Compared with mechanical alternatives, a magnetic chuck offers clear advantages when lifting, moving and clamping ferromagnetic workpieces.
- Saves time by eliminating the lengthy attachment and release of slinging and lifting accessories (chains, ropes, clamps, terminals)
- Easy one-person operation; anyone can use it after a short training period
- Maintenance-free and virtually wear-free
- Horizontal and vertical application possible
- Consistent and predictable magnetic force
What are the benefits of a magnetic chuck during clamping?
- Minimises setup times through fast and easy clamping
- Longer tool life thanks to low-vibration clamping
- 5-sided machining
What advantages do I have with an Assfalg magnetic chuck?
All Assfalg electro-permanent magnetic chucks are equipped with the maximum number of poles for the size of the chuck.
If you compare prices, it is important to analyse the clamping force of the chuck, because for the magnetic clamping force it is not the size of the chuck but the number of poles in the chuck that matters. This means that for magnetic chucks of the same size you may see larger price differences.
Why is a price comparison important when buying a magnetic chuck?
You have already informed yourself about magnetic clamping, but the advantages of the different electro-permanent square-pole chucks are not yet clear to you? Before deciding on an electro-permanent magnetic chuck from those available on the market, please ask yourself the following questions:
- Which chuck is advantageous for your individual application?
- What specific technical features do the different electro-permanent magnetic chucks have?
- Which material do you work with?
- How thick and how large are your workpieces?
- How often are the workpieces machined?
Why should you buy an Assfalg magnetic chuck?
The Assfalg Magnaslot electro-permanent magnetic chuck is ideal for clamping small and large workpieces in milling operations. The pole extensions, which are easily fixed to the surface of the magnetic chucks, guarantee distortion-free clamping even for irregular workpieces. The full-steel body, patented and supplied only by Assfalg, provides ideal protection against external influences such as hot chips and coolant. If you are working on very large workpieces, up to 4 magnetic chucks can optionally be used together.
What are my advantages when clamping?
- Quickly minimises setup time and enables easy clamping
- Increased tool life thanks to vibration-free clamping
- 5-sided machining
