    CHOOSING THE CORRECT MAGNET

    The lift magnets' holding value can decrease, and in some cases increase. To make sure the correct lift magnet is selected for the application, we first need to determine the type of ferrous material being lifted and the condition of its surface:

    Formula
    Code
    		Steel Type
    		Magnet
    Lift Value
    		Formula
    Code 
    		 Finish Magnet
    Lift Value
    M1  Low Carbon 100% F1  Ground Surface 125%
    M2  Moderate Carbon 85% F2  Rough Machined  100%
    M3  High Carbon  75% F3  Foundry Finish  90%
    M4  Cast Iron 70% F4  Rough Cast  65%
    The Material's Thickness, surface Finish, and any air Gap caused by dirt, paint finish, oil, water, slag, etc. are very critical factors when choosing the correct lift magnet. (Call us if you need more information regarding air Gap).

    Example:
    Lets say you have decided that a F-660 is the right magnet for your application.  For flat steel, the rated lifting power is 660 Lbs. Your material is a 500 Lb. block of cast iron with a clean rough cast finish.
    The formula for calculating the magnets lifting capacity is:
    T x F x M x G x Capacity

    T = Thickness
    F = Surface Finish
    M = Material
    G = Air Gap
    C = Capacity
    Apply Formula For Magnet Model F-660 Application
    Cast Iron Lift: T = 500mm, F = F4, M = M4 Hardened, G = 0.0mm and C = 660
    Using the above table and formula, we can determine this magnets' lifting capacity for cast iron block:
    100% x 65% x 70% x 100% x 660 = 300.3 Lbs.

    With a lifting capacity of 300 lbs. for this application, the formula indicates the magnet chosen is wrong and will not safely lift the iron block weighing 500 lbs. 

    The right magnet for this lift application is the F-1100
    100% x 65% x 70% x 100% x 1100 = 500.5 Lbs.

      

    Note:  The same formula applies to round steel shapes (pipe, tube, bar etc.) but your result needs to be reduced in value by 50%. If the application above was a cast iron bar, the bar would need to weigh equal to or less than 250 lbs. for the F-1100 magnet to safely lift the material.

    If you need help with choosing a magnet for your application please call 1-800-856-0000 or 1-281-616-8786 to speak with an application specialist.  We will make sure you choose the right magnet.

    Lift Magnet Holding Values On Solid Bars Are Determined By Diameter And Length
    We highly recommend the V-Series Magnets for lifting bars, pipes and tubes.  Use this chart only when purchasing all other series magnets for lifting rounds.
    Holding value is for low carbon steel with smooth surface (no air gap).

    Holding Value Tables Based On Steel Thickness, Diameter And Shape

    Note: All Lift Values Are For Low Carbon Rough Machined Steel With No Air-Gap. (Air, Protective Coating, Paint, Galvanizing, Oil, Rust, Dirt, etc. Between Lift Magnet And Steel). These Standard Tables Below Should Only Be Used As A Guide To Show How Each Magnet Performs On Different Types Of Applications. Estimated De-Rated Holding Values Consider Shape And Thickness Only. 
    We recommend the I-Series or M-Series line of lift magnets when lifting thin sheets (0.196" - 3/8") since the design is better suited for this Application.  See yellow highlighted flat steel holding values for the I-Series magnet.
    Lift Magnet Holding Values On Flat Steel Are Determined By Steel Thickness, Size (s.f.) And Length
    Weight Of Squares and Rectangles = 0.284 X Thickness X Width X Length
    Weight Of Circles = 0.892 X Thickness X (D/2) Squared
    Weight Of Rings = 0.223 X Thickness X (O.D. Squared - I.D. Squared)
