Electro Permanent Lifting Magnets vs. Permanent Lifting Magnets: Which Is Better?

In the world of industrial material handling, magnets have become a primary tool for safely and efficiently moving loads.  Two popular types of lifting magnets are electro permanent lifting magnets and permanent lifting magnets.  In this article, we will explore the benefits of electro permanent lifting magnet and compare them to permanent lifting magnet.

Permanent Lifting Magnets

These magnets do not require an external electric current to function. They generate a constant magnetic pull that is enough to lift heavy objects. They come in different sizes and shapes and can lift objects weighing between a few hundred pounds to several tons.

They are popular because of their simplicity and affordability. They do not require an electrical connection, meaning that they can be easily installed and used in remote locations that don’t have electrical power. They are also safe and reliable since they don’t rely on electricity to maintain their magnetic force.

Electro Permanent Lifting Magnets

These magnets use both permanent magnets and an electric current to create a strong magnetic pull that can lift and hold heavy loads.

When the electrical current is switched on, it energizes the coils in the magnet and creates a powerful magnetic field. Once the magnet has attached to an object, the electricity supply can be turned off, and the magnet will stay in place. They allow users to control the magnetic force, meaning that they can adjust the strength of the magnet as they need.

One of the distinct advantages of electro permanent lifting magnets is the automatic attachment and detachment capabilities. Using a control panel or remote, an operator can easily turn the magnetic force on and off, allowing for quick attachment and detachment of the load.  This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of accidents and injuries associated with manual handling.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both lifting magnets have their unique benefits and drawbacks. If precision, safety, and control are essential, electro permanent lifting magnets are the better choice. Consider the type of work you need the magnet to perform, your budget, and the long-term maintenance cost before deciding which lifting magnet is best suited for your business. For more information, please contact HVR MAG at export@hvrmagnet.com
