Matala HK Magnet Sets

The magnet is the part that moves back and forth between the diaphragms. It is held in place by the diaphragms.  Typically, the magnet is very long lasting. However if you run the air pump with bad diaphragms for extended periods you could wear down the magnet. If you open the motor for repair and you find gray dust or small metal particles in and around the motor, you may need to replace the magnet.  Always inspect the magnet for wear and tear when you replace your diaphragms. They are very easy to replace. Call us if you need help.  See the helpful picture guide below “Air Pump Magnet Measurements”; which will help you identify the correct magnet if you are unsure.  Read through the “Hakko Troubleshooting Tips and Information” below for more help.
