Maximum operating temperature
The high-power permanent magnets installed in the Magnetic Clamp will maintain their load-bearing capacity up to
a maximum operating temperature of 176°F (80°C). Exceeding this maximum operational temperature may cause
irreversible damage.
Detailed Performance Data for the MX-1500 Magnetic Clamp
Values shown for the performance of the MX-1500 Magnetic Clamp are based on material A36 for the maximum,
vertical tractive force with 0° deviation from the load axis and additionally under a 90° inclined load in accordance
with EN13155. These values do not include any safety factor. The Magnetic Clamp will detach itself abruptly when
the load exceeds values given in Table 2.
