Flat Faced Electromagnet Products from Magnetool
Flat faced magnets are suitable for flat and smooth materials in contact with the entire magnet face. Nevertheless, this tool gives you the freedom to control the electrical current running through the magnet at any given time, giving you the power to deliver the strength needed for a particular application. Bipolar and other style electromagnets may be better suited for round and irregular shaped products. Contact Magnetool for recommendations.
Features:
- Round electromagnets: Flat round magnets have lbs. pull ranges from 4 to 1000 with multiple voltage options for each model.
- Rectangular electromagnet: Pound pull selection ranges from 200 to 5000, with different voltage options for each model.
- Electromagnetic current: Utilizes D.C. current to hold and release ferrous material on command.
- Most standard electromagnets are 100% duty cycle for continuous operation.
These small flat magnets have a concentrated magnetic force at the magnet’s face for superior holding strength. It ensures the product won’t come loose and cause damages or injuries while moving or handling.
Common Applications of Small & Flat Faced Magnets
Flat faced electromagnets are used in numerous industrial applications to securely hold materials during transportation or production. They can pick up, move, and drop off any flat ferrous material, such as steel plates and panels.
Typical applications include the following:
- Automated steel parts handling system
- Holding ferromagnetic workpieces during the assembly or machining process
- Industrial lifting magnets
- Custom size and shape electromagnets available
- Magnet controllers can be provided for rapid automatic parts handling
- Small and large electromagnets and systems for any size, shape, and weight parts
A flat faced rectangular electromagnet has specific applications which a flat round electromagnet can’t achieve and vice versa. It’s best to determine the type of small electromagnet you require based on your daily operation to choose the right shape, watts, and lbs. pull that will improve your productivity.
