POWERLIFT® MAGNETS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on Permanent Rare Earth Magnetic Lifts, which are compact, switchable magnets used for lifting flat or round surfaces. These magnets feature an internal release On/Off device that does not damage the surface of the lifted part and are designed to prevent load drops due to power failures.
Key Features:
  • On/Off Rare Earth Permanent Magnet with a handle that locks in both positions.
  • Capable of lifting flat or round loads.
  • Easy internal manual release that does not contact the load.
  • RFID Enabled and heat resistant up to 180°F (82°C).
  • 3:1 Design Factor and compliant with ASME B30.20 BTH-1 Design Category B Service Class 3.
Specifications: The document includes a table listing various models (PNL0250, PNL0800, PNL1600, PNL2500, PNL5000, PNL6600) with their respective Working Load Limits (WLL), dimensions, and weights. The WLL is provided in both pounds and kilograms, and the dimensions include height, length, width, and thickness.
Usage Recommendations:
  • For lifting sheets over 8 feet, it is recommended to use two or more lifts on a spreader bar to prevent sheet flexing, sagging, or peel-off.
  • Thin materials may experience magnetic bleed through, potentially lifting two sheets at once.
  • Round item lifting values are based on ideal conditions, and factors such as pipe length, wall thickness, diameter, and surface condition can affect performance.
  • Consult the factory before using these magnets on round materials.
Additional Notes: The document advises that the Working Load Limit (WLL) lifting values for the PowerLift® Magnets are stated at 33% of the actual value. It also provides guidance on maximum sheet lengths due to sag characteristics and emphasizes that the item to be lifted must cover the entire length and width of the magnetic poles for proper engagement and release.

POWERLIFT® MAGNETS-1

These compact switchable Rare Earth permanent lift magnets can be used on flat or round surfaces and contain an internal release On/Off device that does not contact or damage the surface of the part being lifted. Permanent magnetic lifts eliminate the fear of dropping the load being lifted due to power failures. Picture above: A customized version of IMI's Vertical Lift Adaptor featuring two PowerLift® magnets, designed to lift ferrous metal from horizontal to vertical orientation or vise versa. Adjustable for various widths, thicknesses and shapes. Ask for Tech Sheet MG-02G for specifications. The locking system is performed by first pulling on the handle to release the lock pin, then rotating the handle to the desired position. The locking feature prevents the handle from being bumped partially “On” and avoids giving the operator a false feeling that the magnet is holding safely. Features • On/Off Rare Earth Permanent Magnet • Handle locks in both On and Off position • Lifts flat or round loads (see chart below) • Easy internal manual release does not contact the load • RFID Enabled • Heat resistant up to 180°F (82°C) • 3:1 Design Factor • ASME B30.20 BTH-1 Design Category B Service Class 3 NOTE: Working Load Limit (WLL) lifting values for the PowerLift® Magnets are stated at 33% of the actual value. We recommend when lifting sheets over 8', use 2 or more lifts on a spreader bar to prevent sheet flexing, sagging or peel-off. Thin material is susceptible to magnetic bleed through, resulting in two sheets being lifted at once. Round Item Lifting Values are based on ideal conditions. Pipe length, wall thickness, diameter and surface condition can all affect the magnet's performance. Please consult the factory before specifying these magnets for use on round materials. *These maximum sheet lengths are selected due to the sag characteristics of the specified sheet. The item to be lifted must cover the entire length and width of the magnetic poles to properly engage and release the part. CF = Consult Factory NA = Not Applicable (Magnets listed will not turn “ON” on specified material thicknesses.)
