Remote-Control Permanent Lifting Magnet
Now available from IMI, the FXE uses almost no energy and performs in rapid cycles with the push of a button. Operators have clear visibility and need never touch the load.

The FXE line of remote-controlled lifting magnets from Industrial Magnetics, Inc. (Boyne City, MI) combines the cost-efficiency and safety of a permanent magnet for load handling with the controlled-release capability of an electromagnet. Using virtually no energy and needing no battery backup system, they’re ideal for lifting applications that require fast cycle times –– without the operator having to touch the load.
The FXEs allow the operator to pick up ferrous metal sheets or parts and safely release them with the push of a button. Pickup and release functions can be performed using the wireless remote control or direct activation from the magnet’s on-board control buttons. All labels and controls are located on top of the magnet, which gives the operator easier access and visibility, allows the magnet to fit into tight spots, and limits the risk of damage to the controls.
A built-in load sensor prevents the load from being released until it’s at rest and the fail-safe permanent magnet design securely holds the load in the event power is lost.
Nine different models with working load limits of 660 to 10,580 pounds are available for same-day shipping.
