AlNiCo Cow Magnets & Horseshoe Magnets
AlNiCo magnets combine classic design with dependable performance. They're trusted by STEM educators, ranchers, and DIYers alike. You can use them in classrooms, workshops, on the farm, or any application when reliability matters.
The familiar U-shape of alnico horseshoe magnets focuses magnetic strength at the tips for a strong, clear pull. These magnets also resist demagnetization very well and perform best in high-heat environments. AlNiCo magnets are tough, stable, and long-lasting, and they can get the job done when you need it most.
On the other hand, cow magnets are typically straight bar types made from alnico magnet alloy. They play an essential role in veterinary science. They prevent hardware disease in livestock by attracting stray metal pieces that cows may ingest while grazing.
Features
- Temperature-Resistant: AlNiCo magnets can hold their strength in environments up to 1000°F.
- Naturally Corrosion-Resistant: No coating is needed for typical indoor and outdoor use.
- Easy To Handle: Visible poles and simple mounting for educational and industrial settings
- Highly Durable: These products can maintain magnetic performance over time without crumbling or degrading
These magnets are designed to meet industry standards for quality and strength. Explore our featured AlNiCo cow and horseshoe magnets to find the ideal solution for your project or application.
Practical Uses of AlNiCo Cow and Horseshoe Magnets
| Agricultural Safety Cow magnets are inserted into a cow’s stomach to attract metal objects like nails and wire, preventing punctures and infections known as hardware disease. |
Classroom Demonstrations AlNiCo horseshoe magnets offer a clear visual of magnetic poles and field lines, making them ideal for magnetic field mapping, force direction studies, and STEM experiments. |
Lab and Physics Education Used in high-temperature experiments and electric field demonstrations due to their stability and resistance to demagnetization. |
| Pickup and Retrieval Tools Horseshoe magnets’ strong directional pull makes them excellent for retrieving metal parts from tight or hard-to-reach spaces in industrial settings. |
Industrial Fixtures Employed in jigs and holding devices where consistent magnetic performance is needed, especially under heat or vibration. |

What To Consider When Choosing AlNiCo Horseshoe and Cow Magnets
- Temperature Range: AlNiCo magnets tolerate high heat up to 1000°F, making them perfect for harsh environments like engine testing or foundry work.
- Magnetic Strength vs. Size: While AlNiCo magnets aren't as powerful per volume as strong neodymium magnets, they deliver consistent pull with minimal degradation over time.
- Shape and Pole Visibility: Horseshoe designs are great for precise demonstrations or setups requiring targeted attraction.
- Longevity: These magnets resist demagnetization better than most, maintaining performance for years.
- Safety and Handling: With their visible poles and lower brittleness than ceramic magnets, AlNiCo horseshoe magnet types are safer for supervised classroom or field use.
Handle With Care
AlNiCo magnets are slightly brittle and can chip or crack if dropped. Use caution when handling them in environments where impacts may occur.
Strength vs. Neodymium
AlNiCo magnets aren’t as strong as neodymium magnets, especially if there’s a gap between the magnet and the metal surface they’re in contact with. They're best suited for direct-contact applications.
Find the Right Fit for Your Lab, Farm, or Workshop
AlNiCo cow magnets and horseshoe magnets deliver classic power with proven durability. They’re perfect for a wide range of projects, from running magnetic field demos to designing tools that require dependable heat resistance.
