Magnetstabgreifer D13xH18mm glatt — magnetic rod gripper with AlNiCo 500 and 12 N holding force (TECWERK)

A Magnetstabgreifer D13xH18mm glatt designed as a compact magnetic gripper for locating and holding small ferromagnetic components in elevated-temperature environments.

• AlNiCo 500 magnetic alloy core
• 12 N maximum holding force
• Smooth finish for gentle contact
• Rated for use up to 450 °C

Precise holding with a compact footprint for production use

The compact magnetic pin is built around an AlNiCo 500 magnet, which provides a stable magnetic field in a small volume and is especially suitable where consistent attraction is required over time. With a 13 mm diameter and a 18 mm overall height, the component is sized for tight assemblies and fixtures; the 12 N holding rating indicates the order of force available for locating or holding small components. The h6 fit tolerance and the additional dimension h: 7 mm are specified for accurate shaft fits and predictable positioning when integrated into jigs or carriers. This concise combination of dimensions and material makes the unit effective where space is limited but repeatability is essential.

Reliability under heat and consistent performance in batches

The magnetic gripper is specified for an operating temperature up to 450 °C, a parameter that allows the device to be deployed in processes with elevated thermal exposure without rapid demagnetisation typical of softer magnet grades. The smooth finish reduces mark risk on delicate parts and enables controlled contact, while the chosen magnet alloy maintains useful force at higher temperatures. For production planners and quality engineers, this translates into fewer process interruptions and consistent locating behaviour across repeated cycles, supporting process stability and predictable fixture performance.

Integration and mounting advantages for workshop and industrial setups

Sized for direct incorporation into fixtures, the gripper’s standardised h6 tolerance supports interchangeability and precise axial positioning when used in shafts or bores. The compact form factor and clearly defined 7 mm auxiliary dimension simplify CAD placement and mechanical design, reducing integration time. The robust construction and defined mechanical data mean the component can be specified in assembly instructions and procurement lists with confidence, enabling a transparent supply chain and smoother implementation on the shop floor.

FAQ

Is the magnetic rod gripper suitable for elevated-temperature operations?
The Magnetstabgreifer D13xH18mm glatt is specified for use up to 450 °C, which supports applications with higher thermal exposure while retaining functional magnetic performance.

What is the maximum holding force and what does it imply?
The device offers a 12 N maximum holding force; this value describes the peak attractive force under defined conditions and is intended for locating and holding small ferromagnetic parts rather than heavy load-bearing tasks.

Which material is used for the magnet and what are its benefits?
The rod contains AlNiCo 500, a high-temperature-capable magnetic alloy that provides stable magnetic performance at elevated temperatures and good long-term stability in repeated thermal cycles.

How does the fit tolerance affect integration into fixtures?
The h6 fit tolerance ensures a precise shaft fit and repeatable axial positioning when the gripper is installed in bores or holders, simplifying fixture design and interchangeability.

Can the smooth finish be used on delicate surfaces?
The smooth finish is intended to minimise marking and enable gentler contact with components; it suits applications where surface protection is a consideration.
