Alnico Rectangular Bar Magnet Eclipse Magnetics 6″ Length 1.2 lb Pull

Description

Product Overview

The Eclipse Magnetics M16629NR is a premium Alnico rectangular bar magnet engineered for demanding industrial and scientific environments. Measuring 6 inches in length, with a width and thickness of 1/4 inch, this magnet provides a maximum pull of 1.2 pounds, delivering consistent magnetic force for a variety of applications. Crafted from Alnico Grade 5, the magnet exhibits a high magnetic remanence and coercivity, ensuring stable performance even under fluctuating magnetic fields. Its unpainted gray finish preserves the natural properties of the alloy, while the material can withstand temperatures up to 550 °C without degradation. Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled, with length tolerance of ±1/8 inch and width and thickness tolerances of ±0.016 inch, guaranteeing precise fit in engineered assemblies. The compact form factor and robust construction make it an ideal component for material handling systems, magnetic separators, scientific instrumentation, and custom magnetic solutions.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this Alnico bar magnet excels in a range of real‑world scenarios. In industrial settings, it can be integrated into conveyor belt systems to attract ferrous particles, enhancing product purity and reducing contamination. Its reliable pull force is valuable in magnetic tooling, where precise positioning of metal parts is required. In laboratory environments, the magnet serves as a stable source for magnetic field experiments, supporting studies in physics, chemistry, and materials science. The high temperature tolerance allows it to be used in processes involving heat treatment or soldering without loss of magnetic performance. Additionally, hobbyists and engineers can incorporate the magnet into custom prototypes, such as magnetic locks, sensor assemblies, or educational kits, benefiting from its predictable behavior and easy handling.
