Selection goals
Lifting magnets are chosen for safe handling, repeatability, and predictable holding force across real-world conditions.
Core selection factors
- Load type: flat plate, round stock, irregular shapes.
- Surface condition: coatings, scale, rust, or paint reduce holding force.
- Air gap: even small gaps cut performance.
- Duty cycle: continuous vs intermittent use.
Safety checklist
- Define target load and required safety factor.
- Specify the mating material and thickness.
- Describe surface condition and expected air gap.
- Confirm operating temperature and environment.
Common RFQ mistakes
- Assuming lab pull force equals real-world lifting force.
- Omitting air gap and surface condition details.
- Ignoring demagnetization risk at higher temperatures.
Practical RFQ inputs
- Target load and safety factor.
- Workpiece geometry and material.
- Maximum air gap and surface finish.
- Preferred handling method and duty cycle.
