Detailed Performance Data for the MXL-440R Lifting Magnet on Round Pipes
Values shown for load capacity of the MXL-440R are based on material A36 for the maximum, vertical tractive
force with 0° deviation from the load axis and additionally under a 90° inclined load. The safety factor corresponds
to at least 3:1 in all cases.

Avoid quick and abrupt rotations of the lifting magnet especially when used on round objects
since the workpiece could disengage from the groove of the magnet and the load-bearing
capacity would suddenly be reduced.
Never exceed the dimensions and/or the load-bearing capacity of the material thickness given
In table 1 & 2.
Basic Information Concerning the Maximum Holding Force of the MX-1500R
The magnetic contact area is located on the underside of the magnet incorporating multiple magnetic poles which
generate the magnetic holding force when activated. The maximum holding force that can be achieved depends
upon different factors which are explained below:
Material
Every material reacts in different ways to the penetration of magnetic field lines. The breakaway force of the
magnetic contact area is determined by using common (low carbon) A36 steel. The given load-bearing capacity of
the magnet should be De-Rated based on Table 3. It is up to the user to determine adequate magnetic holding
force for alloys not shown in this table.
