Horseshoe Magnet
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11772
The JLab India Horseshoe Magnet is a high-remanence permanent magnet engineered for the empirical study of magnetic fields and flux density. Optimized for Primary and Secondary school physics, this "U-shaped" geometry is designed to bring the North and South poles into close proximity, creating a concentrated and accessible magnetic field. It provides a durable, high-visibility solution for demonstrating magnetic attraction, repulsion, and induction within institutional laboratory environments.

Key Pedagogical Outcomes (Bloom’s Taxonomy Alignment)
- Field Visualization Interface: Facilitates student visualization of magnetic flux lines, supporting Magnetism Module 101 by demonstrating how flux density is highest between the poles.
- Vector Quantification: Enables the physical study of magnetic force, allowing learners to apply iron filings or plotting compasses to map the direction and strength of the field.
- Magnetic Induction Analysis: Supports the analysis of temporary magnetism; students can observe how the horseshoe magnet induces polarity in a soft iron "keeper" or steel paperclips.
- Domain Theory Evaluation: Allows students to evaluate the impact of physical shock or heating on magnetic alignment, fostering an understanding of molecular magnetic domains.
International Logistics & Compliance
JLab India ensures comprehensive OEM readiness for global institutional procurement:
- Packaging: Export-grade seaworthy crating (ISPM-15 compliant) featuring high-density foam partitioning and magnetic shielding to prevent interference with navigational equipment during air or sea transit.
- Documentation: Includes Manufacturer’s Authorization Form (MAF), Certificate of Conformance (CoC), and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
- Shelf Stability: Every magnet is supplied with a high-permeability iron keeper to maintain a closed magnetic loop, ensuring the magnet does not "self-demagnetize" during long-term storage in laboratory cabinets.
Direct OEM Sourcing Advantages
Procuring the JLab India Horseshoe Magnet directly ensures vertical manufacturing control:
- In-House Magnetization: Every magnet is saturated in a high-intensity industrial solenoid to ensure a deep and uniform magnetic field throughout the material.
- Precision Pole Facing: The pole ends are precision-ground to be perfectly flush, ensuring maximum contact area and pull-force when used with the included iron keeper.
- Direct Factory Customization: Ability to procure high-coercivity Alnico variants for advanced university-level research or standard Carbon Steel for entry-level education.
- Manufacturing Control: Direct oversight of the paint and stamping process ensures that 'N' and 'S' markings are durable and will not fade after years of student handling.
