MAGBAT electro permanent lifting magnets consume up to 95% less energy compared to traditional electromagnets. They only need electricity for a short pulse during magnetization and demagnetization. No continuous power supply is required while lifting. This means massive energy savings, lower costs, and a safer, more sustainable way of handling heavy materials.
How electro permanent magnets work and why they are energy-efficient
Electro permanent magnets use short bursts of electricity to switch the magnetic field on or off. Once activated, powerful permanent magnets keep the load in place without consuming any power. That makes them fundamentally different from traditional electromagnets, which need constant electricity to hold a load.
Key points:
- short electrical pulses: electricity is only required during magnetization and demagnetization.
- continuous magnetic force: once active, the permanent magnets hold the load securely without power.
- no continuous power consumption: during lifting and holding, energy use drops to almost zero.
This smart design explains why MAGBAT electro permanent lifting magnets consume up to 95% less energy than conventional electromagnets.

Comparison: electromagnets vs electro permanent
feature | traditional electromagnet | electro permanent magnet |
power during holding | continuous | none |
energy consumption | high | 90–95% lower |
safety in power failure | load may drop | load stays secure |
maintenance | higher due to heat | minimal |
sustainability | high CO₂ emissions | eco-friendly |
This clear difference explains why many industries are switching to electro permanent solutions.
Where they are used
Electro permanent lifting magnets are used in steel production, shipbuilding, offshore plants, and other heavy industries. Anywhere large plates, billets, or pipes need to be lifted, the reduced energy use translates directly into savings.

Frequently asked questions
No, permanent magnets keep their strength for many years. Only extreme heat or damage can reduce their power.
A classic electromagnet can switch instantly, but it consumes power constantly and is less safe during power outages. Electro permanent magnets combine both benefits: flexibility and safety.
The initial investment may be higher, but thanks to 95% energy savings and low maintenance, the payback period is short.
Conclusion
Electro permanent lifting magnets are among the most energy-efficient solutions on the market, using up to 95% less electricity than traditional electromagnets. They cut costs, improve safety, and support sustainable production.
