Eclipse M14672/1/MSC Alnico Horseshoe Magnet 6.5 Lb Pull

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M14672/1/MSC is a Grade 5 Alnico horseshoe magnet designed for applications requiring a reliable, permanent magnetic field in a compact form factor. Measuring 1.125 inches wide, 1.125 inches high, and 0.25 inches deep, this magnet delivers an average pull force of 6.5 pounds. The Alnico 5 alloy construction provides stable magnetic output across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for industrial sensing, holding, positioning, and light assembly applications. Technicians and engineers working in instrumentation, test equipment, and small-device fabrication commonly select this style of magnet for its predictable performance and dimensional consistency.

This horseshoe magnet is suited for light-duty industrial and commercial applications where a compact permanent magnet is needed. Typical uses include sensor actuation, magnetic circuit experiments, educational lab setups, and small-component holding fixtures. The open horseshoe geometry concentrates flux across the pole gap, which measures 13/64 inches wide, with pole faces spanning 47/64 inches. This geometry is well matched to applications requiring direct contact or near-contact magnetic coupling.

Key Features

• Grade 5 Alnico alloy construction provides stable, long-life magnetic output without significant flux degradation over time
• 6.5 pound average pull force in a compact 1.125 inch by 1.125 inch footprint
• 13/64 inch gap width allows direct engagement with target materials within the pole opening
• 47/64 inch pole width concentrates flux for efficient magnetic coupling
• Depth of 0.25 inches keeps the magnet profile low for space-constrained installations
• Single-piece Alnico construction with no external coil or power requirement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style permanent horseshoe magnet for use in instrumentation, sensing, holding, and light assembly applications where a Grade 5 Alnico magnet of this dimensional profile is specified.

Installation Notes

Horseshoe magnets of this type are installed by qualified technicians familiar with magnetic circuit design and the handling of permanent magnet assemblies. Keep the magnet away from ferromagnetic swarf, chips, and loose metal debris during handling to prevent contamination of the pole faces. Alnico magnets can be partially demagnetized by strong opposing magnetic fields or mechanical shock, so store and transport with appropriate keeper bars or spacers when possible. No electrical power source is required for operation.
