Floating Magnets
Product Code : LSK-PL-10332
Floating Magnets (SKU LSK-PL-10332) is a simple demonstration of magnetic repulsion: five ceramic magnets on a wooden pole push each other apart so that they hover one above another. The effect suits primary science, Class 6 magnetism and secondary physics lessons on magnetic forces. Science Lab Supplies puts the set together at its Saha, Ambala factory, Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India, as the manufacturer and offers it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Magnet count, size and pole height of the repulsion set are recorded below. In short, the set consists of five ceramic magnets, each 32 mm in external diameter, mounted on a wooden pole 150 mm high; with like poles facing, repulsion holds them apart in the air, one above another.

Applications and Experiments for the Floating Magnets
The floating magnets make an invisible force visible: like poles repel, unlike poles attract, and the spacing shows how repulsion balances the weight of the magnets above. Pressing down on the top magnet and releasing it also shows that the force grows as the magnets are pushed closer.
- Class 6 science (fun with magnets): showing that like poles repel, and identifying each pole with a Magnetic Needle.
- Comparing gap sizes up the pole to discuss force and weight.
- Turning one magnet over to switch from repulsion to attraction.
- Introducing magnetic levitation in secondary physics, then sorting attracted and non-attracted materials with the Metal Testing Strips.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises five ceramic magnets of 32 mm external diameter and the 150 mm wooden pole on which they are mounted. Any extra magnets, compasses or iron filings you wish to add for the lesson are listed separately on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order enquiries can be for a single set or a class quantity, and the reply quotation covers packing, delivery time and price for that number. Bar magnets, compasses and other electricity and magnetism lab kit for schools can be added to the same quotation.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Class sets of floating magnets can be requested on the contact page or added to the enquiry cart, and public tenders are covered by the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Floating Magnets float?
The magnets are arranged with like poles facing, so they repel each other. The repulsive force holds each magnet above the one below it on the wooden pole.
How many magnets are in the set and what size are they?
There are five ceramic magnets, each 32 mm in external diameter, mounted on a wooden pole 150 mm high, which gives room for all five to float apart.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This repulsion set is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and the quotation you receive is issued from the factory rather than by a sales agent.
How should the magnets be handled?
Keep the magnets away from phones, cards and electronic devices, and slide them gently onto the pole rather than letting them snap together, so the ceramic stays undamaged.
