetic simplicity

Application Context

This ground cup is purpose-built for welding operations where:

• Work surface is ferrous metal (mild steel, stainless steel with ferrous base)
• Irregular geometry or pipe diameter prevents conventional C-clamp use
• Positive electrical ground contact is critical for weld quality
• Operator mobility and quick setup/teardown are valued

Not suitable for:

• Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass without magnetic base)
• Applications requiring adjustment during operation (grounding remains static)

Closing Statement

The Round Magnetic Welding Ground Cup fills a genuine gap in shop tooling—a reliable, hands-free grounding solution for pipe and irregular surfaces. Its powerful magnet, durable construction, and simple operation make it a natural stock item for distributors serving fabrication and maintenance markets. Stock this unit confidently; it solves real problems and drives repeat orders.
