Magnetic chucks for turning
In the world of modern manufacturing, precision and efficiency are important to compete with your competitors. For manufacturers and engineers alike, their tools and equipment used can positively influence the quality and speed of production. One such tool that has revolutionized the production process is the magnetic chuck. If you’re in the business of wheel turning, bearings, rings, or flanges, understanding the benefits of magnetic chucks for turning is essential. Let us walk you through everything you need to know to enhance your machining operations!

Magnetic chucks for turning explained
Magnetic chucks for turning are innovative devices designed to hold workpieces securely without the need for traditional clamping methods. These chucks leverage electro-permanent magnets to clamp the workpiece from its base surface, providing a stable and vibration-free environment for machining. This setup allows manufacturers to achieve complete machining in a single setup, enhancing productivity, safety and precision.
Different kinds of magnetic chucks for machining
Understanding the different types of magnetic chucks and their applications is crucial for optimizing your machining processes. Let’s explore the three main types:
MAGNETIC CHUCKS FOR MILLING MACHINES
Milling machines benefit greatly from magnetic chucks designed with square pole plates arranged in a chessboard pattern. Magnetic chucks for milling machines allow for the use of both fixed and mobile pole extensions, enabling tension-free clamping. The ability to machine five sides of a workpiece in one setup is a significant advantage, reducing the need for repositioning and enhancing efficiency.
MAGNETIC CHUCKS FOR GRINDING MACHINES
For grinding and spark erosion machines, magnetic chucks for grinding machines offer precise and reliable work holding solutions. Their ability to maintain a strong magnetic hold without continuous power makes them ideal for maintaining precision and reducing the risk of sudden workpiece release. This ensures that even during power outages, the integrity of the workpiece is maintained.
MAGNETIC CHUCKS FOR LATHES
In lathe operations, magnetic chucks for lathes provide unparalleled benefits. They allow for the machining of both inner and outer diameters in a single setup, thanks to their ability to use pole extensions. This not only improves machining tolerances but also extends tool life and enhances overall productivity.
Benefits of magnetic chucks for turning
The advantages of using magnetic chucks for turning are numerous:
- High efficiency: They enable quick and effective clamping of the workpiece, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.
- Tension-free clamping: This feature eliminates the risk of workpiece deformation and ensures superior machining tolerances. Consequently, this reduces tool wear and leads to cost savings.
- Energy efficiency: Magnetic chucks require power only during magnetization and demagnetization, resulting in up to 95% energy savings compared to traditional methods. This decreased energy consumption not only red
In short, the use of magnetic chuck plates for turning offers numerous advantages, such as high efficiency, stress-free clamping, and energy savings, helping you save on time, costs, and energy.

FAQ about industrial lifting magnets
Do you offer custom dimensions and capacities for your lifting magnets?
Yes! We offer custom dimensions and capacities upon request. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Can your battery-powered electro permanent lifting magnets be used outdoors?
Our battery-powered electro permanent lifting magnets are designed to be used both indoors and outdoors.
What types of lifting magnets do you offer?
We offer two ranges of electro permanent lifting magnets –battery-powered (DC) and AC-powered. Our series include;
- HM1-Fix Beam for lifting single steel sheets ≥ 5 mm
- HM2-Telescopic Beam for lifting single steel sheets ≥ 5 mm

- etc…
What certifications do your products adhere to?
We strictly adhere to the requirements of the quality certification standard ISO 9001:2015.
Difference between electro magnets and electro permanent magnets
Electro magnets require a continuous flow of electricity to maintain their magnetic field, making them less efficient and posing safety risks. If the current fails, the magnetic field also fails, and the workpiece drops down.
Electro permanent magnets, on the other hand only need a current pulse to activate the magnetic field, making them safer, more reliable and 95% more energy efficient.
In addition, electro permanent magnets are lightweight, maintenance-free, and have a perfect balance of magnetic flux, leading to greater stability and reliability. Overall, electro permanent magnets offer a safer, more efficient option for industrial applications.
What are the unique advantages of lifting magnets?
Our lifting magnets are known for their safety, energy efficiency, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. They are used in various sectors such as steel construction, machine construction, shipbuilding, steel trade, railway and rolling material, injection molding companies and various other industries.
What is the lifting capacity of your electro permanent lifting magnets?
Our lifting magnets have a wide range of lifting capacities, depending on the series and model. Please refer to our product catalog or contact us for more information.
Can your lifting magnets be adapted for use with a forklift?
We offer an option for fork lift adaptation for handling steel plates stored outdoors. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs and requirements.
