Circular lifting magnet EO
The EO type circular lifting magnet (electromagnetic gripper) is designed for handling ingots, pig iron, chips, steel and cast iron scrap. The lifting magnet of a special multi-pole design is adapted to lift sheet metal coils with winding axis vertical. The EO electromagnet improves internal transport in steelworks, shipyards, foundries and scrap processing plants. The use of the electromagnet shortens loading times in ports, railway terminals and steel warehouses.
The EO electromagnetic gripper is reliable, very robust and designed for S3 75% intermittent periodic duty. The electromagnetic gripper is characterized by high attractive force, high lifting capacity and high handling efficiency. The EO electromagnet has a high-quality winding made of aluminum tape with the highest class of insulation. This makes it resistant to high temperatures and very durable.

Working principle of the electromagnetic gripper
The electromagnetic gripper in a non-magnetized state (disconnected from the power supply) is lowered onto the load by the crane operator. After applying the supply voltage from the control cabinet, direct current flows through the electromagnet winding. A strong magnetic field is generated at the magnetic poles of the gripper. This operating state is called magnetization. The gripper attracts the load until the operator turns off the power. This operating state is called demagnetization. The digital AC/DC converter installed in the control cabinet is responsible for the quick discharge function of the circuit and regulation of the electromagnet power.

Why choose our circular lifting magnets?
EO circular electromagnetic grippers are designed mainly for handling scrap. Due to the shape of the body, they are also perfect for lifting coils of sheet metal and wire with a vertical axis. Our offer includes two gripper variants: a welded body and a cast body for difficult working conditions. We use materials with the highest magnetic permeability and windings with the highest insulation class. In addition to high-quality aluminum tape windings, we also offer coils made of copper, which provide higher electromagnet power with the same diameter. Copper winding is most often used in multi-pole construction for lifting heavy coils of sheet metal with a vertical axis. We also provide an electromagnetic gripper for working with material at temperatures up to 650°C. Thanks to the use of four-quadrant control, we have reduced the magnetization and demagnetization time of the grippers to a minimum, which significantly shortens the reloading time.
