Pneumatically Switched Permanent Magnets are specifically designed for lifting thin items (0.2mm thick and above), items with uneven surfaces or items through large air gaps, such as packaged products.

The same magnet can handle different types of items and will be formatted to your selection of products.

These items are produced to order and are available in rectangular or circular versions. Special size options are available from 16mm diameter up to 1400mm x 1200mm (depalletisers).

Multiple parts can be lifted at the same time and intial part position is not critical. The handled product and packaging is not damaged by the unit.

  • Specifically designed for thin or uneven surfaced loads.
  • Designed to hold through large air gap e.g. packaged parts.

Lift in safety

The magnet material inside the unit is permanently magnetic. Air is only required to turn the unit itself on and off and does not affect the magnet material. This means if the unit is holding a load and the air supply fails, the load remains held.
