AOMAG Large 4 Inch Red Silver Horseshoe Alnico Magnet with Keeper

Description

Product Overview

The AOMAG Large 4 Inch Red Silver Horseshoe Alnico Magnet is engineered for demanding industrial applications where reliable magnetic performance is essential. Constructed from high‑grade alnico alloy—an iron‑based material enriched with aluminium, nickel, and cobalt—this magnet delivers a powerful, stable pull that resists demagnetization even under continuous use. The horseshoe shape concentrates magnetic flux at the poles, providing a focused field that can securely lift and hold ferrous objects up to several pounds. Each unit is painted in a distinctive red‑silver finish, and the North and South poles are clearly marked for quick orientation during installation. A steel keeper bar, supplied with every magnet, safeguards the poles from accidental impact and helps preserve magnetic strength when the magnet is not in active use. Dimensions of 4.29 x 1.93 x 0.35 inches and a weight of 3.84 ounces make it compact enough for tight spaces while still offering substantial holding power.

Usage

This alnico horseshoe magnet excels in a variety of material‑handling scenarios. In manufacturing plants, it can be used to position metal parts on assembly lines, streamline sorting processes, and assist in robotic pick‑and‑place operations. Maintenance workshops benefit from its ability to hold tools or components in place while technicians work, reducing the risk of dropped items. The magnet’s compact size allows it to be mounted on workbenches, conveyor belts, or custom fixtures, making it adaptable to both fixed and portable setups. Its strong, consistent pull is also valuable in recycling facilities for separating ferrous metals from non‑magnetic waste streams. Because the keeper bar protects the poles, the magnet can be stored safely when not in use, ensuring long‑term reliability. Users ranging from factory engineers to small‑business owners will find the magnet’s ease of installation and dependable performance a valuable addition to their equipment arsenal.

FAQ

What is the maximum load this magnet can hold?

The exact holding capacity depends on the material being lifted and the surface conditions, but the 4‑inch alnico horseshoe typically supports several pounds of steel under normal operating conditions.

Can the magnet be used in high‑temperature environments?

Alnico magnets retain their magnetic properties at temperatures up to about 500°F (260°C). For applications exceeding this range, a different magnet type should be considered.

How does the keeper bar improve the magnet’s performance?

The steel keeper bar bridges the North and South poles when the magnet is not actively engaged, preventing the magnetic domains from relaxing and thus preserving the magnet’s strength over time.

Is the magnet safe for use around electronic equipment?

While alnico magnets are less likely to cause interference than rare‑earth magnets, it is still advisable to keep them at a reasonable distance from sensitive electronic components to avoid any potential magnetic disturbance.

What warranty does AOMAG provide?

AOMAG offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should any issue arise, our customer service team will work with you to resolve it promptly, either through replacement or repair.
