Permanent Lifting Magnets Vs Electromagnets?

In an electromagnet, the magnetic field is produced due to flow of electricity and magnetic field disappears after the current is turned off. Since electromagnets are extremely powerful in nature, hence they are extensively used in various industries for lifting heavy material. There is just one disadvantage of using electromagnet i.e. the magnetic field disperses if the electricity supply is cut off. This could lead to potentially dangerous situations & workplace hazards. Therefore, nowadays many industries are opting for Permanent Lifting Magnets that are permanent in nature and do not require any kind of power supply. The utilization of Permanent Lifting Magnets in various industries is increasing due to the following advantages:
  • Permanent Lifting Magnets are cost effective. Unlike the electromagnets, they do not require any kind of power supply for functioning. Hence, they help in saving a good amount of money that is spent in generating power for operating the magnet.
  • Permanent Lifting Magnets are permanent in nature and do not stop working if the power supply is halted. This greatly helps in saving time that is required in re-starting the operations after the power supply is disrupted for a short duration of time. With Permanent Lifting Magnets, there is no such problem if the electric supply gets cut off mid-operation.
  • Permanent Lifting Magnets are easier to handle and maintain as opposed to electromagnets.
  • Permanent Lifting Magnets are generally light and compact. Therefore, they occupy less amount of space in comparison to heavy electromagnets that occupy a good amount of space and are bulky.
