Eclipse M19087/MSC Alnico Rectangle Bar Magnet 1.7 Lb

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M19087/MSC is an Alnico Grade 5 rectangle bar magnet designed for industrial and trade applications requiring a compact, high-temperature-tolerant permanent magnet. Measuring 4 inches long, 0.125 inches wide, and 0.375 inches high, this bar magnet delivers an average pull force of 1.7 pounds and a maximum pull force of 1.76 pounds. The Alnico 5 alloy composition allows reliable operation up to 550 degrees C (1022 degrees F), making it suitable for environments where standard ferrite or neodymium magnets would lose performance. Technicians and engineers handling proximity sensing, magnetic holding, motor components, and instrumentation work are the primary installers and users of this part.

This magnet is used in applications where a small-profile, high-temperature permanent magnet is needed. Typical uses include magnetic assemblies, sensor positioning, fixture holding, and OEM equipment repair across industrial, HVAC, and electrical trade settings. The rectangular bar form factor allows straightforward integration into slots, channels, or custom mounting fixtures. Its compact size makes it well suited for tight-clearance assemblies in control panels and field instruments.

Key Features

• Alnico 5 material provides stable magnetic performance at elevated temperatures up to 550 degrees C
• Average pull force of 1.7 pounds in a compact bar profile
• Dimensions of 4 inches x 0.125 inches x 0.375 inches fit narrow mounting channels and assemblies
• Rectangle bar shape allows consistent contact surface for holding and positioning tasks
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, minimizing load on sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Alnico Grade 5 rectangle bar magnet suitable for industrial magnetic assemblies, OEM replacement applications, and custom fixture work where a compact, high-temperature permanent magnet is required.

Installation Notes

Handle Alnico magnets with care, as the material is brittle and can chip or crack if dropped or struck. When integrating into electrical panels or instrumentation, de-energize the system before installing magnetic components near sensitive electronics or relay contacts. Use non-ferrous tools when positioning the magnet near ferrous surfaces to maintain control during placement. Follow applicable facility safety procedures when working near magnetic-sensitive equipment.
