Krympress reports:
Magnetic captures are becoming more and more popular. Manufacturers represent them in a wide variety of varieties and variations of execution. Let’s talk about how to choose optimal models.
Magnetic captures are a popular variety of lifting equipment. The uniqueness of the devices is that they are not equipped with cables, slings and all kinds of fasteners. To fix goods, exclusively the power of the magnetic field is used. Therefore, the equipment is in demand when lifting and moving heavy metal products.
Among especially popular varieties of equipment Magnetic capture for sheet metal and pipes of different diameters. Devices differ in the source of the electromagnetic field and shape. We talked with experts and learned about key factors that should be taken into account when choosing equipment.
Types and features of magnetic captures
Magnetic captures are widely used, including due to the simplicity of use. Their use allows you to save a lot of time to fix the cargo. The magnets are instantly “attached” to the surface, after which heavy metal objects can move in vertical and horizontal planes.
The following types of magnetic captures are distinguished:
- Constant — creating a permanent magnetic field that does not require connection to the mains.
- Electromagnetic — creating a magnetic field using electric current, requiring a network connection and differ in greater power.
- Hybrid — capable of combining the functionality of constant and electromagnetic captures and, accordingly, solve a wide range of problems.
The form distinguishes between ring and rectangular magnetic captures. The former are most suitable for plates, blanks and metal chips. Rectangular captures are more often used to move pipes and other long cargoes.
How to choose optimal magnetic grips
Experts recommend paying attention to the main parameters of captures and choose a model corresponding to the tasks facing the enterprise.
What should be paid to first of all:
- Type of cargowith whom you plan to work, some captures cannot work with alloys of certain types.
- Carrying capacity — It is advisable to select it with a margin, since during the operation of equipment it is impossible to allow its overload.
- The shape of the transported cargo — For example, some magnetic captures can be intended only for sheet rolling, or only for pipes, beams and so on.
Experts also recommend taking into account the features of equipment operation. Some magnetic captures may not be suitable for use in conditions of aggressive climatic and chemical exposure, with increased humidity and other adverse factors. In this case, it is worth choosing alternative solutions with enhanced protection against moisture, dust, metal corrosion and so on.
