The Cylinder Magnet for Magnetic Lifting Equipment is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade component designed to enable safe, efficient lifting and transportation of ferrous materials in construction, manufacturing, scrap metal processing, and logistics. Unlike flat or disc-shaped magnets, cylindrical magnets feature a long, cylindrical design (typically ranging from 20mm to 150mm in diameter and 30mm to 200mm in length) that delivers concentrated magnetic force along their axial length—making them ideal for gripping and lifting heavy, irregularly shaped metal objects. Crafted from high-grade neodymium (NdFeB) for maximum strength or samarium cobalt (SmCo) for high-temperature resistance, this magnet generates holding forces from 100kg to over 1,000kg, depending on size and material, ensuring it can handle even the heaviest loads with stability.

A key advantage of the cylindrical shape in magnetic lifting is its ability to make deep, consistent contact with ferrous materials. The long axial length of the magnet allows it to penetrate through layers of scrap metal or grip the full depth of thick steel plates, creating a secure bond that resists slippage. For example, in a scrap metal yard, a 100mm diameter, 150mm long neodymium cylinder magnet might be mounted on a crane’s lifting arm to collect and transport a pile of mixed ferrous scrap. The magnet’s cylindrical shape ensures it grips multiple pieces of scrap at once, while its strong magnetic force (up to 800kg) keeps the load secure during lifting and movement. Unlike flat magnets that may only grip the surface of the scrap, the cylinder magnet’s depth of contact prevents the load from shifting or falling, even when the crane moves quickly or turns.

In construction, this cylinder magnet is used to lift and position heavy steel components like I-beams, rebar, or metal pipes. A 120mm diameter, 200mm long samarium cobalt cylinder magnet (chosen for its resistance to the high temperatures generated by welding or cutting) can be attached to a robotic arm to lift a 500kg steel beam into place during building construction. The magnet’s cylindrical design allows it to grip the beam’s side or end, depending on the lifting requirement, and its strong force ensures the beam stays aligned during placement—critical for ensuring the structural integrity of the building. Additionally, the magnet’s smooth, polished surface prevents scratches or damage to the steel beam, maintaining the material’s quality.

Safety is a top priority in magnetic lifting, and the Cylinder Magnet for Magnetic Lifting Equipment is designed with multiple safety features. Many models include a built-in electromagnetic release mechanism that allows operators to disengage the magnet from the load remotely, even in emergency situations. This is essential for precise placement of heavy objects—like lowering a steel beam onto its supports—where accidental release could cause damage or injury. The magnet’s cylindrical shape also minimizes the risk of “side pull,” a common issue with flat magnets where the load shifts sideways during lifting. By distributing the magnetic force evenly along its length, the cylinder magnet keeps the load centered, reducing the risk of tipping.

Durability is also enhanced by specialized coatings and construction. The magnet’s surface is coated with a thick layer of nickel-copper-nickel plating or epoxy resin to resist corrosion, impact, and wear—critical for use in outdoor construction sites or scrap yards where the magnet is exposed to rain, snow, or rusty metal. The cylindrical shape also provides structural strength, making the magnet resistant to bending or cracking under heavy loads. Whether used for lifting scrap metal, steel beams, or industrial components, the Cylinder Magnet for Magnetic Lifting Equipment delivers the strength, stability, and safety needed to handle the most demanding lifting tasks.
