Permanent Lifting Magnets
What are Permanent Lifting Magnets

Permanent lifting magnets incorporate permanent magnets in conjunction with steel parts. The permanent magnets provide the power for an indefinite period of time. For practical use the magnetic power of a permanent lifting magnet has to be turned ON and OFF. This is done mechanically. An external power source is not required which means that permanent lifting magnets can be used virtually anywhere. They are so-called "self contained" devices.

General aspects and application of Permanent Lifting Magnets

Permanent lifting magnets create a strong but, relative to electromagnets, low magnetic field. Therefore they are rather sensitive to air gaps. This means when the air gap between load and lifter increases, the magnetic force will decrease considerably. The handling of loads with a rough and uneven surface is therefore restricted. Because of the manual operation of this type of magnet it is not very convenient for use in multiple on a beam. They cannot be operated from a distance. Typically these magnets are used individually. Maximum workload limit is 2000 kg (Rating factor 3). The manual supplied with each magnet provides detailed information of its capacities under various conditions

 
The advantages of Permanent Lifting Magnets
  • Self contained, can be used virtually anywhere
  • Easy to operate
  • Minor investment
  • Low maintenance cost

Plate Lifter Wrist Magnet

Electro-Permanent Lifting Magnets
What are Electro-Permanent Lifting Magnets

Electro-Permanent (EP) lifting magnets incorporate permanent magnets in conjunction with steel parts. The permanent magnets provide the power for an indefinite period of time. An external power source is not required which means that electro-permanent lifting magnets cannot loose their power due to a mains power failure. The magnetic power of an electro-permanent lifting magnet is turned ON and OFF by means of electricity, a short current surge. After that the magnet could be disconnected from the control and be used as a "self contained" device.

Electro-permanent lifting magnets create a strong but, relative to electromagnets, low magnetic field. Therefore they are rather sensitive to air gaps-. When the air gap between load and lifter increases, the magnetic force will decrease considerably. Handling of loads with a rough and uneven surface is therefore restricted. Because of the electric operation of this type of magnet it is very convenient for use in multiple on a beam. They can be operated from a distance. EPH series are used individually. Maximum workload limit is 750 kg (Rating factor 3). EPHD series are used in multiple, suspended from a beam. The manual supplied with each magnet provides detailed information of its capacities under various conditions.
The advantages of Electro-Permanent Lifting Magnets
  • Self contained, can be used virtually anywhere
  • Easy to operate
  • Minor investment
  • Low maintenance cost
Battery Lifting Magnets
What are Battery Lifting Magnets

Battery Powered lifting magnets are electro-magnets carrying their own power source, a 12 V battery. The battery provides the power for approx. 8 hours. Due to the integration of the battery and a controller/charger unit these devices are self contained and have no restricting power cables. Moreover, the risk of sudden power loss due to a power source failure is virtually inexistent. The magnetic power of our Battery Lifting Magnet is turned ON and OFF by means of a controller which incorporates visual and audible warning signals to indicate low battery.

Remote control is optional.
General aspects and application of Battery Lifting Magnets

Battery lifting magnets create a strong and deeper magnetic field than permanent lifting magnets. Therefore they are less sensitive to air gaps and can also handle loads with a rough and uneven surface. Because of the electric operation, this type of magnet can be used in multiple on a beam, remotely operated by a common controller. Typically these magnets are used individually. Maximum workload limit is 5000 kg (Rating factor 2). The manual supplied with each magnet provides detailed information of its capacities under various conditions.
The advantages of Battery Lifting Magnets
  • Self contained, no restricting cables
  • Easy to operate
  • Minor investment
  • High lifting capacity
Electro (Electric) Lifting Magnets
What are Electro (Electric) Lifting Magnets

Electro lifting magnets incorporate a coil in conjunction with steel parts. Electric current provided to the coil generates power until the current is cut off. An external power source is required which implies that electro-magnets can loose their power due to a mains power failure or cable breakage. The magnetic power of an electro-magnet is turned ON and OFF and controlled by means of a controller. Variable power and demagnetizing belong to the possibilities.
General aspects and application of Electro (Electric) Lifting Magnets

Electro lifting magnets create a strong and deep magnetic field. Therefore they have a low sensitivity to air gaps. Handling of loads with a rough and uneven surface shouldn't be a problem. Because of the electric operation of this type of magnet it is very convenient for use in multiple on a beam. They can be operated from a distance. There is a wide variety of electric lifting magnets, for steel mills, scrap yards, plate or bundle handling. In this section we only address a special version for moving loose materials. The manual supplied with each magnet provides detailed information of its capacities under various conditions.
The advantages of Electro (Electric) Lifting Magnets
  • Strong, deep magnetic field
  • Easy to operate
  • Variable power and de-magnetisation
  • Very versatile
