Permanent Lifting Magnets
FX lifting magnets are the innovative product in the field of magnetic lifting technology. They operate with a single-magnet system consisting of high-energy half-shell magnets, which can be fully activated in only 90° of switching travel, and is completely recoilless and self-braking.
The solid, ball-bearing mounted switching shaft with the built-up half-shell magnets has no magnetic losses due to internal short-circuiting and can be manufactured in one piece along its entire length without welds, tapered transitions or milled recesses for block magnets, making it virtually indestructible.
The unique, patent-pending design with half-shell magnets and the reduction of the internal air gap in the magnet system ensure significantly higher performance with the same amount of magnet material - reducing costs and protecting the environment.
Fx is not only a clever magnet concept, but a complete product family, for almost every application there is a suitable FX lifting magnet product.
Electro-Permanent Lifting Magnets
Electro-Permanent Magnet Technology stands for maximum safety in lifting magnets. The advantages of the reliability of permanent magnets and the user-friendliness of electromagnets are combined in a common concept. In the event of a cable break or power failure, the lifted load cannot fall off. There are no batteries to maintain, activation/deactivation is done by pressing a button, by radio remote control or signal output from a control system provided by the customer.
Depending on the application, the FXE product range offers different concepts.
Ejector magnets
Ejector magnets describe systems which can lift a load but are not to be called lifting magnets in the sense of EN 13155:
- Permanent magnetic transporters for metal sheets, which are very popular in many companies, but do not meet the current standard for lifting magnets.
- Electric lifting magnets for bulk material, which are operated up to max. 20 kg bulk material without supporting battery, or are also used in protected areas and automated plants.
- Battery operated magnets, which continue to carry their load in the event of a power failure, but are still dependent on a permanent power supply, in this case from the battery.
