Design for Industry Compact electromagnets meet holding force and duty cycle requirements

Electromagnets are used in various medical testing, monitoring, and point-of-care devices. And like every industry, medical OEMs continuously seek smaller, more e cient components that spare cost and space.

Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS) recently released the E-05-125 Series of Tubular Low-Profile Electromagnets for various applications. This compact series measures 1.25 in. in diameter and 0.50 in. in length and features 18 di erent windings based on the application duty cycle and holding force requirements. They can supply 12 to 40 lbs. of holding force, and duty cycles can range from 100% (continuously on) to 10%.

The new electromagnets are low-cost and immediately available o -the-shelf in sample quantities. Larger OEM quantities for just-in-time deliveries can be shipped within four weeks.

This series is ideal for use in medical equipment, relays, valves, games, o ce equipment, door controls (hold open, hold close), lifting gantries, material handling, sensors and detectors, magnetic locks and switches, magnetic separation, toys, games, security systems, fuel injectors, research equipment, and fail-safe brakes.

All MSS electromagnets use materials that quickly lose residual magnetism when the current is removed. For easy integration into new and existing applications, the E-05-125 Series have a centered 6-32 UNC-2B threaded hole in the backside.

For applications that need a more compact electromagnet or an electromagnet with greater holding force or duty cycle, customers can contact MSS for help. DW
