Eclipse M16915/MSC Alnico Rectangle Bar Magnet 6x1x1 in

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M16915/MSC is a Grade 5 Alnico rectangle bar magnet designed for industrial, laboratory, and commercial applications requiring stable, high-temperature magnetic performance. Measuring 6 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch high, this bar magnet delivers an average and maximum pull force of 19.6 pounds. Alnico 5 is an aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloy recognized for its strong residual magnetism and exceptional heat resistance, rated to a maximum operating temperature of 1,022 degrees F. It is installed and specified by engineers, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working in environments where magnetic strength must hold at elevated temperatures.

This magnet is suited for use in holding fixtures, magnetic chucks, sensor assemblies, and custom fabrication tooling. Its rectangular bar form factor allows straightforward integration into mechanical assemblies, test rigs, and educational or laboratory setups. The 6-inch length and 1-inch square cross-section provide a practical profile for workholding and positioning applications. Facilities maintenance technicians and production engineers commonly source this part for MRO stock due to its standardized geometry and consistent pull-force rating.

Key Features

• Grade 5 Alnico alloy construction provides stable magnetic output at elevated temperatures up to 1,022 degrees F
• 19.6 lb average and maximum pull force for reliable holding strength in demanding applications
• Rectangle bar shape with standardized 6 x 1 x 1 inch dimensions for easy integration into existing fixtures
• Alnico 5 material offers excellent corrosion resistance compared to rare-earth alternatives in many service environments
• Weighs 1.59 pounds, providing substantial mass consistent with solid Alnico construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use Alnico bar magnet suitable for industrial holding, laboratory instrumentation, and custom magnetic assembly applications requiring a 6 x 1 x 1 inch rectangular form factor.

Installation Notes

Alnico magnets are brittle and should be handled carefully to avoid chipping or cracking from impact or improper clamping. When integrating into assemblies, use non-ferrous tooling where possible to control attraction forces during positioning. Keep away from sensitive electronics, magnetic storage media, and pacemakers during handling. No special electrical shutdown is required, but mechanical fixturing should be secured before positioning the magnet to prevent uncontrolled attraction to nearby ferrous components.
