Parallel poles create a better magnetic hold on thinly painted, plated, or coated flat metal surfaces than other magnets. A terminal block on the magnet connects to a DC electromagnet power supply (sold separately). Holding power is not adjustable. When turned off, the magnet will still have some residual magnetism.

Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

Position the face of these magnets in direct contact with a flat metal surface and plug in to create a magnetic hold. The plug contains a transformer that converts power from AC to DC, so no additional wiring or power source is needed. Holding power is not adjustable. When turned off, the magnet will still have some residual magnetism.

For use alone or as part of an access-control system, these locks use electromagnetic force to hold single doors closed. Control the locks with a push-button switch or keypad door control (sold separately). When power is interrupted, they instantly release. All locks must be hardwired.

Flush mount locks mount under the door frame header. For locks with 500 lbs. and 1,500 lbs. of holding strength, a 5/8" thick filler plate (sold separately) is required if the mounting surface on the frame is less than 2" wide.

Offset mount locks mount on the door frame header and include a mounting bracket that extends the strike plate above the door.

Locks with instant locking action lock doors as soon as they are closed. Those with delayed locking action lock doors after a set amount of time.

Optional battery backup packs supply power during power interruptions.

Connect these magnetic grippers to an air system to lift odd-shaped and perforated metal parts that often cause traditional vacuum cups to lose hold. Designed to work in any position, they only require one flat surface to securely grip parts. All have durable rare earth magnets that stay engaged, so they won’t drop parts in the event of air loss. Plus, unlike electromagnetic grippers, they do not need electric power to create a magnetic hold. Use these grippers in a variety of automated production lines and robotic pick-and-place systems.

Standard and heavy-load grippers have two air connections, one at each end, and a magnetic piston. One connection uses air to extend the piston and grip your part, while the other uses air to retract the piston and release the magnetic hold. All of these grippers have top and side mounting threads for attaching an optional mounting adapter that fits in tool arms commonly found in automation applications. Those with a proximity sensor signal when the magnetic piston is gripping or releasing a part, and uses that information to trigger other actions in your system. The sensors have a standard 4-pole micro M12 plug for electrical connections.

Grippers with PNP sensors communicate proximity with a positive signal, while those with NPN sensors send a negative signal.

CE-marked grippers meet stringent European Union safety standards.

Friction rings absorb impact as grippers take hold to protect your parts from damage.

Note: Capacities listed are based on lifting flat metal that has a clean, smooth surface. If used on dirty, oily, thin, or curved surfaces, the capacities will be reduced.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
