Economy Alnico Bar Magnets (Product Code: SLE/MG/01) are painted alnico bar magnets, sold as a pair with a separator and keepers, used to teach magnetic poles, attraction, repulsion and field patterns in school physics labs. They come in two sizes, 2 x 1/2 x 1/4 inch and 3 x 1/2 x 1/4 inch, to suit different experiments. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as a bar magnet for school use in India.

Bar magnets are the starting point for magnetism practicals: finding north and south poles, showing that like poles repel and unlike poles attract, mapping field lines with a plotting compass or iron filings, and sorting magnetic from non-magnetic materials. Alnico, an alloy of aluminium, nickel and cobalt with iron, gives a strong field for its size but can lose strength if dropped or stored carelessly, which is why these magnets come with keepers.
After each lesson, store the pair side by side with opposite poles together, the separator between them and the keepers across the ends; this closes the magnetic circuit and helps the magnets hold their strength. Avoid knocking or dropping them. Together with a plotting compass, a pair forms the core of a simple magnetism experiment kit for Indian classrooms.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM manufacturer of these Economy Alnico Bar Magnets and produces them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, education departments, dealers and importers buy direct from the maker, and a single quotation can cover both magnet sizes.
Repeat orders, extra keepers or a mix of sizes for different classes can be discussed with the manufacturer — just ask us. Our company profile has more about the business.

What sizes are the Economy Alnico Bar Magnets available in?
The Economy Alnico Bar Magnets (SLE/MG/01) are available in 2 sizes: 2 x 1/2 x 1/4 inch and 3 x 1/2 x 1/4 inch. State the size and the number of pairs you need when you request a quotation.
What is included in each order unit?
Each unit of Economy Alnico Bar Magnets is one pair of painted magnets supplied with a separator and keepers. The separator keeps the magnets apart in storage, and the keepers close the magnetic circuit across their ends.
What are keepers and why do they matter?
Keepers are placed across the poles of the Economy Alnico Bar Magnets when they are stored. They complete the magnetic path between the paired magnets, which helps alnico magnets keep their strength between lessons, so always replace them after use.
Which experiments are these bar magnets used for?
The Economy Alnico Bar Magnets suit school magnetism practicals: locating north and south poles, showing attraction and repulsion, testing magnetic and non-magnetic materials, and plotting field lines with a plotting compass or iron filings.
Who manufactures the Economy Alnico Bar Magnets?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Economy Alnico Bar Magnets SLE/MG/01, making them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying schools, dealers and importers directly.
