SKU 9756 is a compact Alnico 5 rod magnet measuring 1/8 inch in diameter × 0.4687 inch long. It is suited to compact sensing, instrumentation and general magnetic-circuit applications where Alnico’s temperature stability is valuable.

Compact Alnico 5 Design Notes

Alnico offers excellent temperature stability and high residual induction, but its coercivity is lower than NdFeB, SmCo and ferrite. In compact open-circuit geometries, the magnet’s length-to-diameter ratio and surrounding return path should be considered carefully to reduce demagnetization risk.

The listed pull rating is not a universal design load. Real holding force varies with air gap, target steel, contact geometry, surface finish and pull direction.

For material selection, see Alnico Magnets: Properties, Grades, Uses & Buying Guide and the High-Temperature Alnico guide.
