Steel Horseshoe Magnet
Steel Horseshoe Magnet (Product Code: SLE/MG/04) is a U-shaped steel permanent magnet used to demonstrate the strong, concentrated field between two close poles in school and college physics labs. It is painted red with silver poles, comes with a keeper, and is offered in 75 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm lengths. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for school physics lab equipment in India and abroad.

What Is the Steel Horseshoe Magnet Used For?
Bending a magnet into a horseshoe brings its north and south poles side by side, so the field in the gap between them is strong and fairly uniform. Teachers use this to show why horseshoe magnets lift more than bar magnets of similar size, to map the field in the gap with iron filings or a plotting compass, and to place a current-carrying wire between the poles for simple motor-effect demonstrations. With three lengths, students can also compare how the size of the magnet changes what it can pick up.
The silver ends mark the poles clearly against the red body. Always put the keeper back across the poles after use; it closes the magnetic circuit and helps a steel magnet hold its strength. Store the magnets dry, away from heat, and do not drop or hammer them. These are standard physics lab instruments in India for Class 6 to Class 12 magnetism work.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The length you need: 75 mm, 100 mm or 150 mm
- Whether you want single lengths or the set covering all three lengths (confirm the set make-up with us)
- The quantity for each length, for example one per student group
OEM Manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions
What lengths does the Steel Horseshoe Magnet come in?
The Steel Horseshoe Magnet (SLE/MG/04) is offered in three lengths: 75 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm. State the length, or lengths, and the quantity of each when you ask for a quotation so the order matches your lab plan.
Does the Steel Horseshoe Magnet include a keeper?
Yes, the Steel Horseshoe Magnet includes a keeper. Placing the keeper across the silver poles after every lesson completes the magnetic path and helps the steel magnet keep its strength while it is stored.
How can students tell the poles apart?
The Steel Horseshoe Magnet is painted red with silver poles, so the pole ends stand out clearly. Students can identify north and south by testing each pole with a plotting compass or a freely suspended bar magnet.
Why use a horseshoe magnet instead of a bar magnet?
A Steel Horseshoe Magnet brings both poles close together, giving a concentrated field in the gap. That makes it better for lifting demonstrations and for placing a wire or small coil between the poles than a straight bar magnet.
Who manufactures the Steel Horseshoe Magnet?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Steel Horseshoe Magnet (SLE/MG/04), producing it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying buyers factory-direct.
What should a quotation request include?
For the Steel Horseshoe Magnet, include the length or lengths needed, the quantity of each, the delivery location and whether the order is for a school, a tender or export. Send it through our contact page.
