Eclipse M2904A/MSC Alnico Horseshoe Magnet 5.25 Lb Pull

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M2904A/MSC is an Alnico horseshoe magnet designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring a compact, high-performance permanent magnet. Built from Alnico 2 material, this magnet delivers an average pull force of 5.25 pounds in a small footprint measuring 0.3125 inches wide, 0.875 inches deep, and 1 inch high. The Alnico alloy construction supports an operating temperature of up to 550 degrees C, making it suitable for high-heat environments. Maintenance technicians, equipment repair professionals, and instrumentation specialists are the typical installers and users of this part.

This horseshoe magnet is used in sensor assemblies, test equipment, educational setups, and light industrial fixtures where a reliable permanent magnetic field is required in a confined space. The compact pole geometry and Alnico 2 grade material make it a practical choice for applications demanding thermal stability and consistent pull force over time. The 0.25-inch gap width and 0.875-inch pole width define the working face geometry for precise magnetic circuit design.

Installation Notes

Installation and handling of permanent magnets should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with magnetic circuit assembly. Keep the magnet away from electronic components, magnetic storage media, and precision instruments during handling. Use non-ferrous tools when positioning the magnet in assemblies to avoid unintended attraction. Demagnetization can result from exposure to strong opposing magnetic fields or mechanical shock, so handle with care during installation.
