Why is a clean magnet contact surface so important? 🧲🔍
In daily operations with lifting magnets like our GP 250, it pays to remember one essential step before every lift.
What happens during operation?
⚙️ Steel chips, swarf, or other small metal particles can easily get caught on the bottom active surface of the magnet.
💨 These particles create an unwanted air gap between the magnet and the load.
📉 As a result, the total clamping force of the magnet is reduced.
How to ensure 100% performance and smooth handling?
1️⃣ Check the bottom poles before placing the magnet on the material.
2️⃣ Clean the surface mechanically and remove all material residues.
3️⃣ Perfect contact with the workpiece guarantees full magnetic force.
