Overview - Alnico Power Magnets / Alnico Horseshoe Magnet

Alnico Horseshoe Magnet

Alnico Power Horseshoe Magnets are high-strength permanent magnets engineered for demanding industrial and workshop applications where reliable holding force, heat resistance, and durability are essential. Made from premium Alnico (Aluminium-Nickel-Cobalt) alloy, these magnets combine classic horseshoe design with enhanced performance for heavy-duty magnetic holding, clamping, lifting, and retrieval tasks.

The distinctive U-shaped horseshoe form brings the north and south poles close together, concentrating the magnetic field across the gap for maximum surface contact and pull force. This shape increases magnetic efficiency compared with straight bar magnets, making them ideal where strong, focused magnetic grip is needed.

Alnico Power Horseshoe Magnets from Eclipse Magnetics are precision-machined with wide pole faces and a robust coating for added protection against wear and corrosion. They deliver exceptional pull force — up to approximately 60 kg depending on size and application, and maintain stable magnetic performance in challenging environments.

These magnets are also characterised by excellent high-temperature stability, capable of maintaining magnetic properties at temperatures up to +550 °C, making them suitable for use close to heat sources such as welding and soldering fixtures.

Available in multiple sizes with optional fixing holes, Eclipse Magnetics Alnico Power Horseshoe Magnets offer flexible mounting and installation options to suit a range of industrial setups.
