Eclipse M19177/MSC Alnico Pot Magnet 1.75 Lb 6-32 Thread

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M19177/MSC is an Alnico pot magnet designed for industrial holding, clamping, and fixture applications where reliable magnetic force and high-temperature resistance are required. Built with an Alnico 5 magnet material grade, it delivers an average pull force of 1.75 pounds and a maximum pull force of 3 pounds. The magnet measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch in height, with a 6-32 threaded stud for secure mechanical attachment to fixtures, jigs, panels, or assemblies. It is rated for continuous use up to 428 degrees F, making it suitable for elevated-temperature environments where standard ferrite or neodymium magnets would lose performance.

This pot magnet is used in manufacturing, maintenance, and industrial settings where a compact, threaded holding magnet is needed. Typical applications include sensor positioning, tooling fixtures, door latches, and panel retention. The threaded stud allows direct mounting into tapped holes or with a nut for through-mount installations. The compact 0.5-inch diameter footprint suits tight-clearance assemblies. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and tool and die professionals commonly specify this type of magnet for light-duty holding tasks that require temperature stability.

Key Features

• Alnico 5 magnet material for stable performance at elevated temperatures
• Average pull force of 1.75 pounds; maximum pull force of 3 pounds
• Maximum operating temperature of 428 degrees F
• 6-32 threaded stud for direct mechanical integration
• Compact 0.5-inch diameter and 1-inch height for tight-clearance installs
• Weighs 0.05 pounds — lightweight for fixture and panel applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Alnico pot magnet suitable for industrial fixtures, tooling assemblies, and holding applications requiring a 6-32 threaded mount and high-temperature magnet performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the stud directly into a tapped 6-32 hole or securing with a nut through a clearance hole in the mounting surface. Ensure the mating surface is clean, flat, and ferromagnetic for rated pull force. Avoid side-loading the magnet beyond its rated force, as pot magnet housings are optimized for axial pull. No special tools are required beyond standard hand tools for the 6-32 thread engagement.
