AlNiCo Horseshoe / U-Shaped Magnet Description

A horseshoe magnet is shaped like a U or a half-circle, with the north (N) and south (S) poles at its two ends and a gap in the middle that looks like a horseshoe. Its internal structure can be thought of as having two layers: an inner molecular layer and an outer one. The inside is divided into N-type and S-type regions, and the way the molecules are arranged on the outside helps the magnetic pull between the poles come together to form an overall magnetic field. This design allows the magnetic field lines to form a closed loop between the two poles, which makes the magnetic field more focused.

The Alnico horseshoe magnet is composed of aluminum-nickel-cobalt with excellent temperature stability and high residual inductance. Alnico magnets include metal keepers to help retain magnetic power.

Magnetic Field Characteristics of Horseshoe / U-Shaped Magnets

With a horseshoe magnet, the magnetic field lines flow outward from the north pole and then curve around to the south pole. Inside the magnet, they go from the south pole back to the north. Because the two poles are close together, the field lines take a shorter, more direct path, which creates a stronger and more even magnetic field. This shape doesn't just boost the magnetic strength—it also makes the magnet less likely to demagnetize itself, helping it stay magnetic for a long time.
