- Clean the slot of any debris or corrosion marks before installing the new part.
- Install the new magnet screw by screwing it into the slot, following the positioning and orientation indicated in the parts diagram.
- Tighten moderately, without forcing: excessive tightening can damage the thread or the magnetic material of the part.
- Test the operation by installing a Neo cartridge and checking that the drive is correct before resuming work on a client.
Tips from us
- Keep a spare magnet screw in your kit: being a small but essential part of the Neo system, a spare helps you avoid work interruptions due to an unexpected failure.
- Use only original Ink Machines parts. A magnet with different properties than the original can affect how the Neo system drives the needle.
- Avoid exposing the part to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields, which can weaken its magnetic properties over time.
- Periodically check the magnetic attraction force compared to a new screw: if it attracts a small metal object noticeably weaker, consider replacement.
- When Neo cartridges start behaving inconsistently, even though the rest of the machine seems fine, also check the condition of the magnet screw.
Warning: This is a mechanical part of the tattoo machine, not a sterile consumable, so sterilization is not required, but careful installation is needed. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before working on it. Do not overtighten the screw, to avoid damaging the thread or magnetic material. For safety and proper operation of the Neo system, use only the original part, not generic replacements with unknown magnetic properties. Store the part in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent thread corrosion.
Frequently asked questions
What machine is this part for?▾
The magnet screw no. 142 is a replacement part for the Ink Machines Scorpion X2 tattoo machine, according to the product description. If you have a different machine, check the part number in the diagram for your model before ordering.
What exactly is the role of the magnet screw?▾
It has a dual role: on one hand, it mechanically secures a machine component; on the other, it is part of the Ink Machines Neo system, which drives cartridges through a magnetic mechanism without direct physical contact between the machine and the cartridge. Without a functional magnet screw, the Neo system does not work properly.
How do I know it needs replacement?▾
Typical signs are loss of magnetic properties, damaged thread, or corrosion. A simple test is to compare the screw's attraction force with that of a new one, using a small metal object. If it attracts significantly weaker, or if Neo cartridges no longer work correctly even though the rest of the machine is fine, consider replacement.
Why choose the original part and not a generic one?▾
Because the magnetic properties of the part are correlated with how the Neo system works. A weaker or stronger magnet than the specified one can cause inconsistent needle drive. Using the original part is the safest way for proper operation.
How is it maintained and stored?▾
Keep the part in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent thread corrosion, and away from extreme heat sources or strong magnetic fields, which could weaken its magnetism. Proper storage preserves its properties long-term.
How many pieces does the product contain?▾
The product is sold individually, meaning 1 magnet screw no. 142 per order. If you want a spare for your kit, order multiple pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions What function does magnet screw no. 142 serve in the Scorpion X2? The magnet screw combines two functions: mechanical component fixation and generating the magnetic field needed for the Neo non-contact drive system. It is a unique piece in the tattoo industry, specific to InkMachines patented technology. Without a functional magnet screw, the Neo system cannot operate correctly. Is the magnet screw necessary for standard cartridges too? The magnet screw is a structural component of the Scorpion X2 machine and remains installed regardless of the cartridge type used. Magnetic properties are essential for Neo cartridge operation, but the part also serves the mechanical fixation function needed in the standard cartridge configuration. How do I check if the magnet screw has lost its properties? A simple test is checking the magnetic attraction force with a small metal object. If the attraction force is significantly weaker than that of a new magnet screw, replacement is recommended. Also, if Neo cartridges no longer function correctly even though the machine is otherwise in good condition, the magnet screw should be checked. How much does magnet screw no. 142 cost? InkMachines magnet screw no. 142 is available at approximately 0.50 EUR. Although the price is low, the importance of this part for Neo system operation is major. We recommend purchasing a spare screw to avoid interruptions in case of unexpected failure. What is the InkMachines Neo system? The Neo system is a revolutionary technology developed by InkMachines that uses a magnetic drive system with no direct physical contact between machine and cartridge. This eliminates mechanical friction, reduces noise, improves needle movement consistency, and provides a superior tattooing experience. The magnet screw is a key component of this system. Can the magnet screw be accidentally demagnetized? Accidental demagnetization is unlikely under normal usage conditions. Exposure to very high temperatures or strong external magnetic fields can affect magnetic properties. Proper storage and avoiding exposure to extreme heat sources maintain the screw's magnetic properties long-term. Are there risks to using a non-original magnet screw? Yes, non-original magnet screws may have different magnetic properties from InkMachines specifications, which affects Neo system operation. A magnetic field that is too weak or too strong can cause inconsistent needle movements or cartridge damage. Using exclusively original parts is essential for safety. How is the magnet screw installed? The magnet screw is installed by screwing it into the dedicated slot in the Scorpion X2 machine, respecting the recommended tightening torque. Do not over-tighten as you may damage the thread or magnetic material. Correct magnetic polarity positioning is important - consult the InkMachines parts diagram. Does the magnet screw interact with other metal parts of the machine? The magnet screw's magnetic field is calibrated to specifically interact with Neo cartridge components without negatively affecting other metal parts of the machine. InkMachines designed the mechanism so that the magnetic field is directed and controlled. There is no risk of interference with other components in normal use. How often should the magnet screw be replaced? The magnet screw is a durable component that does not require frequent replacement under normal conditions. Magnetic properties are maintained for extended periods. Replacement is only necessary when Neo system performance loss is detected, physical screw damage occurs, or after a strong impact that could affect the structure.
