Lifting magnets are essential tools in industries such as scrap yards, shipyards, and steel workshops, where moving plate steel is routine. These devices enable safe and efficient lifting and positioning of flat or round steel in horizontal orientations. Note that the material must possess ferromagnetic properties to ensure a secure magnetic connection. Utilizing lifting magnets for sheet metal handling significantly simplifies the process, enhancing productivity in demanding environments.
What is a lifting magnet?
A lifting magnet is an industrial magnet designed to lift sheet material like sheets of steel. The sheets must be ferromagnetic to work.
Why is the air gap important when using lifting magnets?
Air gaps between the steel sheet and the magnetic lifting plate can reduce the performance of the magnet, reducing strength/grip. Air gaps are formed when there is some form of debris on the sheet or magnet, this could be dust, paint specks, scale or poorly machined surfaces.
What types of industrial lifting magnets are there?
There are 2 key types of industrial lifting magnets. Permanent magnets need no power supply, simply locking down the lever will apply the strong magnetic force needed. A battery lifting magnet uses a removable, rechargeable battery to apply the magnetic force, this is typically more powerful than a permanent magnet and thus can handle heavier weights.
