SMP brand Electromagnetic chucks generate a magnetic field when electrical current is introduced. The field is created with coils supplied by direct current (DC). These chucks are activated with a control unit which allows quick magnetizing and an easy de-magnetizing of the workpiece. Electromagnetic chuck systems can be manual, automatic or combined. The grinding electromagnetic chuck could be controlled by a corresponding controller. The high performance epoxy resin filled in poles gaps could protect the chuck surface from coolant oil or water.

Application:

·      Powerful holding over entire chuck surface.

·      Fine pole divisions – for more uniform magnetic holding of small parts.

·      Lowest height of any electromagnetic chuck – for added clearance on larger workpieces.

·      Supplied with 2 hold down clamps.

·      Magnetic field does not affect Grinding or EDM operation.

·      Recommended Controls. For best results, SMP Automatic Release Controls are recommended with all design chucks.
