Circular Series Lifting Magnets
Circular Series Magnets DEMZ
DEMZ® KEM magnet series are modern DC electric lifting magnets with a circular magnetic core designed for handling various types of scrap metal, rolled steel, and metal products. KEM magnets are the most sought-after and widely used. Thanks to their versatility, lifting magnets of this series are operated on excavators, material handlers, as well as mobile, overhead, gantry, and portal cranes. According to Customer requirements and technical specifications, we offer alternative configurations — featuring either a finned cast steel housing or a smooth welded steel housing (see https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t-MuCni_qI8).
Customer Options: Hardfacing with carbide electrodes on the outer and inner pole working surfaces to prevent premature wear; Buffer devices installed on the outer pole for unloading railcars and trucks; Special connectors, metal or heat-resistant sleeves, and armored or heat-resistant cables fitted to the power supply line for operation in severe conditions.

** Specified lifting capacity is based on testing under optimal conditions in accordance with the DIN-VDE 0580 standard; actual performance depends on specific operating conditions (shape, alloy composition, placement, operator efficiency, etc.). The allowable relative duty cycle averages 60% ED / 10 minutes.
*** The specified breakaway force complies with the DIN-VDE 0580 standard and applies to a flat, solid, thick steel plate (slab) across an air gap of 1/300 of the magnet diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The lifting capacity of an electromagnet is the maximum load weight permitted to be lifted and moved by the magnet. It typically equals 0.5 of the breakaway (tear-off) force, providing a safety factor for secure operation.
The lifting capacity depends on the magnitude of the magnetic flux in the core. The flux increases as the magnetomotive force increases and as the magnetic reluctance of the circuit decreases.
Copper coils cost twice as much as aluminum ones; copper has 1.7 times higher conductivity than aluminum; copper density is 3.3 times higher than aluminum; copper’s specific heat capacity is 3 times lower than aluminum’s; copper coils offer more repair cycles and a longer service life than aluminum.
Welded steel housings are simple and cost-effective to produce. The advantages of a cast magnetic core over a welded one include cooling fins, greater operational durability, solid structural integrity, and the complete absence of internal air gaps.
Overheating, lower density of scrap metal, switching to metal stock with larger air gaps, and malfunctions in the control cabinet (voltage converter).
Improper operation (faulty control cabinet, overheating, moisture exposure, overvoltage), coil-to-housing breakdown (ground fault), open-circuit/broken conductors, and inter-turn short circuits within the coil.
