Product OverviewHigh-force holding magnets are magnetic systems designed for the secure holding, positioning and fixing of ferromagnetic materials in industrial environments. Models such as the WL2015 are used in automation, fixtures, robotic end-effectors and material handling where compact, repeatable holding force is required.
DescriptionThe WL2015 high-force holding magnet concentrates a magnetic field using advanced magnetic materials or an electromagnetic coil. It is engineered for increased load capacity and predictable positioning. Effective holding force depends on magnetic material, contact surface area, air gap, load direction and workpiece thickness.
How it worksThe device creates a focused magnetic circuit that attracts ferromagnetic parts (steel, iron). Permanent variants deliver continuous holding without power; electromagnetic variants (WL2015) produce force when DC power is applied. Performance is influenced by material grade, contact flatness, air gap distance and magnetic circuit design.
ApplicationsTypical uses include machine fixtures, welding and positioning aids, assembly equipment, workpiece holding on CNC machines, robotic grippers, material handling, lifting assists, magnetic locks and warehouse handling systems.
Advantages / Disadvantages- Pros: High holding strength in a compact footprint; low maintenance; long cycle life; permanent versions need no supply while electromagnetic versions allow on/off control.
- Cons: Strong fields can affect sensitive electronics or magnetic media; handling requires safety precautions; permanent magnets have fixed force; electromagnets need power and correct duty management; performance can degrade with excessive temperature, corrosion or poor installation.
TroubleshootingCommon issues: reduced holding force, insecure contact, overheating or unexpected release. Inspect for air gaps, contamination, surface damage or misalignment. For electromagnets verify supply voltage, wiring, coil integrity and control signals. Check duty cycle and ventilation if overheating. Apply corrosion protection as required and conduct regular inspections.
Tips for Selection & Design- Specify required holding force with safety margins for vibrations and impact loads.
- Choose permanent vs. electromagnetic based on need for controllability and power availability.
- Minimize air gaps and ensure clean, flat contact surfaces to maximize force.
- Consider operating temperature, humidity and corrosive conditions when selecting materials and coatings.
- Design mounting and alignment to avoid eccentric loads and ensure full contact.
- Perform prototype testing under real operating conditions prior to series production.
