FAQS
What is an electropermanent magnet and how does it work?
An electropermanent magnet is a lifting device that combines permanent magnets and electromagnets to handle ferrous materials. It uses a brief electrical current only to activate or deactivate the magnetic field. Once activated, it securely holds the load without requiring continuous power, ensuring both efficiency and safety.
Is an electropermanent magnet safe if the power supply fails?
Yes. Electropermanent magnets remain securely engaged even in the event of a power failure. Since they do not rely on continuous electricity to hold the load, they provide a higher level of safety compared to traditional electromagnets.
What are the advantages of using an electropermanent magnet over other lifting solutions?
Electropermanent magnets offer several key advantages:
-
They consume significantly less energy than electromagnets.
-
They ensure load security even during power outages.
-
They provide faster cycle times and require minimal maintenance.
-
They can be customized to suit specific load shapes and operational needs.
Does an electropermanent magnet require regular maintenance?
Electropermanent magnets are designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Their robust, sealed construction minimizes wear and tear, reducing downtime and operating costs over time. However, periodic inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Can an electropermanent magnet be customized for my specific operation?
Yes. Crosby Airpes engineers and manufactures electropermanent magnets tailored to your exact requirements. The modular system allows the number and arrangement of magnets to be adjusted based on the load dimensions, weight, and beam configuration.
What materials can be lifted with an electropermanent magnet?
Electropermanent magnets are designed to lift a wide range of ferrous materials, including steel plates, sheets, slabs, beams, pipes, and other iron-based components. They can also handle irregularly shaped and uneven loads efficiently.
