Bipolar Electromagnets have widely spaced poles with a continuous magnetic field for the full length of the magnet face. This type of magnet has a parallel field which is advantageous to a radiosed surface. The two pole bipolar electromagnets may straddle a curved surface and maintain favorable holding strengths. These heavy duty magnets are designed to meet a wide range of manual or automated application requirements. They offer broad application potential due to their ability to deliver improved reach out power through air gaps. Bi-polars, due to their extended poles, are designed to handle round parts, parts with uneven surfaces, and odd shaped parts. Contoured, auxiliary pole shoes can be added for better contact with the workpiece.
