A lifting magnet is a type of permanent magnet designed to produce a strong magnetic field in order to be used in applications in several industries where lifting large heavy ferrous objects is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifting magnets<\/a> will consist of a block with the main body and a rotor, it\u2019ll contain two magnets in the main body and rotor each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two magnets, when positioned in the same direction, will produce magnetic flux to lift ferrous objects and when the direction of the magnets is changed the load will be released as there is no magnetic pull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One crucial point is that the adhesion of objects to the magnet should be tight without any air trapped in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Permanent Lifting Magnets Different from Electro-Permanent Lifting Magnets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Permanent lifting magnets are\ndifferent from Electro-permanent lifting magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electro-permanent lifting magnets have an electric coil wound around the magnets that passes the electric current switch on the magnet. The electric current is used to switch the magnet on and off and is disconnected later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Permanent Lifting Magnets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main benefit of permanent lifting magnets<\/a> is their ability to be used in several industries, however, there are other benefits of using a lifting magnet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
