Clamps, Hoist Rings & Magnets

Due to their high coercivity, Ferrite Magnets are suitable for a wide range of applications. These circular discs are magnetised with multipoles on one face. They can be used in Reed Switches, holding devices such as pot magnets, security systems, audio visual systems and many more. The range features two types; one is a standard disc shape and the other a ring with a 5mm counter sunk hole.

Hoist rings - Flip Flop are made of forge chrome moly steel, with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. They will pivot 180 under load. Design Factor: 6:1. Certified heat treated. Rings and bodies are magnetic particle inspected per ASTM 1444. Screws included. To meet maximum load capacities, high strength screws must be used. Never exceed maximum load rating.

Ergonomic Toggle Clamp Handle Grips provide a safe and comfortable gripping surface for vertical hold down clamps. These accessory parts act a guard and help protect against potential pinch points.

Vertical Manual Hold Clamps save valuable space without sacrificing holding capacity or clamp performance. A cushioned vinyl handle grip provides improved user comfort and all body and linkage components are zinc plated to resist corrosion.

Vertical Manual Hook & Latch Clamps operate on a horizontal plane allowing two faces to be fastened together on the same plane or at 90 degrees. These clamps have a low profile for applications having a height restriction.

Neodymium magnets available with a nickel plated coating that protects the brittle magnet material and helps avoid corrosion in miniature applications. The nickel offering comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. This range also includes a black powder coated round plug magnets, which have superior magnetic strength for their small size.

Pot Magnets for sale at Essentra Components.

We offer Neodymium Pot Magnets (N38) that are chrome pated. The magnets combine the power of a neodrymium maganet with the durability of a mild steel shell, and as such offer exceptional performance. The range is avaialble in two types. Type 1 have an M4 tapped hole in the back for mounting, and they are supplied with a removable steel hook. Type 2 have an M5 tapped hole, and are supplied without a hook. These magnets have a maximum operating temperature of up to 100C.

Ferrite (C5) Shallow Pot Magnets are also available to purchase. The small magnets are economical - the Ferrite Magnet is chrome plated to give high corrosion resistance, also making them a robust option. The magnet has a countersunk hole in the front (magnetic) face and can be easily fixed in place with an M5 Countersunk Screw. They are ideal for using in fixing applications, such as; point of sale displays, exhibitions, marketing displays, on doors and holding lights in place. Available in diameters starting from 25mm, with a 3.5kg pull up to 40mm with a 9kg pull. The maximum operating temperature is up to 180C. All mounting holes are 5.2mm with a countersink.

Also included in our extensive pot magnet offer are, Deep and Shallow Alnico 5 Pot Magnets, which feature a vibrant red colour finish. The shallow option is low profile for applications where height is limited. They have a clearance hole through and a countersink on the magnetic face, to accept a countersunk screw. Shallow magnets can be fixed on to or sunken into steel surfaces without any loss of performance. The maximum operating temperature is up to 500C. The deep option have a steel outer shell with a tapped hole in the back, and a highly magnetic front face. Ideal for incorporating into jigs and fixtures. They provide high holding forces on parts that are think and clean with a good surface finish. The maximum operating temperature is up to 220C.

Base Type Manual Push-Pull Clamps hold materials in place using a plunger mechanism to produce positive straight-line action. The low profile uses side or end clamping for use in applications with a height restriction.

Flat Tip Bonded Neoprene Spindle Assemblies provide an alternative to the spindle provided with the toggle clamp. The steel spindle is durable while the flat neoprene tip minimizes marking on fragile or polished surfaces.

Swivel Foot Spindle Assemblies are ideal for use where a large area needs clamped. Use this alternative spindle assembly when the clamping force needs to be spread over a larger area and surface area than covered by the spindle provided with the toggle clamp.

Forged one-piece alloy steel rings with minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi. Black oxide finish aids corrosion resistance. They retain the same rated load from 0 to 90 from the bolt axis. 360 swivel and 180 pivot under load. These Heavy Duty Hoist Rings meet Military specification no. MIL-STD 209 and meets ANSI/ASME B30.26. Minimum design factor: 5:1. They have been magnetic particle inspected per ASTM 1444. To meet maximum load capacities, high strength screws must be used. Never exceed maximum load rating.

Safety Engineered Hoist Rings retain the same rated load from 0 to 90 from the bolt axis. 360 swivel and 180 pivot under load. Design Factor: 5:1. The Alloy steel version have a minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi, are magnetic particle inspected per ASTM 1444 & have a black oxide finish which aids corrosion resistance. The Stainless Steel 300 versions are NDT: 100% liquid penetrant tested per MIL-STD-50032, ASTME 1417, purification process: clean and passivate per ASTM A 967, QQ-P-35 Type II. To meet maximum load capacities, high strength screws must be used. Never exceed maximum load rating.

Thrust Pads screw onto plunger tips for use in straight-line action clamps. The plunger pushes forward until the thrust pad is securely holding the work piece. These components are designed for quick action clamping with size variations and long opening and closing motions.

Manuel Plier Clamps have a pivoting jaw to allow a large depth when clamping awkward profiles. The jaw spindle can be pre-set during repetitious action to achieve the optimum clamping distance and pressure.

Horizontal Manual Hold Down Clamps have a low height design, cushioned handle grip, and zinc plated components to resist corrosion. The handle and hold down bar move in opposite directions to provide secure holding capacity.
