HX MAGNETIC HANDLES
The HX magnetic handles are the ideal tool for handling elements that are difficult to transport safely and quickly, such as sharp, hot, or gripless parts. The powerful magnetic system can be activated and deactivated with a rotation of only 45°. Magnetic shafts mounted on ball bearings and corrosion-protected surfaces ensure a long service life. Depending on the application, different variants and handle lengths are available. A safety factor of 2.5 guarantees maximum safety when using the HX magnetic handle. We recommend the HX handle for cleaning cutting tables, handling elements in welding systems, guiding parts on cranes, lifting parts from boxes, and many other applications.

FAQs
To increase productivity and safety
Contact surface between magnetic handle and material to be lifted
A distance between the magnetic pole and the load to be lifted creates an air gap. Rust, paint, dirt, paper, or an uneven contact surface produce air gaps; the magnetic force is inversely proportional to the thickness of the air gap present.
Material thickness
The magnetic flux path inside a workpiece is represented by a semicircle starting from the center of one magnetic pole and closing at the center of the opposite pole. In a thin piece, this flux path cannot be completely closed, creating flux leakage. Therefore, the resulting holding force will be lower than that obtained when the entire magnetic flux is absorbed by a material of sufficient thickness to contain it.
Workpiece dimensions / intrinsic stability
Contact surface, thickness, and length of the material to be handled are factors that influence the magnetic attraction force. We recommend consulting our technicians to verify the suitability of the selected equipment for your specific application.
Chemical composition of the material
The chemical composition of the load to be lifted can also influence the magnetic attraction force, depending on its magnetic permeability. Common steels (ST37–52) with low carbon content have good magnetic permeability. Alloy steels containing non-ferrous components have low magnetic permeability. Heat treatments that modify the molecular structure of the steel can also reduce its magnetic permeability. The more an alloy is alloyed, the poorer its magnetic response and the higher the risk of residual magnetism in the workpiece.
Material temperature
As temperature increases, the molecules of the ferromagnetic material move faster, which causes a reduction in the material’s magnetic conductivity. The operating temperature of the magnetic handles is up to a maximum of 80°C.
