Product catalog summary
Overview: Walker Magnetics specializes in electro-permanent magnet systems designed for steel handling. These systems are engineered to maintain their magnetic hold without continuous electrical power, ensuring safety and reliability in industrial applications.
Specifications: The electro-permanent magnets require only a brief electrical pulse to activate or deactivate. Once activated, they remain 'ON' and are unaffected by power failures or cable issues. This feature makes them ideal for handling heavy steel materials such as plates, pipes, blocks, large forgings, slabs, coils, and convector plates.
Design and Functionality: Walker's magnets are designed with a compensated magnet circuit that eliminates the need for internal moving parts. This design allows the magnets to be fully encapsulated and sealed, preventing dust or particles from causing operational issues over time.
Applications: The magnets are suitable for various industrial applications, including plate handling, cutting table loading and clearing, and bundle lifting. They are effective for handling rounds, rebar, angles, channels, flats, and tubing.
Contact Information: Walker Magnetics has multiple locations in the United States and Canada, providing contact details for customer inquiries and support.
Conclusion: Walker Magnetics offers robust and reliable magnet systems with over 100 years of experience in steel handling. Their electro-permanent magnets provide a safe and efficient solution for industrial lifting needs.

Electro-Permanent Magnets-4

ELECTRO-PERMANENT MAGNET SYSTEMS These permanent magnets only require a momentary pulse of electricity from the controller to energize or de-energize. Once energized, the magnets are “ON” and their lifting ability will not be affected by electrical power failure or cut cables. Walker’s compensated magnet circuit design allows the switching process to be performed without the use of internal moving parts. Because the magnets have no internal moving parts, they can be rigidly encapsulated and sealed so that no dust or particles can enter and create a problem over time. Electro-permanent magnets...
