This electromagnet is designed for industrial applications requiring controlled holding and releasing of ferrous materials. It's ideal for automated systems, robotics, and securing doors or hatches on machinery. Its primary benefit is the instant magnetic field generation when powered and immediate deactivation when power is cut, offering precise control. A key consideration is that it requires a separate 12V DC power source, which is not included.

A 12V DC power source with a minimum output of 12W is required. This power supply is not included with the electromagnet.
The electromagnet has a safe working limit (SWL) of up to 226kg when used in a direct vertical position with electricity applied and the ferrous material in full contact.
No, the power supply (12V DC) is not included. You will need to source a suitable DC power adapter or supply separately.
This electromagnet is designed to attract and hold ferrous materials, such as iron and steel. It will not attract non-ferrous metals like aluminum or plastic.
It features a mounting hole on the reverse side, allowing it to be easily fixed to a surface using a suitable screw or bolt.
No, this is a DC electromagnet ('energise to hold') and requires a Direct Current (DC) power source. Using AC power will not activate it correctly and may damage the unit.
The electromagnet is supplied with approximately 620mm of wire for connection.
Ensure the electromagnet is connected to a stable 12V DC power source and that power is applied. Verify wiring connections and polarity if applicable. Check that the material being attracted is ferrous.
Confirm the power supply is providing at least 12V DC and 12W. Ensure the ferrous material is clean and in direct contact with the electromagnet's face. Check for any obstructions or air gaps between the magnet and the material.
This is uncommon for this type of 'energise-to-hold' electromagnet. If residual magnetism is suspected, ensure the power source is completely disconnected and there are no external magnetic fields interfering. Verify the power supply is DC, not AC.
Ensure the power supply meets the 12V DC / 12W specification. Prolonged operation at maximum load may cause some warming, but excessive heat indicates a potential issue with the power supply or a possible short circuit in the wiring.
