Small Bipolar Magnets

Application

The field of bipolar magnets has a greater “reach out” compared to flat-faced electromagnets. For this reason, bipolar magnets perform better when operating through an air gap or any type of nonmagnetic material between the workpiece and the magnet.

Bipolars, due to their two extended poles, are designed to handle round parts, parts with uneven surfaces and irregularly shaped parts. Contoured, auxiliary pole shoes can be added for better contact with the workpiece.

Large Bipolar Magnets

The extended, parallel pole design creates a greater “reach out” of the magnetic field than a flat-faced electromagnet and allows both the north and south poles of the bipolar electromagnet to make contact with a workpiece that may be curved or an irregular surface.

Large Bipolar Magnets can be used to handle bundles of steel or pipe, die blocks, castings, forgings, etc. Multiple bipolars can be placed in tandem on a spreader bar to handle long sections of round bar, pipe or structural shapes.

Custom, replaceable, pole shoes are available for special handling applications.
