Lifting Magnets
- Battery Life: For battery powered lifting magnets, this specifies how long the magnet can operate on a single charge, which is important for planning work durations and ensuring uninterrupted lifting.
- Dimensions: The length, width, height, and weight of the magnet, important for determining compatibility with specific applications and ease of handling.
- Duty Cycle: For electromagnets, this represents the percentage of time the magnet can be safely powered without overheating. A 50% duty cycle means the magnet can be on for 5 minutes and off for 5 minutes in a 10 minute cycle.
- Handle Type: The design of the handle (if applicable), which can be fixed, rotating, or folding. A well designed handle aids in maneuvering and controlling the magnet, especially in manual operations.
- Lifting Capacity: The maximum weight the magnet can lift, typically measured in pounds or kilograms. This is the primary specification, determining the magnet’s suitability for different loads.
- Magnet Type: Refers to the type of magnet used, such as permanent, electromagnet, or battery operated. Each type has unique properties permanent magnets don't require power, electromagnets need a power source, and battery operated magnets offer mobility.
- Magnetic Field Strength: Measured in Gauss or Tesla, this indicates the strength of the magnetic field, affecting the magnet’s effectiveness on various materials and thicknesses.
- Material Compatibility: Specifies the types of materials the magnet is designed to lift, such as steel, iron, or specific alloys. Some magnets may not be compatible with certain metals or non ferrous materials.
- Mounting Options: Indicates if the magnet can be mounted on machinery, cranes, or other equipment. Some lifting magnets have attachment points or brackets for specific mounting configurations.
- Operating Temperature Range: The temperature range in which the magnet can operate safely without losing magnetism or strength. Exceeding this range may damage the magnet or reduce its holding power.
- Pole Configuration: The arrangement of the magnet’s poles, which influences the distribution of the magnetic field. Common configurations include parallel poles or multiple poles, affecting the contact area and holding strength.
- Release Mechanism: Some lifting magnets have a mechanism to release the load safely, such as a lever, button, or switch. This feature is essential for secure and controlled unloading.
- Residual Magnetism: The amount of magnetism remaining in the lifted material after the magnet is released. High residual magnetism can make it difficult to release certain materials or may attract debris.
- Safety Factor: A ratio indicating how much the magnet’s lifting capacity exceeds the rated load, providing a safety margin. For example, a safety factor of 3 means the magnet can lift up to three times its rated load in ideal conditions.
- Weight: The weight of the lifting magnet itself, which affects ease of transport, installation, and handling, particularly in portable applications.
