Example INCH:
You would like to lift a plate of mild Cold Rolled Steel (CRS) which is 1/4 inch thick. The plate stands vertically, i.e.
at an angle of 90°, in your shelf rack and your magnet is ideally positioned, as shown in figure 1.
Material thickness:
Material:
Alignment of the load: 90° tilted; load hook facing upwards
Example mm:
You would like to lift a plate made of S235 which is 6mm thick. The plate stands vertically, i.e. at an angle of 90°,
in your shelf and your magnet is ideally positioned, as shown in figure 1.
Material thickness:
Material:
Alignment of the load: 90° tilted; load hook facing upwards
Maximum load weight with 3:1 safety factor = 800 lbs x 100% x 33% = 264 lbs
Maximum load weight with 3:1 safety factor = 360 kg x 100% x 33% = 120 kg
Adjustable shock absorber
An oil filled shock absorber is incorporated on the backside of the magnet in order to absorb any recoil energy of
the lever. The thinner the material to be lifted the higher the recoil energy to be absorbed. The set screw on the
backside of the magnet makes it possible to adjust the shock absorber variably, so that the upward movement of
the lever is controlled and operates smoothly. This adjustment should be made by using a flat-blade screwdriver.
1/4 inch max. load-bearing capacity at 0° = 800 lbs (see table 2, page 11)
mild steel holding force, subject to material = 100% (see table 1, page 9)
load-figure corresponding to direction = 30%
6 mm max. load-bearing capacity at 0° = 360 kg (see table 2, page 11)
S235 holding force, subject to material = 100% (see table 1, page 9)
load-figure corresponding to direction = 30%
