    About Magnets
    industrial info icon

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

    Alnico U-Channel Magnets

    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 Through Length—Magnetized end to end, these magnets channel magnetic energy on the longest axis. This orientation creates deep field penetration and directional pull.
