Lifting magnets
Electro-permanent and electro-magnetic systems for a wide range of applications
Product Overview - Hold & transport
Two magnet variants
Electric lifting magnets & permanent electric lifting magnets
- Electric lifting magnets: This type of magnet works with electrical energy and generates a magnetic field when current flows through the coil. They can be manufactured in different sizes and load capacities and are ideal for use with heavy loads.
- Electro-permanent lifting magnets: This type of magnet uses a combination of electric current and permanent magnetism to create a magnetic field. They are more energy efficient than electric lifting magnets and can hold their load even during power outages or other disturbances in the electrical circuit.
VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
For logistics through to recycling
- Lifting and transporting steel sheets, shafts, slabs, pipes, blanks, profiles, beams, moulded parts, castings, workpieces
- Order picking of steel parts
- Automation of transport tasks

Influences on the load-bearing capacity
AIR GAP, DIMENSIONS, SURFACE FINISH AND MATERIAL
Influence of air gap
Influence of the workpiece dimensions
The field lines of the magnetic circuit close over the cross-section of the material to be transported, causing the transported goods to adhere to the magnet. The magnetic flux of the lifting magnet requires a corresponding cross-section in the material to be transported, which is defined primarily by its height (material thickness).
If the length or width of the transported goods is greater than the dimensions of the lifting magnet, thin parts in particular will bend and an air gap will form between the lifting magnet and the load. This reduces the lifting capacity of the lifting magnet. Very long parts may have to be picked up with several magnets. In order to achieve the full magnetic force, the entire pole surface of the magnet must be in direct contact with the load during magnetisation. Only partially covering the pole surface is not permitted.
