How to choose lifting magnets? We know that Lifting Magnets are significant to several industries, including car building, manufacturing, and other industries. To cater to different needs, we must consider these factors which HVR will discuss as follows.
What and How much are you lifting?
When we think about how to choose a lifting magnet, the first thing we need to know is: what and how much are you going to lift? You must know the material you are lifting at first. Lifting magnets can raise only ferrous material. The material also decides the number of magnets you need and the magnet’s size. Safety is our priority. We need to max out the magnet’s lifting capability to ensure lifting the handling material safely.
Additionally, the weight of the material identifies your working load. And the thickness will determine if your magnet can safely lift the fabric with a strong force.
Permanent magnet, electromagnet, OR electro-permanent magnet?
An electromagnet requires a power source; it’s easy to occur safety hazards. However, a permanent magnet is always activated and does not require a power source. But electromagnets are often stronger than permanent magnets because they have the power source driving the energy. Electro-permanent lifters only require electricity for activation and deactivation. And they will not use electricity during the lift. Hence, electro-permanent lifters are more energy-efficient compared with electro lifters.

All in all, the main difference between a successful lift and an accident is a right lifting magnet. So, on how to choose a lifting magnet, even if the actual scenario is different, these tips apply to most applications.
