SGM-HP/-HT Series of magnetic grippers can handle ferromagnetic workpieces and feature high holding forces and excellent temperature resistance.

 

The magnetic field of an integrated permanent magnet ensures that the workpieces are gripped securely. Compressed air is used to move the magnets, which activates and deactivates the gripping.

 

Two versions are available in various sizes: The HP (High Performance) version generates high holding forces for particularly heavy workpieces. A friction ring absorbs high lateral forces while also protecting the surface of the workpiece. The HT (High Temperature) version with an optional friction ring is suitable for high-temperature applications up to 250°C, for example if you need to move hot sheet metal.

High-performance magnetic grippers were developed specifically for handling:

  • perforated plates
  • laser-cut parts
  • sheet metal with drill holes and apertures
  • other ferromagnetic workpieces
