You have received a completely assembled Maglogix
Please check the condition of all items upon receipt for any damage incurred during transport, and make sure the
delivery is complete. If you find any problems, please contact the manufacturer immediately.
1. Follow all safety instructions. Clean the workpiece in the area of attachment and the magnetic contact area
of the magnetic clamp (see Surface Quality).
2. Place the Lifting Magnet as close to the center of gravity of the workpiece as possible.
Note: Although the magnetic clamp of the Lifting Magnet is in the OFF position, it still has a slight
magnetic pre-tensioning in order to avoid inadvertent slippage or dropping of the Lifting Magnet,
and/or the workpiece. This pre-tension also allows for ease of positioning the Lifting Magnet to the
workpiece.
3. Rotate the magnetic clamp activation lever by 60° into the ON position. Always check to make sure the
lever springs into the locking notch.
4. Perform a test lift. Move the load hook to the required position with the rotatable load swivel and lift the load
by about 3/8" to check the material deformation and the magnetic holding force.
Caution: Watch for any deformation of the workpiece to the magnetic contact area when activating
the magnetic clamp and anytime during the test lift. If a small distance (air gap) forms between the
magnetic contact area and the workpiece, the magnetic clamp will not reach the stated holding
force and could detach itself. Please check for any air gap developing at the edges of the TiN-
coated magnetic contact area. This air gap can be tested by slipping a sheet of 20 lbs. (80g/m
paper into the gap. If the paper slips into the gap:
Immediately stop the lift!
The maximum dimensions of the loads to be lifted depend to a large extent on the geometry and flexural
stiffness of the workpieces. This is due to the fact that, in the case of bending, an air gap forms under
the magnetic contact area and the workpiece resulting in a significant decrease of the load-bearing
capacity. Never exceed the dimensions and/or the load-bearing capacity of the values given in
Detailed Performance Data,
5. You can try deactivating the Lifting Magnet (see Step 8), reposition and repeat Steps 4, and 5. Otherwise, if
the air gap check does not pass, DO NOT LIFT!
6. If/When the test lift passes the air gap check, move the load slowly and smoothly. Avoid any swinging or
jarring to the load throughout the entire lift. Quick, abrupt movements could cause the load to instantly
detach, so always stay clear of the hazard area.
IMPORTANT: If your lift includes Pivoting or vertical lifting of loads, please see the following
page for safe lifting procedures and calculations.
7. After the load has been set down safely and all tension removed from the rotatable load swivel, only then
deactivate the Lifting Magnet and remove from the workpiece, especially if the application might exceed the
Maximum Operating Temperature of the magnet clamp. To deactivate the magnetic clamp, first lift the
activation lever at its far end upwards to disengage the lever from its latching notch (1) and return by 60°
