    Lifting magnets

    Published: 2023-04-10 13:39:16 • Daniel Gårdefelt

    Mechanical on and off lifting magnets are a type of lifting magnet that use mechanical means to activate and deactivate the magnetic field. These magnets are used in a variety of applications where it is necessary to lift and move heavy objects safely and efficiently.

    Click here to see our lifting magnets and lifting tools.

    How a mechanical on and off lifting magnet works

    Mechanical on and off lift magnets are activated and deactivated using a mechanical lever or switch. When the lever is in the "on" position, the magnet creates a strong magnetic field that attracts ferrous material. This magnetic force is strong enough to lift and hold heavy objects securely.

    To release the object, the lever or switch is moved to the "off" position, which breaks the magnetic field and releases the object. This mechanical design allows for precise control over the lifting and dropping process, making it a safe and efficient method of lifting and moving heavy objects.

    Applications of mechanical on and off lifting magnets

    Mechanical on and off lifting magnets are used in a variety of applications, including:

    * Manufacturing: These magnets are used to lift and move heavy steel plates, rods and other ferrous materials in manufacturing facilities.
    * Scrap Handling: They are used in scrap yards to lift and move large pieces of scrap metal.
    * Construction: They are used on construction sites to lift and move steel beams, pipes and other materials.

    Advantages of mechanical on and off lifting magnets

    Mechanical on and off lifting magnets offer several advantages, including:

    * Safety: These magnets provide a safe way to lift and move heavy objects, as the mechanical lever or switch allows precise control over the lifting and dropping process. They also have a safety rating and are tested to lift significantly more than they are specified for (see individual product for which safety rating it is specified with).
    * Efficiency: These magnets can lift and move heavy objects quickly and efficiently, reducing the amount of time and labor required to complete a task.
    * Versatility: These magnets can be used in a variety of applications, making them a versatile tool for lifting and moving heavy objects.
