Proper use
The permanent lifting magnet XBAM-L-1000 1000lb is designed to lift ferromagnetic, metallic loads and may only
be used according to its technical data and determination. Proper use includes adherence to the start-up,
operating, environment and maintenance conditions specified by the manufacturer. The user bears sole
responsibility for understanding the operating manual as well as for proper use and maintenance of the lifting
magnet.
Device description
The XBAM-L-1000 is a switchable lifting magnet with manual actuation for the lifting, transporting and lowering of
ferromagnetic materials. By pressing the lever (F) down, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet
(D) can be activated in the lower magnetic plate area (C). Thanks to the special design, a very compact magnetic
field is generated which develops excellent adhesive force, especially on thin materials (less than 10 mm). The
magnet can be deactivated by first pressing the safety tab (E) with the heel of the hand and then moving the lever
upwards.
An adjustable oil damper (G) is incorporated underneath the safety tab in order to absorb the recoil energy of the
lever, especially during use on thin materials. Additional threads for mounting (H) are located on either front side of
the magnet which, if desired, can be used as holding device. An eyelet (A) is situated on the top of the lifting
magnet for attachment to a crane. The load-bearing capacity of the lifting magnet is equivalent to 1/3 of the
maximum breakaway force of the magnet and thus is equivalent to the standard safety factor 1:3.
