    About Magnets
    industrial info icon

    Choose a magnet with the right strength, material, and temperature resistance for your application.

    Alnico Disc Magnets

    Our most heat-resistant magnets won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 1020° F. Use them in everything from magnetos and flow meters to fixturing tools. However, their magnetic hold isn't as strong as neodymium magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Hold or lift metal parts with confidence. The U-shape brings the north and south poles close together, creating a dense magnetic field for powerful pull force. These heat-resistant magnets won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 970° F. Also known as horseshoe magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Alnico Button Magnets

    Clamp, hold, and position metal parts. These magnets have both north and south poles on the same face for strong, flush contact. A slot and mounting hole help you mount them in jigs and fixtures. Although not as strong as U-shaped magnets, button magnets have a flat base for stable clamping. They won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 970° F.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Achieve reliable rotation in motors, turbine generators, and other electromechanical systems. These magnets mount on shafts to create a uniform magnetic field around the axis. They won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 970° F.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Magnetized

    Through Length

    Mount flush in everything from tool holders to fixture plates. These magnets are encased in a channel that concentrates the magnetic field on one side, creating a strong hold on flat surfaces. They're also heat resistant, so they won’t melt, deform, or lose magnetic strength in temperatures up to 1020° F.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
    Magnetized Through Length—Magnetized end to end, these magnets channel magnetic energy on the longest axis. This orientation creates deep field penetration and directional pull.

    Partially

    Threaded

    Mount or reposition male-threaded parts instantly—these magnetic-backed standoffs snap onto metal surfaces. Install on displays, test rigs, and tight spaces where permanent mounting isn't practical.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Alnico Magnet—Retain their magnetic strength, even when exposed to high temperatures.
