Magnetic construction - Import export

Permanent magnet transporters are used where switchable lifting magnets cannot be used due to insufficient material thickness. They are suitable for thin sheets from 2 mm and are less expensive than lifting magnets, but must be separated from the workpiece under tension by means of a forcing-off device. They are suitable for use in sheet metal storage, on flame or laser cutting equipment, on shears or punching machines, and in steel and container construction. Magnetic transporters of types SH and MK are not compatible with the latest European standard for lifting magnets. We recommend their use only in protected areas.

The lateral valves are solenoid valves with two or three connections and two switch positions in the basic position closed (NC). In this type of construction, the magnetic drive is not arranged coaxially, but laterally. Additionally, this valve construction is not pressurebalanced, and the switchable pressure range is therefore significantly smaller than with valves in a coaxial design. However, the lateral design is often sufficient for applications in the lowpressure and rough vacuum range and, thanks to its simple construction, also offers a very attractive price. Lateral valves are particularly wellsuited to the packaging, glass, metal, and furniture industries as a robust and fast switching valve for lifting tools (suction cups). Since they do not require dynamic seals, they are ideally suited for rough use in a dusty environment. They are therefore also recommended for use in vacuum furnaces.
