Eclipse M17626/6/MSC Alnico Round Bar Magnet 6in

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M17626/6/MSC is an Alnico round bar magnet designed for industrial, laboratory, and trade applications requiring a reliable permanent magnet in a compact form factor. Manufactured from Alnico alloy, this magnet measures 6 inches in overall length with a 0.25-inch diameter and delivers a maximum pull force of 1.4 pounds. Alnico magnets are known for their high-temperature stability, and this unit is rated for continuous operation up to 1,022 degrees F, making it suitable for environments where standard ferrite or neodymium magnets would lose their magnetic properties. Installation and integration are handled by technicians, engineers, or tradespeople working with sensors, holding fixtures, magnetic assemblies, or educational equipment.

This magnet is suited for use in a wide range of applications including magnetic field demonstrations, sensor actuation, small holding and retrieval tasks, and custom magnetic assemblies. Its smooth surface finish and slender cylindrical profile allow it to fit into tight housings or be mounted in close-tolerance fixtures. The high maximum operating temperature makes it a viable choice for proximity to heat-generating components in industrial control panels or HVAC equipment where a small permanent magnet is required.

Key Features

• Maximum operating temperature of 1,022 degrees F for high-heat environments
• Maximum pull force of 1.4 pounds in a compact 6-inch by 0.25-inch form factor
• Smooth surface finish for easy integration into housings or assemblies
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Alnico round bar magnet for use in industrial, laboratory, and trade applications requiring a permanent magnet with a 6-inch length and 0.25-inch diameter profile.

Installation Notes

Alnico magnets are brittle compared to steel and should not be struck or dropped on hard surfaces, as chipping or cracking can occur. When integrating into an assembly, ensure the magnet is secured with an appropriate adhesive or mechanical retention feature rather than relying solely on magnetic attraction for positioning. Demagnetization can occur if the magnet is exposed to strong opposing magnetic fields or subjected to temperatures exceeding the rated maximum. Handling should be done carefully to avoid pinch injuries when working near ferrous materials or other magnets.
