How to estimate the actual lifting value?

Armstrong LiftMagTM is the sign of high quality lifting magnets. However, it does not mean that any model is suitable for your application.

1Please remember the following instructions while selecting lifting magnets:

All NL-B lifting magnets can lift thick metals only. They are not good for lifting thin plate.
A single lifting magnets cannot lift a sheet metal of big size, even though the sheet is light. The big sheet should be lifted with two or more lifting magnets with a spreader bar.
NL-B lifting magnets work below 60°C.
Not work under water.

2The actual lift value are greatly effected by the thickness, surface conditions, size, Carbon composition and working temperature of the work load to be lifted.

 

 

 

We manufacture safe, durable and reliable lifting magnets.

  The surface conditions of the load"
The air gap between the load and the lifting magnet would be produces by rough , dirty, painted, and not flat surface and consequently the lifting force will be greatly decreased.
Air gap=0
100% of the rated lifting valueexample: Flat, clean and smooth surface.
Air gap=0.1mm
90% of the rated lifting value, example: Surface with a little bit dust.
Air gap=0.3mm
80% of the rated lifting value, example: Rusty surface.
Air gap=0.5mm
70% of the rated lifting value, example: Heavy rusty, or painted surface.
Air gap=0.8mm
50% of the rated lifting value, example: The surface is not very flat, or have burrs on it.

The more alloy content in the load material, the lower the holding force is.
Low Carbon Steel: 100%
Middle Carbon Steel: 85%
High Carbon Steel: 70%
Cast iron:  50%

Example
The load is a 1M x 1M x 10CM thick low Carbon flat sheet metal with dirty and rough surface. Does NL-2200B work for lifting it?
Answer: Expected rated lifting value for the metal = 1,000 kgs x 100%
The thickness of the platex 80%Surface conditions of the platex 100%Low Carbon= 800 kgs.
The plate is 780KG.
So, NL-2200B can lift the plate.
