Pole Shoes (2 Pieces)
Product Code : SCL-EI-10711
These electromagnet accessories are used for shaping magnetic fields, creating a defined air gap, and supporting magnetic force experiments in school and college physics laboratories.
Quick Answer: Pole Shoes (2 Pieces) are a matched pair of pole-face attachments fitted to a compatible electromagnet to concentrate and shape the magnetic field across a defined air gap, supporting current balance, Hall effect, and induction experiments.
Pole Shoes 2 Pieces from Lab Glassware Manufacturer are intended for use with compatible electromagnets and magnetism experiment setups. A pair of pole shoes can help concentrate and guide the magnetic field between pole faces, making them useful for demonstrations involving magnetic flux, field uniformity, current balance, Hall effect, and induction experiments. This product belongs to the physics lab equipment category and is intended for supervised educational use.
Key Features
- Set of 2 pole shoes: Supplied as a pair for use on compatible electromagnet pole ends.

How to Use the Pole Shoes (2 Pieces)
- Switch off and disconnect the electromagnet before fitting the pole shoes.
- Check that both pole shoes match the electromagnet pole size and mounting arrangement.
- Fix the pole shoes securely to the pole ends using the approved mounting method.
- Set the required air gap for the conductor, coil, Hall probe, or sample.
- Apply current to the electromagnet only within the confirmed rating of the apparatus.
- Switch off the supply before adjusting, removing, or replacing the pole shoes.
Safety note: Keep fingers clear of the air gap and pole faces during adjustment. Do not use loose or incompatible pole shoes, and use suitable safety protective wears during broader electrical or magnetic-field demonstrations.
Care & Maintenance
- Keep pole faces clean, dry, and free from rust, dust, and metal particles.
- Store the pair together to prevent loss or mismatching.
- Do not drop, dent, or file the pole faces, as this can affect field uniformity.
- Check mounting holes, screws, and contact surfaces before each practical session.
Pairing Pole Shoes with Magnetic-Force and Hall Effect Apparatus
Pole shoes are a fitment accessory, not a standalone experiment — they only add value once matched to a compatible electromagnet and paired with the right measuring apparatus. Lab Glassware Manufacturer's Current Balance and Current Balance Complete Test Apparatus use the air gap created by pole shoes to measure magnetic force on a conductor, while the Hall Effect Universal Holder and Hall Effect Zinc Test Sample can be positioned within the same pole gap for Hall voltage measurements. Confirm pole size, mounting holes, and air-gap range with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering to ensure fitment with your specific electromagnet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are pole shoes used for in physics labs?
Pole shoes are used with electromagnets to shape the magnetic field, create an air gap, and support experiments involving magnetic force and field distribution.
How many pieces are included?
This item is supplied as 2 pieces, normally used as one matching pair on an electromagnet.
Are these suitable for current balance experiments?
Yes, pole shoes can support current balance experiments if they match the electromagnet and provide the correct air gap for the conductor loop.
What material are the pole shoes made from?
The exact material is not specified.
Will these fit any electromagnet?
No. Compatibility depends on pole size, mounting holes, fixing method, and required air gap. Confirm the electromagnet model before ordering.
