Goudsmit Magnetics power gripper handles heavy steel parts

Goudsmit Magnetics has introduced a magnetic power gripper. It serves as a lifting magnet for picking up or gripping heavy ferromagnetic parts, such as solid steel beams, grilles, plates, and milled parts. In addition, the compact neodymium magnet is suitable for use as a handling magnet in robotic applications or with plasma cutting machines.

The permanent magnet can be pneumatically controlled using compressed air and a 5/3 valve. The magnet retains the load even in the event of a loss of compressed air.
