Alnico Magnet - 50 Lb Power - General Tools & Instruments

General Tools & Instruments 370-16 Alnico Magnet - 50 Lb Power

The General Tools & Instruments 370-16 Alnico Magnet is an industrial-grade, horseshoe-shaped permanent magnet engineered for demanding professional applications. Constructed from an Aluminum/Nickel/Cobalt (Alnico) alloy, this magnet is designed for heavy-duty use in various work settings. Unlike other magnet types, Alnico magnets are known for their exceptional temperature stability, strong magnetic fields, and resistance to demagnetization over time, ensuring reliable performance even in high-temperature environments such as automotive sensors and industrial machinery.

Key Features

• Durable Alnico Construction: Made from a robust Aluminum/Nickel/Cobalt alloy, providing long-lasting magnetic strength and superior corrosion resistance.
• Powerful 50 Lb. Pull Capacity: Delivers substantial pulling power for efficient lifting, holding, and retrieving of ferrous materials.
• Horseshoe Design: The classic horseshoe shape enhances magnetic field concentration for maximum grip and utility.
• Thermal Stability: Maintains magnetic properties consistently across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for environments up to 550°C (1022°F) without significant loss of strength.
• Versatile Mounting: Features a 3/16" center-drilled hole, allowing for easy attachment of rods, fasteners, conveyors, racks, and welding jigs.
• Industrial Grade: Built to withstand rigorous professional use in workshops, manufacturing plants, and automotive repair facilities.

Applications

This industrial-grade Alnico magnet is highly effective in a variety of professional and industrial scenarios. It is ideal for technicians and mechanics requiring reliable magnetic force for tasks such as lifting small engine components, holding metal workpieces during welding or assembly, and sorting metal scraps. Its robust pull capacity also makes it suitable for retrieving dropped tools, fasteners, or other metallic objects from confined spaces or inaccessible areas. Furthermore, Alnico magnets are utilized in critical components like electric motors, generators, and sensors within the automotive and aerospace industries due to their stable performance in fluctuating temperatures.
