Detailed Performance Data for the TML 500 F
Values shown for load capacity of the TML 500 F are based on material S235 JR for the maximum, vertical tractive
force with 0° deviation from the load axis including a 3:1 safety factor. This manual does not contain any instructions
for use on round material, as the TML 500 F is designed for flat material and round material or arched objects may
not be lifted.

The maximum dimensions of the loads to be lifted depend to a large extent on the geometry and flexural stiffness of
the work pieces. If the material bends, an air gap will form under the magnetic surface which will decrease the load-
bearing capacity significantly.
During each lift, watch for any deformation of the work piece that might occur and check for any air gap developing
at the edges of the magnetic surface contact area. You can use for instance a sheet of paper (80g/m
Spreader bars with additional magnets may be required to safely lift large or flexible loads.
Immediately stop the lift if there is any excessive deformation of the work piece or an air gap.
Never exceed load-bearing capacity given in the table 2.
