Safety Rail & Safety-Fence Magnetic Clamps

Serpent & Dove - Applied Magnetics has patented a magnetic clamping system suitable for a number of safety uses - including the anchoring of temporary safety fencing. Such temporary fencing is used to protect personnel working at height or above floor openings in mineral process plants or similar situations where steel flooring is used. Development is ongoing and individual applications are being assessed on a case by case basis.

Magro-Pad Surface Clamping Magnets

These magnetic clamping blocks provide exceptional magnetic strength with surface protection and added slip resistance. Magro-Pads are rubber-encapsulated magnetic clamping devices. Totally rubber encased, these magnetic clamps feature a series of North/South neodymium (rare earth) magnet elements on a steel back bar to produce exceptional clamping strength at the working face. Rubber encasing protects clamped surfaces from damage and provides additional friction resistance to forces in a shear or slide direction. A 100 x 75 x 10 mm thick Magro-Pad provides better than 46 Kgs on 3 mm steel. Magro-Pad magnetic clamping blocks can be supplied in standard shapes and sizes with threaded holes or mounting studs or may be custom made and coloured if required. Conventional Pot Magnets can easily damage painted surfaces but Magro-Pads will not. Typical applications include antenna bases, clamping for signage, instruments, safety flags and lights - or they may be used as tool-holders.
