PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

Functioning
The magnetic force generated by the permanent magnet lifters is, « activated » or « deactivated »
depending on the position of the rotor. When activated, the magnetic force creates an attraction
between the active poles of the magnet lifter and the load, holding the latter in place.
This attraction force depends on the load (contact surface with active poles and its thickness) but
also on its magnetic performance (iron content) and its surface quality (creation of an air-gap).
The EN13155:2003 European standard concerning lifting removable equipment specifies, on its
chapter for magnet lifters, the principal requirements of the 2006/42/EC Machine Directive.
Concerning mechanical performances, this standard requires a minimum lifting capability equal
to 3 times the working load limit of the magnet lifter.

Description of equipment
1. Active poles
2. Hooking ring
3. Locking device
4. Working lever
5. Signalling plate
6. Rotor axle
First use
Before using a magnet lifter, install lever (4) on rotor axle (6). There are two types of lever
assembly :
 Type 1 : screw lever (4) on the threaded hole of rotor axle (6).
Type 2 : put lever (4) on the smooth hole of rotor axle (6) and lock it with the screw

provided.
Lifting capacities* and dimensions
IMPORTANT: the working load limit specified on magnet lifter, which corresponds to the above
described conditions, must be reduced if these conditions are not respected (see following
paragraphs).
The dimensions given are approximate and subject to change without notice
