Permatrols & Perm-Electro Hybrids
Safety of a permanent magnet, controlled on/off of an electromagnet.
OVERVIEW
The Permatrol® Lift is ideal for handling heavy, thick steel sheets, plates, castings, forms, and stampings. The Permatrol® offers the security of a permanent magnet with the on/off benefit of an electromagnet and does not require a high-maintenance, battery backup system.
IMI’s Permatrol® magnets require only a momentary flow of electric current to either activate or deactivate the holding power of the magnet. The unique magnet design requires only a momentary flow of electricity to hold or release parts and uses less energy than an electromagnet. The magnet will hold onto its load even if there is a power failure, ensuring safety without relying on a battery backup system.
The Permatrol® is available in either single or multiple magnet configurations. Individual Permatrols® with the MMC part number suffix do not need a power supply because they come equipped with a built-in rectifier and on/off control switch. Multiple magnet configurations are recommended for use with an IMI power supply. IMI power supplies can be equipped with an interface to work with a customer-supplied PLC in automated operations.
Benefits
- Reliability of a permanent magnet with the on/off capabilities of an electromagnet
- Operates without the heat build-up of an electromagnet
- Only requires electricity when cycling the magnet into the “on” or “off” position
- No battery backup required
- Won’t drop load due to power outages
- Loading/unloading burn tables, welding cells, heavy-duty press lines, and hydro-forming
operations - Moving bulky thick steel parts between workstations
