Constructed from high‑grade Alnico 1 alloy, these magnets deliver a magnetic force that surpasses typical ceramic or ferrite magnets, ensuring a reliable and consistent performance over years of use. The pair is packaged in a sturdy box with dimensions of 2.91 x 2.2 x 0.71 inches and a weight of 1.6 ounces, making storage and transport straightforward. The product model number 1216L31PK reflects the precise specifications and quality standards upheld by United Scientific Supplies, Inc., a trusted name in scientific equipment since its establishment.

Usage

These Alnico bar magnets are exceptionally versatile, fitting seamlessly into a variety of learning environments and hands‑on projects. In a classroom setting, teachers can use them to demonstrate fundamental concepts such as magnetic attraction and repulsion, field lines, and the behavior of magnetic materials. The clear color‑coded poles simplify experiments that require students to identify and align magnetic fields correctly. Beyond the classroom, hobbyists and makers can incorporate the magnets into DIY electronics, magnetic levitation experiments, and custom sensor designs. Their compact size allows for easy integration into model rockets, small robotic assemblies, and even artistic installations that rely on magnetic attachment. Home users will find them useful for organizing metal tools, creating magnetic spice racks, or experimenting with simple magnetic puzzles. The durability of Alnico ensures that the magnets retain their strength even after repeated handling, making them a long‑term solution for both educational and creative pursuits.
