into the OFF position (2). Care must be taken because the activation lever can quickly/strongly spring back
to the OFF position when working on thin materials.
Pivoting or vertical lifting of loads
The special design of the MX-750 magnetic clamp along with the rotatable load swivel allows the user to turn and
pivot the load freely. The suspended load can be turned around at 360° and pivoted at up to 90°.
1. Be sure to use a flexible soft eye to avoid jamming the Lifting Magnet into the hook of the crane. Otherwise
this leads to extremely unfavorable load conditions and the lifting capacity can no longer be assured. In
addition, this will protect the Lifting Magnet from damage and extend its lifetime by using a soft eye.
2. If the load is attached horizontally to the Lifting Magnet, the entire pull-off strength of the Lifting Magnet is
acting on the load, so you can use 100% of the lifting capacity as stated in Detailed Performance Data,
Table 1. However, if load and magnetic contact area tilt at an angle other than 0° to horizontal, the load-
bearing capacity decreases due to the new alignment of the magnetic contact area to the gravity of Earth.
As soon as the load is suspended vertically (i.e. at an angle of 90°), friction will be the only effect exerted
by the magnetic contact area which is not more than 10% to 35% of the maximum load-bearing capacity,
depending on the material being lifted.
