Bantam Magnets and Magna-Bars

Eriez Bar Magnets, available in a variety of sizes, can be used in a range of metalworking applications. These powerful units are reliable, easy to install and competitively priced, according to the company.

Two standard style bar magnets are available: Bantam Magnets and Magna-Bars. Eriez engineering staff is available to assist in designing magnets to fit customers' exact specifications. Bantam Magnets effectively remove ferrous contamination present in small amounts in shallow flows of powders, granules, fibers and liquids. They feature a high gradient, concentrated magnetic field within ½" (13mm) of the magnet face. Special units are available for applications at temperatures greater than 200°F (93 degrees C).

In automation processes, compact Bantam Magnets are used as holding magnets or retaining and controlling magnets. The complete enclosure of the magnetic element prevents loss of magnetic strength from contact with surrounding equipment which would occur with the use of unprotected magnetic castings.

Magna Bars serve as magnetic fanners for fanning small, light gauge stampings. They can also be used to hold and control parts in magnetic handling and conveying applications or as holding magnets in rack and other overhead conveying systems.

For magnetic separation, Magna-Bars, mounted above or beneath materials, perform well for removal of fine iron and small tramp iron from shallow flows of slow-moving non-sticky powders, granules, fibers, liquids and more.
