Magnets provide magnetic field to spiral electrons and this way to decrease the impact of the beam space charge on the electron trajectory (see section Physics).
The magnets used in SPS and LHC BGIs are originally from ISR machine. The can be found in the database for normal-conducting magnets: NORMA.
They are larde-aperture correction dipoles with field of 0.2T. The main specifications (from NORMA) are:

In both: LHC and SPS, there is always one corrector magnet in addition to the magnet holding the detector.
This scheme, with a single corrector, does not provide a closed orbit bump, but beam displacement, especially in LHC, is small. In SPS a three-magnet scheme was used. Disadvantage of the 3-magnet scheme is that the middle magnet must be powered with twice the current of side magnets, which means use of two different power converters. In case of failure of one of the power converters the beam will deviate from nominal orbit and will be lost on the aperture. Therefore it was tested and decided to use at SPS also only one corrector magnet (ref. Gilles Le Godec).
