Rectangular lifting magnet EP
The EP type rectangular lifting magnet (rectangular electromagnet or electromagnetic gripper) is designed for handling sheet metal and slabs. The rectangular electromagnet with special shaped pole shoes is adapted to lift sheet metal coils with winding axis horizontal. The rectangular lifting magnet improves internal transport in steelworks, shipyards and foundries. The use of the electromagnet shortens loading times in ports, railway terminals and steel warehouses.
The rectangular lifting magnet is reliable, very robust and designed for S3 75% intermittent periodic duty. The lifting magnet is characterized by high attractive force, high lifting capacity and high handling efficiency. The 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.
