Electro holding magnets & permanent electro holding magnets

Electro holding magnets consist of a coil that is located in a soft magnetic housing. Energising the coil creates an open magnetic field that exits via the pole faces of the housing. The magnetic field closes via a ferromagnetic component. In addition to the coil, a permanent magnet is also located in the housing of the permanent electromagnet.

The electromagnet at a glance

electromagnets, which are based on the principle of the Electromagnetism based, utilise current flowing through a wire coil to generate a magnetic field. These Dependence on the power supply This distinguishes them fundamentally from permanent magnets.
A key feature of electro-holding magnets is the controllability of their magnetic field:

  • The strength of the magnetic field can be changed simply by adjusting the voltage.
  • This property offers a High flexibility and enables the use in various applications, from the industrial production up to medical devices.

Electro & permanent electro holding magnets - Overview

Design The customisable design of the magnets enables seamless integration into a wide range of applications.
Control & adhesive force The holding forces of the magnets are adjustable to ensure optimum performance depending on requirements.
Speed The magnetic field can be set up and dismantled quickly, which makes these magnets ideal for dynamic pick & place applications.
Security Permanent electromagnets offer currentless holding, which increases safety in critical applications.
Quality assurance Remanence, i.e. residual magnetism in the workpiece, can be effectively reduced by a pole reversal control unit in order to guarantee product quality.

Properties of electromagnets

While electro holding magnets have a certain energy consumption, the focus of their use is on their Adaptability and precision orientated. These properties are crucial for their role in a variety of technological applications.
The ability to control the magnetic field Fast and precise makes electromagnets particularly useful in situations that require Rapid reactions and flexible adjustments require. Such applications benefit from the continuous adaptability of the solenoids, which makes it possible to respond to immediate changes in the operating environment or process requirements.

Your Flexibility and precise controllability make electromagnets an indispensable tool in many areas of technology. From the Production technology, where they are used for moving and positioning parts, through to scientific applications, Electromagnets show their versatility and importance in modern technology by being used to influence particle flows.

Areas of application

Holding magnets are widely used in the Industry, especially where a Precise and reliable adhesive force are indispensable. Your Compact design and strong holding force make them ideal for situations where available space is limited.

Electric holding magnets in safety technology

These magnets play an equally important role in safety technology. They are a Central component of safety and locking systems, in which they are used to securely close doors or flaps. Their Robust construction that requires no maintenance, make them a reliable solution in this area.

The electro-holding magnet in automation technology

Holding magnets are indispensable in automation technology. They are used in robots and other automated systems or hold-open systems, to position or hold parts precisely. Their fast reaction time and ability to exert large forces are particularly in demand in dynamic applications.

Electro holding magnets in medical technology

Holding magnets are also used in medical technology. This is where they are used, to hold or guide surgical instruments, which is particularly important in minimally invasive surgery. Their precision contributes to the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures.

Electromagnets in everyday life

In the Everyday use electromagnets are also widely used in a wide variety of designs. They can be found in Household appliances such as loudspeakers, relays, doorbells or mobile phones. The versatility and ease of use of these magnets make them a popular tool in many different areas of application.
