The MagnaHoist
Lifting Magnet (MXL-440R) is a switchable magnetic lifting magnet equipped with permanent
magnets and is designed for attachment to and lifting ferromagnetic, metallic workpieces with its rotatable and
pivotable load swivel. The MXL-440R may only be used according to its technical data and determination. Proper
use includes adherence to the start-up, operating, environment and maintenance conditions specified by the
manufacturer. The user bears sole responsibility for understanding this operating manual as well as for the proper
use and maintenance of this magnetic lifting magnet. Please contact the manufacturer if you have any questions
prior to using this device.
Device Description
™
The MagnaHoist
MXL-440R Lifting Magnet is based upon the special design of the MX-1500R magnetic clamp
(B). The MX-1500R magnetic clamp has a tightly compacted (shallow-profile) magnetic field that develops an
incredible attractive force especially on thin ferromagnetic materials of less than 10 mm. The MX-1500R magnetic
clamp is switchable (ON/OFF) by means of a 60° manual activation lever (A). When switched and locked into the
ON position, internal permanent magnets generate a powerful magnetic field into the magnetic contact area (D)
and hold a ferromagnetic, metallic workpiece with incredible force. To deactivate the magnetic clamp, first lift the
activation lever at its far end upwards to disengage the lever from its latching notch and return by 60° into the OFF
position.
Note: Care must be taken because the activation lever can quickly/strongly spring back to the OFF position
when working on thin materials.
A rotatable and pivotable load swivel (C) is situated on the top of the lifting magnet. This load swivel can be used
with a soft eye to attach the lifting magnet to the hook of a crane. The load-bearing capacity of the lifting magnet is
equivalent to 1/3 of the maximum pull-off strength of the magnet and thus complies with the standard safety
factor of 3:1. Please refer to the following Technical Data. A groove in the magnetic contact area (I) allows also for
the lifting of round pipes.
