    Achieving Different Hold Forces Using Lifting Magnets

    Lifting magnets will achieve different hold forces depending on the thickness of the steel it is in contact with. Some magnets are geared towards lifting thin material (Active shunting) and some thicker material (Passive Shunting). Let’s look at how the two compare at the midrange thicknesses we commonly handle in Australia: The active shunting Magnets are…

    Understanding The Hold Force Of Lifting Magnets

    Passive shunting Magnets achieve their full hold force between 30mm – 80mm thick while most Active Shunting Magnets are achieving their full hold force between 9mm and 20mm. This is the range of thicknesses that are most commonly handled. What that means is that at some thicknesses of an enormous Passive Shunting Magnet has less…
