    Length

    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.

    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.
