Operating conditions
Never use lifting magnets without having read and understood the operating instructions.
■
Always arrange the load horizontally (horizontal load position).
■
Use the lifting magnet as an individual unit.
■
Never lift multiple load items together.
■
The workpiece always has to fully cover the pole surfaces of the magnet.
■
If possible, avoids air gaps between the load and pole surface, caused by, for example, unevenness, rough
■
surfaces, dirt and burrs.
Avoid thin loads if possible.
■
Lift and move loads made of material with the highest possible ferromagnetic alloy content (e.g. Fe and Co). The
■
adhesion forces are significantly reduced on stainless steel, cast iron or materials with a high nickel content.
