The Alnico Horseshoe Magnet is a classic permanent magnet designed for education, scientific demonstrations, laboratory work, and high-temperature industrial applications. Measuring 75mm high, 38mm wide, and 9mm deep, this durable magnet offers excellent magnetic stability and can operate at temperatures of up to 450°C, making it one of the most heat-resistant permanent magnet materials available.
Manufactured from Alnico (Aluminium, Nickel and Cobalt), this horseshoe magnet is engineered to deliver reliable magnetic performance while resisting demagnetisation under elevated temperatures. Its distinctive horseshoe shape concentrates the magnetic field between the north and south poles, producing a stronger magnetic field at the working ends while making magnetic polarity easy to identify.
This product is identified by AMF Magnetics Part Number 49011.
Premium Alnico permanent magnet
Dimensions: 75mm (H) x 38mm (W) x 9mm (D)
Maximum operating temperature of 450°C
Classic horseshoe design concentrates magnetic strength
Clearly defined north and south poles
Excellent resistance to heat and demagnetisation
Long-lasting magnetic performance
Ideal for education, laboratories and industrial applications
This Alnico horseshoe magnet is commonly used for:
School science lessons
STEM education
Physics demonstrations
University laboratories
Magnetic field experiments
Demonstrating magnetic attraction and repulsion
Engineering education
Industrial testing
Museum and educational displays
High-temperature magnetic applications
The horseshoe magnet is one of the most recognisable symbols of magnetism and has been used in classrooms, laboratories, and engineering environments for generations. Its unique shape brings the north and south poles closer together, concentrating the magnetic field and making demonstrations of magnetic force, polarity, and field lines easy to observe.
Unlike many other permanent magnet materials, Alnico magnets maintain their magnetic properties at extremely high temperatures. With a maximum operating temperature of 500°C, they are ideal for applications where standard neodymium magnets would lose performance due to heat.
Their excellent magnetic stability also makes them suitable for use in sensors, fixtures, scientific equipment, and specialised industrial applications requiring reliable long-term performance.
Alnico horseshoe magnets remain one of the most popular teaching magnets thanks to their simple, highly visible design. Students can easily identify the north and south poles while exploring concepts such as magnetic fields, attraction, repulsion, induced magnetism, and magnetic flux using iron filings, compasses, and other classroom equipment.
For many students, the horseshoe magnet is their first introduction to magnetism, making it an essential resource for schools, universities, and STEM programs. Its iconic appearance, durable construction, and exceptional heat resistance ensure it continues to be a valuable educational and scientific tool for years to come.

The Pull Force listed for each magnet is based on lifting 10mm thick steel from a horizontal surface. Magnets on a vertical surface (of 10mm thick steel) are generally able to hold around only 30% of the pull force listed in the product description. This is due to the effects of gravity and the lack of friction between the surface and the shiny magnet. Read More
Magnet Safety Warning
Magnets can pose a serious swallowing hazard to children. If multiple magnets are swallowed or inhaled, they may attract to each other inside the body, causing severe internal injuries, infection or death.
In accordance with Australian Government and ACCC safety guidelines, children's toys containing magnets must display appropriate warning labels.
Please note: we do not manufacture or sell magnetic toys.
AMF Magnetics accepts no liability for injury, damage or loss caused by the misuse, improper handling or unintended use of magnetic products. Read More
