XPL SafeHold Magnets lift flat and round materials

Eriez' new XPL SafeHold Permanent Lifting Magnets allow users to lift either round or flat materials using the same magnet. Constructed with Erium 3000 rare earth magnet material, the four new magnets in the SafeHold line are small, lightweight and feature a powerful magnetic force. The two-pole design provides lifting versatility and enables the user to lift flat materials up to 2,400 pounds and round materials up to 1,600 pounds. Operating SafeHold XPL magnets is quick and easy, therefore fewer helpers are required. These innovatively designed magnets can lift and transfer steel and iron without slings, hooks or cables. Plus, when properly installed and operated, XPL magnets provide greater safety than other mechanical material handling devices.

With the XPL series, no electricity is required, so the potential of a power failure interrupting operation is eliminated. And because the continuous rare earth magnet provides the power until the magnet is turned off, there isn't any costly DC power supply or hassles of charging or replacing batteries.

Several SafeHold magnets can be combined to conform to the specific shape and weight of complex work pieces. The XPL series is ideal for many machine shop operations, including the loading and uploading of the machining center. With its internal on/off changeover mechanism, there is no scratching of the work surface when loading/unloading.
