Magnetic Systems

Heavy duty lifting magnets are devices that help to pick up and move heavy metals, mostly iron and steel. Commonly used across workshops, warehouses, factories and steel yards, it uses strong permanent magnets to move things such as steel plates, beams, bars, and pipes. 

Built for challenging industrial tasks, heavy duty lifting magnets enable the safe lifting and positioning of large steel or iron materials, thereby reducing the risk of slipping and other damage. 

Advantages of Heavy-Duty Lifting Magnets

- Electro-permanent lifting magnets offers several advantages such as: 

- They leave little to no marks or scratches on the metal surface. 

- Require power only for activation and deactivation.

- Heavy duty magnets don't require continuous supply of power to operate. 

- They are durable, reliable and easy to operate. 

- Environment friendly as they don’t need oils or any sort of lubricants. 

- Electro permanent magnets hold the workpiece clamped with consistent force. 

Applications 

 Heavy-duty lifting magnets find their applications across diverse industries such as: 

1. For Steel Distributors and Mechanical Workshops

- Telescopic beams TM series for handling sheet metal up to 20 m

- Fixed beams of the series BF/BFS for strips

- Tilting TB beams for sheet metal in vertical warehouses

-  SML modules for rolled blocks

2. Construction and Carpentry Sector

-  TP for profiles and beams

-  TU for single pipe or rolled

-  TT for loading and unloading cutting beds

-  EM for rod bundles

3. Steel Companies

-  SMH modules for forged blocks

-  RD and RDP for round pieces

-  CH and CV modules for coil handling

-  BL modules for billets

4. Special Loads

-  BR and BRW for slabs on cranes

-  RO for rails

Permanent magnetic lifters are preferred by many in the steel industry because they leave little to no marks or scratches on the material surfaces when compared to other solutions like clamps/hooks. Lifting magnets are permanent magnets that generate a larger and more intense magnetic field than ordinary ones. This happens due to its chemical composition of rare earth elements as well as some ferrites. Today, we can toggle on/off permanent magnets to our liking, thanks to modern technologies and magnetic research. Lifting magnets has become an efficient and viable option where a large number of metal plates, tubes, or any such metallic parts or scraps need to be lifted, which without them is immensely challenging. 

MAG - AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE SPA is considered the pioneer of magnetism in the industrial field. Since its inception in 1974, they have become the titan of permanent electromagnetic technology in the machine tool field. They have various branches all across the world, from Italy (Milan - headquarters) to the USA, Germany, France, and China, with excellent sales support in all of them. 

Their safe and efficient energy-saving lifting solutions are great options for heavy-duty lifting applications for steel plants, loading/unloading of steel materials/machinery, cranes at ports, and manipulators. 

The Quad System technology, invented by Technagnete in the 1980s, is the driving force behind their innovations. This technology features a permanent - electromagnetic circuit with altering North (N) and the South (S) poles arranged in a checkerboard pattern within a magnetically neutral frame. Each pole is constituted by a steel core, a reversible Alnico magnet, and mighty Neodymium magnets. By applying an electric pulse, the polarity of the reversible magnet shifts, which causes the magnetic field to move from the inside to the outside of the system and vice versa.  

Advantages over other magnetic configurations include - 

1. Permanent Electro Safety 

Electric power is required only for the initial activation (MAG) and the deactivation (DEMAG) process.  A brief electrical pulse of a few fractions of a second will magnetize the system, after which the workpiece remains clamped with consistent force, void of any further power consumption. The demagnetization is done with a subsequent electrical pulse, as well as the removal of the workpiece. 

2. Bi-directional and Neutral Crown circuit for maximum performance

The checkerboard square morphology enables a horizontal and flattened flow of circulation, which concentrates on the polar area, meaning the workpiece. The harmony between the North and South poles ensures a perfectly balanced magnetic field, eliminates magnetic dispersion, and delivers a consistent and reliable performance in all conditions. 

3. Respects the Environment 

Because it does not release any toxic/hazardous substances, they do not need chemical oils or lubricants that require frequent disposals. Therefore, it is a clean technology. The electric consumption, too, is only needed when activating and deactivating the system.
