Alnico Magnet 5X11B 4-Pole Rotor by MAG-MATE 25lb Holding

Description

Product Overview

The MAG-MATE Alnico 5X11B 4‑pole rotor shaped magnet is engineered for demanding industrial environments where strength, durability, and temperature resistance are paramount. Constructed from a premium Alnico alloy—an exacting blend of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and copper—the magnet offers a robust 25 lb pull force while maintaining a compact footprint. Its dimensions feature a 0.5 inch inner diameter and a 1 inch outer diameter, providing a versatile form factor that can be easily integrated into a wide range of equipment and fixtures. The magnet’s four‑pole configuration creates a balanced magnetic field, ensuring reliable attachment to thin metal surfaces without the need for additional fastening hardware. With a weight of just 0.102 lb (1.6 oz), the unit is lightweight enough for handheld applications yet strong enough to handle heavy‑duty tasks.

Usage

Designed for material handling, the 5X11B magnet excels in applications such as assembly line positioning, robotic end‑effector tooling, and magnetic lifting fixtures. Its high‑temperature tolerance—up to 800 °F—makes it suitable for environments like metal forging, heat‑treating furnaces, and automotive paint‑shop ovens where conventional ferrite magnets would lose performance. The magnet can be employed in precision alignment of thin metal sheets, securing of electronic components during soldering, and as a quick‑release latch in machinery maintenance. Because the magnet is electrically conductive, it can be EDM‑drilled to create custom holes or slots, allowing engineers to tailor the magnet to specific mounting requirements without compromising magnetic strength.

FAQ

What is the maximum temperature the magnet can withstand?

The Alnico 5X11B magnet is rated for continuous operation up to 800 °F (427 °C) without loss of magnetic performance.

Can the magnet be drilled or machined?

Yes, the magnet is electrically conductive and can be EDM‑drilled or machined to create custom holes or slots, allowing flexible integration into assemblies.

Is the magnet suitable for lifting ferrous objects?

While the magnet is optimized for thin metal surfaces and non‑ferrous applications, it can still provide reliable lift for small ferrous parts within its 25 lb pull rating.

What warranty does MAG-MATE offer?

MAG-MATE provides a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and performance issues, along with access to technical support for installation guidance.

How do I ensure optimal performance in a high‑vibration environment?

Mount the magnet using the built‑in countersunk center for a secure fit, and consider adding a non‑magnetic spacer or vibration‑damping material to reduce mechanical stress on the magnet.
