Variable Holding Power of Electro-Permanent Magnetic Lifters

The limitations of electromagnets and Permanent Magnet are countered by Electro-permanent magnetic lifters by combining the benefits of both.

A cost-effective and lightweight way of transporting heavy materials is Magnetic lifters in situations where another method of material handling would be expensive, dangerous, or difficult.

Two limitations of these types of lifters are the non-failsafe operation of electromagnetic lifters and the restricted lifting capacity of permanent magnetic lifters. The electro-permanent magnetic lifter have been created by lifting magnet designers To overcome these limitations, which in one module combines the benefits of both the electromagnetic and permanent magnet lifters.

Magnets Types

Three types of magnetic lifter technologies: electro-permanent magnets, electro-magnetic and permanent magnetic. Permanent, failsafe magnets are used by the permanent lifting magnets, but a variable holding power capability is not present in them, which restricts both the variety of applications and their load capacities, they are best suited for.

To generate a DC voltage in a coil embedded within the lifter module and to generate the magnetic work holding force, Electro-magnetic lifters use a controller. To vary the magnetic flux field, the DC controller's voltage can be adjusted which varies the holding force of the electromagnetic lifter in turn.

Electromagnetic lifters become very cost-effective and flexible holding devices by this feature. But to operate, electromagnetic lifters require continuous electrical power. A power failure will create a potential safety hazard, shut down the magnetic field, and de-energize the electromagnet.

Electro-permanent Lifter Operation

A hybrid of the electromagnetic and Permanent Magnet types is electro-permanent magnetic lifters. With a coil wound around a magnetic material that is embedded in the lifter module and permanent, they are constructed. The material is charged When a DC voltage is applied, which attracts the material to the lifter and takes about 1 second even after power is removed.

Until the electro-permanent magnet is turned off, the lifter will hold the load. Electro-perms are given a failsafe operation with these features.

Controlling the amount of magnetic force of the lifter is another function of the electroperm's coil. Similar to electromagnetic lifters, this feature gives it a variable holding power capability. The types of applications the electroperm is suited for is extended by this feature.

For place, light load and pick robotic operations as well as for beam lifting operations, Electroperms can be used in tandem. For maximizing end-of-arm capacity, the electroperm is modified to be lightweight for place and pick operations. With special coil configurations, they are constructed for fast switching with soft pole shoes contoured and minimum dwell times to offer the easiest access to the part.

Battery Operation

As a battery instead of a D.C. controller, Electro-permanent magnetic lifters are sometimes called battery lifters and are used to offer the power for the electroperm switching cycle. The lifter portability is given by the battery. As a complex D.C. controller is not essential, it also makes for a simpler system design. However, the battery will need periodic maintenance and charging.
