Electromagnets

An electromagnet works by passing current through the coil, which creates a magnetic field that generates an impressive holding force. This field becomes stronger when the magnet is used against a flat iron material of sufficient thickness – preferably the same size or larger than the holding surface of the electromagnet. The minimum required material thickness is stated in the respective data sheet for each model. These magnets offer a very high holding force when activated with current, from 120 N up to a full 5500 N. When operating without current – ​​when the coil does not generate a magnetic field – there is still a residual holding force of between 120 N and 2000 N. This makes the electromagnets particularly well suited for applications in security, access control and various types of automation. To optimize the function of the magnet, holding plates and accessories are available for the models BEM3, BEM4, BEM5 and BEM6. Regardless of the application, the right combination of coil, material and magnet ensures a reliable and powerful solution.

Electromagnets – powerful solutions for industry and automation

Electromagnets play a key role in many modern technological systems. They are used to create a strong magnetic field when an electric current is applied, making it possible to hold, lock or lift metal objects with high precision. Their flexibility and reliability make them an obvious solution in everything from industrial automation to safety devices.

High holding force for demanding applications

Our efficient electromagnets are designed to provide maximum holding force when used against a flat surface of sufficient thickness. For best performance, the handled part should have a surface area equal to or larger than the holding surface of the electromagnet. The recommended minimum material thickness is stated in each product’s datasheet.

Two holding power options:

  • Powered holding force – from 120 N to 5500 N. Ideal when the electromagnet only needs to hold under power supply.
  • Currentless holding force (permanent magnet) – from 120 N to 2000 N. Perfect when you need protection even in the event of a power outage.

Applications for electromagnets

Electromagnets are particularly popular in the following areas:

  • Access control – such as electric strikes, door magnets and access control systems.
  • Safety – where reliable locking is required even during downtime.
  • Automation projects – where fast and controlled magnetic functions are needed in machines or robotics.

Accessories for optimized function

For the BEM3, BEM4, BEM5 and BEM6 models, we offer matching holding plates and accessories. These help create optimal contact between the electromagnet and the surface, which improves holding force and increases the reliability of the system.
