Proper Use

®
The Maglogix Lifting Magnet (MX-220-L) 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 MX-220-L 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 MX-220-L Lifting Magnet is based upon the special design of the MX-750 magnetic clamp (B). The MX-750
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-750 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.
