Oval Series Lifting Magnets
Oval Series Magnets DEMZ
DEMZ® OEM magnet series are modern DC electric lifting magnets featuring an oval-shaped magnetic core. Magnets of this series are used for unloading railway cars carrying various types of scrap metal and pig iron ingots. OEM magnets feature a smooth steel welded housing design. The design of this series enables increased productivity during railcar unloading, complete coverage of the car’s floor area, and protection of the side walls from damage, with horizontal dimensions matching the internal body dimensions of four-axle gondola cars model 12-… (width 2900–2970 mm, length 12,200–12,800 mm).
Customer Options: To prevent premature wear of the outer and inner pole working surfaces, we perform hardfacing with carbide electrodes; for unloading railcars and trucks, buffer devices can be installed on the outer pole; and for operating the magnet under severe conditions, we fit the power supply line with special connectors, metal or heat-resistant sleeves, and armored or heat-resistant cables.

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.
