Special, Modified Mounting Applications of the MX-1500
The switchable Magnetic Clamp MX-1500 is of modular design and thus can be used for special requirements and
load situations. Individual mounting techniques must be designed, calculated and tested for each case depending
on requirement and application. Ultimately the design must be in accordance with the local and country-specific
standards (e.g. EN 13155, ASME). An accredited testing institute must approve individual installations accordingly
if necessary.
Details and data for mounting of the MX-1500 Magnetic Clamp:
1. Mounting on the aluminum housing (Al 7075 T651 with Rm >50.5 ksi) requires at least 4 screws at any
time.
Mounting through the aluminum housing into the hardened steel (HRC 42) magnetic bottom plate requires
at least two screws at any time.Additional fastening points into the aluminum housing should be used for
anti-rotation.
2. Be sure to use the stated torque when fastening the screws.
Depending upon application, screws should be fixed with thread locking fluid.
3. Ensure an equal load introduction and distribution to avoid mechanical failure of the Magnetic Clamp or the
mounting materials.
4. Always use sufficiently stable mounting materials.
