Magnetic clamps
Magswitch is a global leader in advanced magnetic holder technology, which involves the use of two diametrically polarized magnets rotating on the top of the other. By rotating the lever 180 degrees, the magnetic fields of both magnets create very strong magnetic field. By reversing the lever 180 degrees, the magnetic field is neutralized, and the magnet detaches from the material it was attached to. Thanks to this technology, Magswitch holders combine light weight with tremendous holding power.
Advantages of Magswitch Magnetic Holders
An extremely important advantage is the cleanliness of the holders, as iron filings can be easily removed by rotating the lever to the OFF position and using a glove to clean the holder's surface. These advantages have allowed the holders to solve difficult problems, increase efficiency, and reduce production costs.
What are Magnetic Holders Used for?
One of the areas where Magswitch magnetic holders are used is welding and metal fabrication. Magnetic holders have been used primarily for small and light parts. However, problems arose when heavier elements were involved. Magswitch technology has completely transformed this situation.
Applications of Magswitch Tools in Welding:
- Rapidly leveling surfaces when joining parts with Magswitch Magpress
- Easy angle setting with Magswitch Pivot Angle 200
- Using holders as magnetic grounding masses for 300A, 600A, and 800A
- Safe and quick moving elements, e.g., sheet metal after plasma cutting, with the Hand Lifter 60 CE or manual Magswitch Handlifter 60M
- Instant positioning of angle brackets using Mag Square 150 and Mag Square 600
- Use of holders for hanging using the Mag-Utility Hook series
- Replacing a vice with the very strong Magswitch Magvise 1000 holder
