Alnico Horseshoe Magnet
Product Code : LSK-M-11075
Alnico Horseshoe Magnet (SKU LSK-M-11075) is a permanent magnet of alnico alloy in a horseshoe shape, so both poles sit side by side and give a concentrated field between them. Teachers use it to show attraction, poles and field patterns in school science and physics lessons. Science Lab Supplies makes this magnet in its own unit at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The magnet is made of alnico, an alloy based on aluminium, nickel and cobalt with iron, painted red and supplied with a keeper. It is listed in three lengths of 50, 75 and 100 mm, each with an 11 x 8 mm section, and is specified as a high-strength magnet with long-lasting magnetism.

Applications and Experiments for the Alnico Horseshoe Magnet
This magnet is used wherever a class needs a strong field between two close poles: sorting magnetic from non-magnetic materials, identifying poles, and plotting field lines with iron filings or a compass. It fits NCERT middle-school science, Class 10 and 12 physics, and introductory magnetism work in B.Sc. and diploma labs.
- NCERT Class 6 science: attraction, repulsion and magnetic poles.
- Class 10 physics: plotting the field between the poles.
- Class 10 and 12 physics: force on a current-carrying wire held between the poles.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Alnico Horseshoe Magnet is supplied with its keeper, in the length you choose on your enquiry: 50, 75 or 100 mm, all with the same 11 x 8 mm section. Iron filings, plotting compasses and other magnetism accessories are not part of the item and are quoted separately if required.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for one magnet, a class set or the full quantity for a school physics lab, in one size or a mix of the three. The quotation we send sets out packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity, and other magnetism apparatus can be listed on it as well.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. To begin, message us through the contact page, gather items in the enquiry cart, or read the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sizes of the Alnico Horseshoe Magnet can I order?
Three lengths are listed: 50, 75 and 100 mm, each with an 11 x 8 mm cross-section. Order a single size or mix sizes for a class set, giving the quantity of each.
Why is a keeper supplied with the magnet?
The keeper is laid across both poles while the magnet is stored. It closes the magnetic path, which helps the magnet hold its strength between lessons.
How does it differ from the chrome steel horseshoe magnet?
This alnico magnet is specified with high strength and long-lasting magnetism. The chrome steel horseshoe magnet in the same range is specified with moderate strength and is listed in more sizes.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. These horseshoe magnets are produced at the company's own works in Saha, Ambala, India, so each quotation is issued by the factory itself.
Related Magnetism Apparatus
These four magnets from the same range let a teacher compare shapes and materials side by side: a chrome steel horseshoe, an alnico U-shaped magnet, and alnico bar and cylindrical pairs. Together they cover the pole, attraction and field-line lessons, and any of them can go on one quotation with this magnet.
- Horseshoe Magnet Chrome Steel — same shape, moderate strength.
- Alnico U-Shaped Magnet — 18 mm centre gap.
- Alnico Bar Magnet Pair — north pole marked.
- Alnico Cylindrical Magnet Pair — round bars in pairs.
