.jpg) | PowerLift® Magnets PowerLift® Rare Earth Lifting Magnets - Designed for Thick, Non-Flexing Material These compact, yet powerful, Rare Earth lift magnets can be used on flat or round surfaces and contain an internal release on/off device that does not contact or damage the surface of the part being lifted. Permanent magnetic lifts also eliminate the fear of dropping the load being lifted due to power failures.
Lock On & Off Features The new handle on the PowerLift® Rare Earth lift magnet features a positive lock-on and lock-off mechanism that requires the operator to manually switch between the two states. This prevents the handle from being turned only "partially on" and giving the operator a false sense of security that the magnet is holding safely, or from being accidentally bumped to the "off" position, dropping the load pre-maturely. NEW! VERTICAL LIFT ADAPTER Lift Thick, Non-Flexing, Vertically Oriented Material Applications:
Benefits:
The Vertical Lift Adapter(VLA), combined with an IMI PowerLift® magnet, lifts ferrous metal sheets, plates, rounds or billets from horizontal to vertical orientation or vise versa. The VLA is ideal for loading steel plate into vertical storage racks and for lifting plate steel, rounds or billets to machining centers or cutting tables. The Vertical Lift Adapter can be used on various flat steel plates or round shapes and allows the operator to lift loads up to 4 feet wide. The Vertical Lift Adapter also has convenient, built-in forklift brackets to move and handle steel in a horizontal orientation. The Vertical Lift Adapter is currently available for use with the PNL0800 and PNL1600. For additional models, or steel billet lifting applications, please contact our inside sales department at 888.582.0823. To view our complete selection of Lifting Magnets click on the link below.

.jpg) | Flexible Magnetic Strips Flexible magnetic strips are made of a Ferro Magnetic powder mixed with a polymer bonding. These high energy strips resist demagnetization and will not chip, crack or shatter. Mag-Mate's flexible magnetic rubber is magnetized with two or more poles along the length of the face, creating concentrated strength on the face of the magnet.
Flexible Magnets are great for signage and labeling steel shelves, drawers, file cabinets, magnetic white boards, doors, trays, machinery, etc. Use our adhesive backed magnetic strips to stick to your existing paper, cardboard, wood, plastic or metal label or sign and turn them into a magnetic version which will stick to any steel surface. If you already have adhesive labels of your own, our plain back version will suffice. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=39 | ||||||||

.jpg) | Alnico Alnico magnet material is an alloy made up of aluminum, nickel, cobalt and copper, with a rough cast surface which can be ground to close dimensions and to a bright metallic finish. Alnico is electrically conducted, can be E.D.M.'d to form holes and shapes, and can be plated. Alnico is available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and is typically oriented magnetically through its length. Ideal for high heat applications, alnico can withstand operating temperatures up to 800OF. Raw magnet material is available in many different types, shapes, sizes and strengths. When selecting magnetic material to perform a given task, certain specifications need to be considered: dimensions, direction of the materials, magnetic orientation, tolerances, finish, strength, and the type of raw magnetic material desired, such as Rare Earth magnets, Ceramic magnets or even Flexible magnetic rubber. Mag-Mate raw magnet material meets Magnetic Materials Producers Association (MMPA) standards for physical quality and magnetic properties.

.jpg) | Ceramic Ceramic magnet material is a nonmetallic compound of iron oxide, strontium ferrite and small quantities of other metal oxides. The compound is calcined wet ball milled to a fine particle size, binders are added, then the mix is compacted in a press. The compacted shapes are fired at high temperatures in kilns to a closely controlled temperature cycle. Upon cooling, the parts are diamond sawed and diamond wheel ground to specifications. Low cost, light weight and fairly high energy, Ceramic is a hard, brittle, nonconductive material. It is difficult to grind and cannot be E.M.D.'d, machined or drilled by normal methods. Ceramic is dense black or blue-black in color. It has a thin cross section, is mostly available in slabs or rings and is usually oriented magnetically through its thickness. Ceramic magnet material performs best when temperatures do not exceed 350OF. Raw magnet material is available in many different types, shapes, sizes and strengths. When selecting magnetic material to perform a given task, certain specifications need to be considered: dimensions, direction of the materials, magnetic orientation, tolerances, finish, strength, and the type of raw magnetic material desired, such as Rare Earth magnets, Ceramic magnets or even Flexible magnetic rubber.
