Electromagnets

An electromagnet is a device that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy, depending on the work to be carried out, there are different models of electromagnets.

It is an electromagnetic device whose main characteristic is its great retention force with moderate current consumption. The main advantage that the electromagnet has over permanent magnets is the control of the power of the magnetic field, being able to control the amount of electric current.

There are different types of electromagnets with very varied properties, but at IMA we can provide professional technical advice to decide which is the most suitable electromagnet for the function.

The main characteristic of an electromagnet is to have absolute control of the magnetic force thanks to the intensity of the electric power applied. In this way, we can increase or decrease the power and make the electromagnet stronger or weaker. This advantage will help reduce consumption considerably We also have the benefit of turning on or off the magnetic field of the magnetic product when necessary.

Different types of electromagnets can be distributed by current direction and their power as:

• Circular electromagnets

• Rectangular electromagnets

• AC Vibrating electromagnets

• Solenoids
