Eclipse M17953/8/MSC Alnico Round Bar Magnet 8in

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M17953/8/MSC is an Alnico round bar magnet designed for industrial and trade applications where reliable, long-lasting magnetic holding force is required. Machined to a smooth finish, this bar magnet measures 8 inches in length and 3/8 inches in diameter, with a maximum pull force of 3 pounds. The Alnico alloy construction gives it a high maximum operating temperature of 1,022 degrees F, making it suitable for elevated-temperature environments where ceramic or rare-earth magnets would demagnetize. Licensed trades, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this type of magnet in sensing, positioning, and holding setups across a wide range of industrial equipment.

This round bar magnet is suited for use in manufacturing, HVAC controls, electrical panel assemblies, and general industrial maintenance applications. Its compact diameter allows installation in tight clearances and precision fixtures. The smooth surface finish supports consistent contact with ferrous mounting surfaces. It ships individually and carries a minimum order quantity of one unit, making it practical for single-unit replacement or prototype work.

Key Features

• Alnico alloy construction withstands up to 1,022 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• 3 lb maximum pull force for reliable magnetic holding in light-duty applications
• 8 inches overall length provides extended reach in positioning and sensing setups
• 3/8 inch diameter fits standard-diameter fixture bores and tight clearance installations
• Smooth surface finish ensures consistent contact with ferrous workpieces
• Sold individually with no minimum order quantity requirement beyond a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement round bar magnet for industrial holding, sensing, and positioning applications requiring a cylindrical Alnico magnet in the 8 inch length and 3/8 inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Installation of bar magnets should be performed by qualified maintenance technicians or fabricators familiar with magnetic assembly practices. Power down and de-energize any associated control circuits before handling magnets near electrical components. Keep the magnet away from ferrous chips, filings, and debris during handling to prevent surface damage and unintended attraction. Alnico magnets are brittle and can chip or crack if dropped or struck against hard surfaces, so handle with care during installation.
