Electromagnets

Geeplus supplies both pure steel (magnetic attraction when energized) and permanent magnet (electrical release) versions of electromagnets. We also offer an optional spring loaded ejector pin to overcome residual magnetism, as well as optional armature plates as a magnetic counterpart for optimum performance.

Most common electromagnets need to be energized to develop force. Applications include door latching and holdback devices, holding of ferromagnetic workpieces during machining or assembly, safety mechanisms, selector devices in textiles machinery and more.

Because the field sharply drops with the distance of the counterpart, the flatness of the surface and a very thin plating become important features. This is also true for the optional armature plates.

Options for Geeplus Electromagnets:

• Ejector Pin: Pre-loaded spring pin to overcome residual magnetism, reduces the holding force by about 10%
• Armature Plate (ferromagnetic, nickel plated) as magnetic counterpart to the electromagnets
• Custom Winding
• Permanent Magnet (electrical release)
