1. Machine description

The machine described in this manual is a manually controlled permanent magnet lifter PML(X) designed
to handle (hoisting, traversing and setting down) ferromagnetic material; (Sheet, plates and round pieces
of common ferrous material).
It exploits the properties of permanent magnets to create a magnetic field which attract ferrous materials.
To activate it use the lever which rotates the nucleus with the permanent magnets inside. This rotation
creates a magnetic flow that passes trough the handled load during the machine working phases and short
circuits inside the lifter during the release phase.
Field of use:
Machine shops, metallurgical and mechanical shops, iron metallurgical shops and in general all work
locations requiring fast, reliable handling of ferrous loads by bridge or crane. The lifter must be installed
on a lifting installation in an environment with the necessary emergency exits. The working environment
must comply with the following limits:
• minimum temperature - 10° C
• maximum temperature + 80° C
• maximum humidity 80 %
Limits of use:
The permanent magnet equipment is really a magnetic anchor system with a clip anchor hook. It can,
therefore, work as a lifter only if hung on a hook of the lifting and displacement machine. Limits of use of
the permanent magnet lifters are specified on the identification plate applied on the lifter and in the use
and maintenance manual (see performance sheet).
