This alnico Horseshoe Magnet 50mm in height with a holding force of 1.36kgs. A magnetic shield is included to block the magnetic force for safely storing your magnet away without any unwanted items attaching to its surface.

Universally recognised as the symbol for magnets, the horseshoe magnet is an emblematic of the power of magnetism. When we first encounter the exciting and mysterious power of magnets in the primary classroom and later in the high school science laboratories it is the classic horseshoe magnets through which we make this introduction. Our childhood curiosity is sparked and the excitement to learn is invoked whenever we see this iconic symbol.

Horse shoe magnets are in fact configured in this way, to augment the magnetic field in such a way that the direction of the magnetic power is focused through the ends. The pointed ends of the horseshoe magnet concentrate, amplify and focus the magnet’s strength.
