Battery-powered lifting magnet EPMB 3000 – 10000

The EPMB electro-permanent battery lifting magnets combine the advantages of permanent lifting magnets with those of electro lifting magnets.

Electrical pulses lasting only seconds switch the EPMB on automatically or manually at the push of a button. No current flows during load transport, yet the workpiece is held as securely as with a permanent lifting magnet.

The EPMB can be used individually or on magnetic lifting beams and is a practical option for three-shift operation. With the inching function, even stacked sheets from 6 mm thickness can be separated.

Thanks to pulse-current control, the EPMB lifting magnets use very little energy, which reduces operating costs and saves time.

The battery can be charged overnight from a standard AC socket. The magnets work independently of a power supply, can be moved by crane without any problems and lift both flat and round material.

The pick-up mechanism, which works almost like a remote control, makes the EPMB particularly efficient: the magnet switches on automatically as soon as the crane chain is fully relieved, with a magnetic sensor near the lifting eye acting as a proximity switch that triggers the switching pulse (ON/OFF pick-up mechanism). This saves work steps and therefore costs.

If automatic operation is not wanted, the magnets can also be switched directly on the device or with an optional remote control.

• Batteries are charged from the mains: recharging time approx. 8 h, operating time approx. 300 cycles
• No current flows during lifting (only an electrical pulse of a few seconds is needed to magnetise or demagnetise)
• Switched manually via push button or automatically via the pick-up mechanism
• 4 power levels for lifting material from 6 mm thickness
• Replaceable, durable gel battery
• Optional: positioning drawbar, swivelling ±60° in the Z axis
