ENGISO V-MAG© SUBSEA
V-MAG© by ENGISO is the strongest permanent magnet solution for subsea and underwater installation.
Patent Pending, High Friction Design
The ENGISO V-MAG© is a neodymium permanent magnet coated in black EPDM rubber. It attaches to ferrous steel structures without welding or drilling, weighs just 1.3 kg, and holds up to 340 kg breaking strength in seawater, heat and pressure from -40°C to +80°C (DNV tested).
Key features
V-MAG© Series - Subsea. Unit weight only 1.3 kg. (2.9 lbs)
Easy assembly and dismantling
V-MAG© requires no welding, drilling or surface treatment, and can be fitted, dismantled and relocated without special tools, on both flat and curved steel.
Built for subsea deployment
Coated in black EPDM rubber, V-MAG© withstands seawater, heat and pressure from -40°C to +80°C. Installation can be performed from a vessel, by diver, by ROV, or pre-installed before subsea deployment.
Proven subsea track record
With a 12-year track record and 4 million units in operation, V-MAG© is DNV tested and declared best in test.
Reliable, underwater and out of sight.

Frequently asked questions
Is V-MAG© suitable for subsea use?
Yes. V-MAG© is coated with black EPDM rubber and DNV tested, giving it strong resistance to seawater, heat and pressure from -40°C to +80°C.
How is it attached to the structure?
Magnetically, by direct contact with the steel surface. No welding, drilling, bolting or surface treatment is needed, and the magnet can be removed or relocated without damaging the construction.
What steel thickness does it need?
An optimal ferrous steel thickness of 6 mm. On curved or convex surfaces the minimum diameter is 1500 mm.
How much holding force does it have?
340 kg breaking strength by direct pull from clean steel, and 200 kg sliding strength.
How is it installed subsea?
From a vessel, by diver or ROV, or pre-installed before subsea deployment. Size and colour can be tailored to the application.
Which industries use V-MAG©?
Offshore wind energy and oil & gas, with over 4 million units in operation and a 12-year track record.
