The Many Uses of Lifting Magnets for Industry
The uses of magnets are manifold. From hanging good grades on refrigerators to holding together two ends of a piece of jewelry, magnets have become an integral tool in our day-to-day lives. However, lifting magnets have a much heavier purpose, involving the ability to...
Doing Heavy Lifting? N52: The Most Powerful Neodymium Magnet
Looking for the strongest permanent magnet available? Look no further than N52! N52 refers to neodymium magnets with a grade of 52. Considering that neodymium has a grading range that caps out at 52, and higher numbers indicate stronger magnets, N52 is the most...
Testing The Breakaway Force of Steel Handling Magnets
Operators of steel handling magnets need to be aware of the ‘breakaway force’ required to separate a magnet from the workload surface. This ensures that the operator knows just how heavy a load they can lift without running into issues. But how exactly is breakaway...
Vacuum Lifting Can Protect Your Workers From Silica Dust
From accidental drops to collisions and more, there is no shortage of hazards in the industrial lifting industry. However, the hazards of the job can go further than what you can see with the naked eye. There are also hazards like inhaling silica dust on the job....
Understanding Below-The-Hook Mechanical Lifting Devices
Below-the-hook mechanical lifting devices come in many variations, each suitable for a number of applications. In each variation, a lifting device attaches to an apparatus that can pick up a load and hold it firmly in place as it moves from one place to another. While...
Industrial Uses of Magnets – Types of Cranes Used in Steel-Making
One of the more common industrial uses of magnets takes place during the steel making process. Handling scrap metal, melting it down, and pouring liquid steel are dangerous tasks that benefit greatly from industrial lifting magnets. Different types of cranes are...
