A Brief Guide of Electro Permanent Magnetic Grippers

Magnetic grippers are widely used in various industries for material handling tasks. They provide a safe and efficient way to handle ferromagnetic materials such as steel. In this article, we will discuss what magnetic grippers do, the working principle and the types of materials they are applicable to handle.

What Do Magnetic Grippers Do?

Magnetic grippers are devices used to lift and move ferromagnetic materials. They use the magnetic force generated by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet to lift and hold the material. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be customized to fit the specific requirements of different applications.

What Is the Working Principle?

The control system uses an electrical current to activate or deactivate the electromagnets. When the magnets are activated, they generate a magnetic field that enhances the holding force. Conversely, when the magnets are deactivated, the holding force is released, and the material can be released.

The advantage of electro permanent magnetic grippers is that they do not require a continuous power supply to hold the material. The holding force can be maintained even if the power supply is interrupted or fails. This makes them a safe and reliable option for material handling tasks.

What Types of Materials Are Magnetic Grippers Applicable to Handle?

These grippers are applicable to handle ferromagnetic materials such as steel, iron, and nickel. They are widely used in various industries for material handling tasks, including lifting, transporting, and positioning materials. Some common applications include handling steel plates, pipes, profiles and bars. They can also be used to handle irregularly shaped materials.

Conclusion

In conclusion, electro permanent magnetic grippers provide a safe and efficient way to handle ferromagnetic materials, and their working principle makes them a reliable option for various applications. They are applicable to handle various ferromagnetic materials, and their flexibility and customization options make them a versatile solution for many material handling tasks.
