Lifting magnets move tubing, coils and plate in steel mills. Lifting magnets move scrap in scrap yards. However a lifting magnet is used, lifting magnets are designed to live in extreme hot and extreme cold conditions with constant exposure to shock. Do the lifting magnets you use in your industry provide weak productivity? Dropped loads? […]
Ohm’s law — How a lifting magnet work
Industrial Lifting Magnets are very simple machines. They are nothing more than a string of wire wrapped around a magnetic core. This string of wire has resistance (ohms) that govern what current (amps) flows at a given voltage (volts). All DC magnets obey Ohm’s law. A magnet at room temperature, or ambient temperature, has the […]

How do you keep magnets safely within their designed operating range?
Simply by paying strict attention to the magnet’s duty cycle. Duty cycle is the time the magnet is in use. More specifically, duty cycle is the percentage of time a magnet is to receive its rated voltage in any 10-minute period. Most magnets are designed to operate at a 50 percent or 75 percent duty […]
