Electromagnets for the Manufacturing Industry

Electromagnets play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry. These powerful devices harness the principles of electromagnetism to generate magnetic fields that can be used in a wide range of applications, from lifting heavy loads to controlling machinery and automating various manufacturing tasks. As an electromagnet manufacturer and an innovator in power system solutions, Stangenes Industries, Inc. is dedicated to helping modernize the manufacturing industry, one product at a time.

Applications of Electromagnets in Manufacturing

How are our electromagnets used in industrial processes? While it entirely depends on a given application, these can help manufacturers fulfill many functions that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible, including the following:

  • Magnetic lifting and handling. Our electromagnet solutions are ideal for working with heavy objects. Electromagnetic lifters can safely and efficiently lift and transport ferromagnetic materials (including heavy steel bars, plates, scrap metal, and components) without requiring close proximity.
  • Magnetic separation. Electromagnets like ours are widely used to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones. For example, the mining and recycling industries can use electromagnetic separators to extract valuable minerals during sorting.
  • Magnetic sorting and conveying. Manufacturing facilities often place magnets at strategic points along conveyor belts to move and distribute objects. We provide power systems and components that allow food processing facilities, automotive manufacturers, and logistics companies to automate material handling functions.
  • Magnetic clamping and fixturing. Industrial electromagnets from Stangenes Industries can also firmly secure workpieces such as magnetic chucks to maintain a stable grip on metal components while grinding, drilling, and cutting.
  • Electromagnetic forming and joining. The automotive, electronic, and aerospace industries can harness our electromagnetic solutions to mold, shape, and join together ferromagnetic materials without relying on heat or mechanical forces.
  • Electromagnetic actuators. In the manufacturing industry, converting electricity into mechanical energy is very useful to automate various processes. Electromagnetic systems from Stangenes Industries provide smooth, responsive action, maintaining precise control over devices like valve actuators and robotic arms.

Advantages of Using Electromagnets in Manufacturing

Countless industrial processes run more efficiently thanks to electromagnetic technology. Our industrial electromagnet power systems and components can make many heavy-duty tasks involving ferromagnetic materials much faster and safer while enabling more efficient and replicable sorting and movement functions. The latter is especially useful for improving precision controls and automating industrial manufacturing tasks, tightening quality controls for technically advanced industries that depend on tight tolerance windows.

Thanks to their non-contact operation, our industrial electromagnets also minimize equipment wear and tear. This helps reduce maintenance requirements and protects valuable materials and components used in manufacturing processes.
