Magnetic Lifters
Magnetic Lifters
Permanent magnetic lifters are a type of industrial equipment used to lift and transport heavy metal objects. They operate by creating a powerful magnetic field using permanent magnets that can attract ferromagnetic materials such as steel, iron, and sheet metal. These magnets are typically made from rare earth metals like neodymium, which are significantly stronger than traditional ferrite magnets. Magnetic lifters using N42 - N52 series neodymium magnets can handle loads up to 5 tons. This value is calculated as the maximum strength for very thick metals. For instance, if you use a 5-ton lifter to lift a 2-3 mm thick sheet, the actual lifting capacity will likely be less than 1 ton.
Lever-operated magnetic lifters typically consist of a handle and a body containing the magnets. The body of the lifter is placed against the object to be lifted, and the handle is used to activate the magnets. The object is then attracted to the magnets and held in place until the handle is released.
Lever-operated magnetic lifters are commonly used in industrial and construction environments for transporting heavy metal objects such as steel plates, bars, and pipes. They are also used in shipyards, ports, and warehouses for loading and unloading cargo. These lifters are easy to use and do not require a power supply, making them a cost-effective and practical option for many industrial operations.
