Extended Product Information

FAQs

What power supply is required for this electromagnet?

This electromagnet requires a 24V DC power supply with a 100W rating. The power source is not included.

What is the maximum holding force?

The electromagnet has a maximum possible pull force rating of up to 40kg.

How is the electromagnet mounted?

It is supplied with an M6 threaded hole on the reverse for fixing and mounting.

Can this electromagnet be used for continuous operation?

While designed for demanding applications, continuous operation without adequate heat management might lead to overheating. It's best suited for applications with distinct holding and release cycles.

What does 'Energise to Release' mean?

'Energise to Release' means the electromagnet holds something securely when power is applied and releases it when the power is cut. This is the opposite of 'Energise to Hold' magnets.

What is the outer shell made of?

The outer shell is a sturdy, bright nickel-plated cylinder, passivated for durability.

What are some common applications for this electromagnet?

Common applications include door locking, access control, fire door holding, medical devices, automated machinery, and pick and place equipment.

Troubleshooting

Electromagnet does not engage (no holding force)

Verify that the power supply is connected correctly and providing 24V DC. Check the wattage output of the power supply. Ensure connections are secure and free of damage.

Electromagnet does not release when power is cut

Ensure there is no residual magnetism. Check for mechanical obstructions preventing release. Confirm the power supply is fully disconnected and not providing standby voltage.

Weak holding force

Check the distance between the electromagnet and the metal surface it's attracting. Ensure the surface is ferrous metal and clean. Verify the power supply is stable at 24V DC and delivering adequate power.

Electromagnet overheats during operation

Ensure the power supply's wattage rating is appropriate for the 100W draw. Avoid continuous duty cycles unless specifically designed for them and allow for cooling periods. Check for any short circuits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong holding force up to 40kg
  • Durable nickel-plated construction
  • Versatile for numerous industrial applications
  • Easy to mount with M6 thread
  • Reliable energise-to-release functionality

Cons

  • Power supply not included
  • Requires a 24V DC power source
  • Specific operating voltage limits functionality
  • Not designed for continuous duty without proper heat management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Mount the electromagnet securely using the M6 threaded hole on the reverse. Ensure the surface it attaches to is clean and flat for optimal performance. Connect the electromagnet to a compatible 24V DC power supply (not included). The operating voltage is 24V DC at 100W.

Compatibility: This electromagnet is designed to work with any 24V DC power source that can supply sufficient wattage. It is compatible with door locking mechanisms, automated machinery, and security systems.

Care: Keep the electromagnet clean and free from dust and debris. The nickel-plated shell can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion. Regularly check the pull force to ensure it meets the required holding strength.
