Proper use
The TMC 600R is a switchable magnetic clamp equipped with permanent magnets which is designed for
attachment to ferromagnetic, metallic work pieces. It may only be used according to its technical data and
determination. Proper use includes adherence to the start-up, operating, environment and maintenance conditions
specified by the manufacturer. The user bears sole responsibility for understanding the operating manual as well as
for proper use and maintenance of the magnetic clamp.
Device description
The TMC (Thin Material Clamper) is a switchable magnetic clamp with manual actuation designed for attachment
to ferromagnetic materials. The magnet can be activated by pushing the activation lever (A) into the ON position
until it audibly latches into place. The installed permanent magnet (B) generates a magnetic field in the lower
magnetic plate area (E). Owing to the special design of the TMC 600R, this magnetic field is very compact and
develops excellent adhesive force especially on thin materials of less than 10 mm. The activation lever must be
lifted slightly at its end and returned by 60° into the OFF position in order to deactivate the magnet. Care must be
taken that the lever springs back strongly when working on thin materials.
Multiple threaded holes (C) and precise round holes (D) which can be used individually are located on three sides
of the magnetic clamp. A groove in the magnetic contact area (E) allows also for the lifting of round pipes.
Be sure to read the operation instructions completely before using the magnet for the first time!
A) Activation lever
B) Aluminium housing
C) Threaded holes for attachment
D) Drilled holes for cylinder pins
E) Magnetic surface with groove
