Eclipse M17814/3/MSC Alnico Round Bar Magnet 3in

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M17814/3/MSC is an Alnico round bar magnet designed for industrial and trade applications requiring stable, high-temperature magnetic performance. Measuring 3 inches in length and 19/64 inches in diameter, this notched bar magnet delivers a maximum pull force of 1.5 pounds. Alnico alloy construction provides excellent thermal stability, allowing the magnet to operate at temperatures up to 1,022 degrees F — well above the limits of ceramic or rare-earth magnets. It is a compact, precisely dimensioned component suited for sensor assemblies, instrumentation, and magnetic circuit applications.

This magnet is used in applications where a small-diameter, high-temperature-resistant magnetic element is required. Typical install scenarios include proximity sensors, reed switch actuators, magnetic latches, and flow or position detection assemblies in HVAC controls, industrial equipment, and instrumentation panels. The notched profile aids in secure mounting or retention within assemblies. Technicians working on control systems, sensor arrays, or specialty magnetic fixtures will find this part a direct-fit solution where Alnico material is specified.

Key Features

• Alnico alloy construction supports continuous operation up to 1,022 degrees F
• Maximum pull force of 1.5 pounds in a compact 3-inch form factor
• Notched design aids retention and alignment within assemblies
• Diameter of 19/64 inches suits tight-clearance sensor and instrument housings
• Stable magnetic output over wide temperature ranges — no significant demagnetization under rated heat

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Alnico bar magnet for use in industrial sensor assemblies, instrumentation, and magnetic circuit applications where a 3-inch round bar magnet with Alnico material properties is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by instrumentation technicians or licensed electricians working on control and sensor systems. De-energize and lock out all associated circuits before handling magnetic components near ferrous materials or sensitive electronics. Alnico magnets can be demagnetized by strong opposing magnetic fields — keep away from high-powered rare-earth magnets during handling. Secure the notched profile within its retaining feature before final assembly to prevent movement under vibration.
