MPC080 Red & Blue Plastic Cover Bar Magnet United Scientific 80mm

Description

Product Overview

The MPC080 red and blue plastic cover bar magnet is a precision‑engineered component designed for demanding industrial environments. Measuring 80 mm in length, 15 mm in width, and 10 mm in thickness, this magnet offers a compact footprint while delivering a powerful magnetic field. Constructed from high‑grade Alnico material, the magnet retains its magnetic strength far longer than conventional ferrite or neodymium magnets, ensuring consistent performance over years of continuous use. The dual‑color plastic cover—red on one side and blue on the other—provides visual polarity cues that simplify installation and reduce the risk of incorrect orientation. Weighing just 0.172 kg, the unit is lightweight enough for easy handling yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of material handling, assembly line automation, and equipment mounting. United Scientific Supplies, a reputable U.S. manufacturer, guarantees that each magnet meets strict quality standards, offering a reliable solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the MPC080 magnet excels in a variety of industrial settings. In material handling systems, it can be used to secure metal trays, pallets, and containers, providing a quick‑release yet firm hold that speeds up workflow and reduces downtime. Assembly line operators benefit from the magnet’s ability to position and hold components during welding, fastening, or inspection processes, eliminating the need for additional clamps or fixtures. The clear red‑blue color coding assists technicians in quickly identifying the magnetic polarity, which is especially valuable in high‑speed environments where errors can be costly. Additionally, the magnet’s compact size makes it ideal for integration into custom tooling, robotic end‑effectors, and equipment mounting brackets where space is at a premium. Its durability ensures reliable operation even in harsh conditions, such as exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations common in manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, and aerospace maintenance facilities.

FAQ

What is the holding force of the MPC080 magnet?

The exact holding force depends on the thickness and type of the ferrous material it is attracted to, but the Alnico composition typically provides a pull force ranging from 2 to 4 kg for standard steel plates of 2 mm thickness.

Can the magnet be used in high‑temperature environments?

Yes. Alnico magnets retain their magnetic properties at temperatures up to approximately 500 °F (260 °C), making the MPC080 suitable for many heat‑exposed applications.

Is the plastic cover removable for maintenance?

The plastic cover is securely molded onto the magnet and is not intended to be removed. If the cover becomes damaged, the entire magnet should be replaced to maintain safety and performance.

How does the dual‑color design help during installation?

The red side indicates one magnetic pole while the blue side indicates the opposite pole. This visual cue helps technicians align multiple magnets correctly, reducing the chance of polarity errors in assembly or tooling setups.

What warranty does United Scientific provide for this magnet?

United Scientific offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the magnet fails due to a defect within this period, we will replace it at no additional cost.
