Electromagnetic Lifting Magnet
Circular lifting magnets built for heavy lifting in harsh environments — a single-piece cast shell for maximum permeability, a great weight-to-lift ratio and rugged, moisture- and shock-resistant construction.
Overview
Durable circular magnets for the toughest duties
Saideep circular lifting magnets are built to work under harsh environments with excellent durability. The shell is cast as a single piece for maximum magnet permeability, and the units are designed to run at a 50–75% duty cycle with a great weight-to-lift capacity — making them dependable handling tools for foundries, scrap yards and steel plants.
Features
Engineered for permeability and wear
Single-piece cast shell
The shell is cast as a single piece for maximum magnet permeability and lift performance.
Manganese-steel bottom plate
A manganese steel bottom plate gives high wear resistance under repeated, abrasive handling.
Copper-wound coils
Copper-wound coils with ‘Class H’ insulation deliver strong, reliable magnetic pull.
High-alloy chain & shackles
High-alloy chain assembly and shackles are rated for safe, heavy lifting.
Moisture & shock resistant
Sealed, robust construction stands up to moisture and the shocks of daily handling.
50–75% duty cycle
Designed for a 50–75% duty cycle with a great weight-to-lift ratio for continuous work.

Construction
Built around a cast single-piece shell
Every magnet starts from a shell cast as a single piece so the magnetic circuit is continuous and permeability is maximised. A manganese steel bottom plate protects the working face against wear, while copper-wound coils with ‘Class H’ insulation handle the heat of a 50–75% duty cycle.
For safe handling, the unit carries a high-alloy chain assembly and shackles, and the whole assembly is moisture- and shock-resistant for harsh foundry and scrap-yard conditions. Magnets are sized to your load and lift requirement.
Technical specifications
Circular lifting magnet range
Eight standard diameters from 710 mm to 1800 mm. Lifting capacities are given by load type, because a magnet lifts a solid billet very differently from broken scrap or turnings.
| Diameter (mm) | Approx. weight (kg) | Cold amps @ 230 V DC | Min. kW required | Approximate lifting capacity (kg) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 H.M. & pig iron | #2 broken | Steel turnings | Single billet or slab | ||||
| 710 | 435 | 12 | 3 | 230 | 90–160 | 90 | 4,000 |
| 900 | 725 | 18 | 6 | 290 | 160–230 | 140 | 6,900 |

Performance varies with the specific operating conditions, so the capacities above must be treated as a reference only — actual lift may vary. Magnets run on a 230 V DC supply at a 50–75% duty cycle. Tell us your load type and duty and we will size the magnet for your application.
