AWL

 

The AWL and DAWL series of lifting magnets are ideally suited for severe scrap handling duty, such as for drop balls, ingot and molds and crop ends. The heavy cast steel magnet case, alloy steel lifting chains and quick-disconnect lead assemblies ensure that these magnets remain productive over a long life.

 

Typical Applications

  • Severe Scrap Handling (e.g., drop ball, ingot and mold, crop end)

Lifting Magnet Design Form (Excel form)

 

Features

  • Aluminum wound coils as standard design

  • Copper wound coils available for hot-work applications and added lifting capacity

  • Deep field as standard design

  • Extra-deep field design (DAWL), to provide maximum gripping force

  • Heavy cast steel magnet case and alloy steel lifting chains, for maximum productive life

  • Quick-disconnect lead assemblies, to provide speed and ease-of-use

  • 230 VDC standard; special voltages available by request
