Maximum operating temperature
The high-power permanent magnets installed in the Magnetic Clamp will maintain their load-bearing capacity up to
a maximum operating temperature of 176°F (80°C). Exceeding this maximum operational temperature may cause
irreversible damage.
Detailed Performance Data for the MX-750-VA Variable Angle Clamp
Values shown for the performance of the MX-750 Variable Angle Clamp 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 in
accordance with EN13155. These values do not include any safety factor. The magnetic clamp will detach itself
abruptly when the load exceeds values given in Table 2.
