Eclipse E801 Alnico Horseshoe Magnet 1 Lb Pull Force

Product Description

The ECLIPSE E801 is an Alnico horseshoe magnet designed for applications requiring a compact, high-temperature-rated permanent magnet. Built from Grade 5 Alnico, it delivers an average pull force of 1 pound and maintains magnetic properties at operating temperatures up to 550 degrees C. The E801 measures 5/16 inches in overall width, 7/8 inches deep, and 7/16 inches high, making it a small-footprint magnet suited for precision holding, sensing, and light-duty magnetic assembly tasks. Weighing 0.125 pounds, it is commonly specified in industrial, electrical, and instrumentation applications where consistent magnetic performance over a wide temperature range is required.

The E801 is appropriate for use in environments where standard ferrite or ceramic magnets would lose performance due to elevated temperatures. Typical applications include relay and sensor assemblies, test fixtures, electrical instrumentation, and light holding or positioning tasks in trade and industrial settings. The horseshoe form factor concentrates flux at two poles, improving effective pull force in close-gap contact applications. The 1/4 inch gap width and 5/16 inch pole width make it well suited for precision-fit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of permanent magnets in electrical or instrumentation assemblies should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the target application. Keep the magnet away from sensitive electronic components, magnetic storage media, and other magnets during handling to prevent demagnetization or unintended attraction. Alnico magnets are brittle and should not be subjected to impact or mechanical shock. Demagnetized parts should be handled per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before reinstallation.
