A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.

How do you test the lifting strength of an electromagnet Such as how many pounds can a specific magnet lift. How to test magnet strength in the field.?

the magnetic field of a magnet is measured through Gaussmeters.


Electro magnet used for?

A electro magnet is used for lifting things by the magnetic force provided by the amount of coils and the size of the battery


Can an electromagnet lift metal at a water depth of 300 feet?

The magnet on the surface and the metal 300 ft down - no. Lowering the magnet to the metal, then lifting - yes.


What should I know before buying magnetic sweepers?

Lifting power versus lifting distance is a primary concern. Also consider the wipe off factor. Then magnet size.


How much weight can a 2 pound magnet lift?

The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on its strength and the material it is attracting. Generally, a 2-pound magnet can lift objects weighing up to 2 pounds, but this may vary depending on the surface area and magnetic strength of the magnet.


How do you use one magnet to make a second magnet?

You can magnetize a piece of steel or iron, by stroking it with one end of a magnet. Stroke in one direction only, lifting off and away between each stroke. This aligns the atoms in a regular direction, in the blank piece of steel.


What is better for lifting heavy metal objects eletromagnet or permanet magnet?

An electromagnet would generally be better for lifting heavy metal objects as its magnetic strength can be easily controlled by adjusting the electrical current. A permanent magnet may not have sufficient magnetic strength to lift heavy objects, and it does not offer the flexibility of adjusting its magnetic force.


Can magnets lift up things?

Magnets are better used in lifting hot metals. Lifting magnets are the type of magnets that are used to lift high temperature magnetic materials.


If you are given some iron fillings and a magnet describe how you would find the poles of the magnet?

If possible cover the magnet with a sheet of paper and gently sprinkle the iron filings over the sheet ot paper, they will stick in a pattern following the magnetic "lines of flux" which will get closer and closer near the poles of the magnet. Afterwards you can cleanup by lifting the sheet of paper off of the magnet and the filings will fall away. Without the paper the filings will usually become tightly stuck to the magnet, making it hard to clean.


How can an electromagnet raise the barrier?

An electromagnet can raise a barrier by generating a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. When the magnet is activated, it pulls a metal armature attached to the barrier, lifting it up against the force of gravity. The strength of the electromagnet determines its lifting capacity.


What can you do with an electromagnet that you cannot do with a permanent magnet?

You can control the strength of an electromagnet by adjusting the current flowing through it, which is not possible with a permanent magnet. Additionally, you can turn the electromagnet on and off by controlling the electric current, allowing for greater flexibility in applications such as lifting objects or generating magnetic fields.


How do you fix a stuck fuel gage on a 2000 buick regal?

Someone other than myself suggested to get a magnet (capable of lifting 50 lbs.) and run it over the gauge in the direction you wnat it to move.
