Transport, securing, and lifting of ferromagnetic objects
Magnetic lifters and end-of-arm tooling enable the manual or automatic retrieval of steel objects. All types are operated either manually, pneumatically, or electrically.
Whether you need to lift heavy items, manually pick up objects, or work with end effectors, Goudsmit magnetic systems provide optimal safety.
- Used for robots, lifting equipment, or manual operation
- Operated manually, pneumatically, or electrically
- Lifting capacity: Up to 15,000 kg
- Equipped with permanent or electromagnetic features
- Suitable for lifting and handling objects of all shapes and sizes.
End Effectors
End effectors are suitable for the automated pick-up, placement, or positioning of iron, steel, or other ferromagnetic objects with limited weight. The magnets can be turned on and off, and they feature a mounting surface with threaded holes for attachment to a robot.
Magnetic Grippers
Magnetic grippers (also known as robot grippers or end effector grippers) automatically pick up flat steel objects or plates with a thickness of up to 10 mm. They are quick and easy to activate and deactivate, specifically designed for moving, placing, or positioning using a robot arm. They are used as end-of-arm tooling for handling plates, including perforated plates.
- For handling plates with a thickness of up to 10 mm
- Connection: pneumatic
- For robot end-of-arm tooling
- Lifting capacity: up to 45 kg
- Permanent magnet

MagVacu® Combi Grippers
MagVacu magnet/vacuum grippers have been developed with a focus on combining vacuum with magnetic force. With this pneumatically operated gripper, it is possible to pick up both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic flat objects – such as stainless steel or aluminum plates. They are used as end-of-arm tooling and have a lifting capacity of up to 40 kg.
- Also suitable for non-ferromagnetic plates
- Connection: pneumatic
- For robot end-of-arm tooling
- Lifting capacity: up to 40 kg
- Permanent magnet + vacuum power

Magswitch Grippers
Pneumatic Magswitch end effector magnets are suitable for robot end-of-arm tooling applications. They can lift thick steel objects (flat or round).
- For flat and round objects > 10 mm thick
- Connection: pneumatic
- For robot end-of-arm tooling
- Lifting capacity up to 600 kg
- Permanent magnet

Electromagnetic Rod Magnet
Electromagnetic rod magnets are particularly suitable for quick and secure retrieval, attachment, or unloading of small steel objects such as plates, tubes, or scraps.
- For handling smaller objects
- Connection: electric
- For robot end-of-arm tooling
- Lifting capacity up to 500 kg
- Electromagnet

Electro Holding Magnets
Electro holding magnets (electromagnetic grippers) are used for the retrieval, positioning, and securing of steel objects. Their round shape and threaded hole at the bottom of the magnet make them ideal for integration into existing systems.
- For picking up, positioning, or securing objects
- Connection: electric
- Easy to install
- Lifting capacity: up to 170 kg

Lifting & Hoisting Magnets
Lifting magnets are used for moving and positioning steel objects of various shapes and lengths without damaging them. They save valuable storage space and time, and they are a safe alternative to harnesses, chains, or clamps.
Permanent Lifting Magnet (Manually Operated)
With these manually operated Magswitch permanent lifting magnets, it is possible to handle both flat and round objects. They are compact, require minimal maintenance, are reliable, and do not require a power connection. They are ideal for lifting steel loads, machine parts, or items in places without power.
- Suitable for lifting flat/round objects >10 mm thick
- Connection: manual
- For lifting using tools or cranes
- Lifting capacity: up to 1000 kg
- Permanent magnet

Permanent Lifting Magnet (Electrically Operated)
Electric lifting magnets are suitable for lifting flat or round objects. They are ideal for moving steel to hard-to-reach areas where manually operated lifting magnets are difficult to switch on and off, or where using manually operated lifting magnets is not safe. The advantage is that power loss does not result in the loss of the object, and they have low power consumption.
- Suitable for lifting flat/round objects >6 mm thick
- Connection: electric
- For lifting using tools or cranes
- Lifting capacity: up to 500 kg
- Permanent magnet

Handheld Lifting Magnets
These handheld lifting magnets are suitable for lifting small steel objects with limited weight. The magnets allow you to avoid touching hot, sharp, or dirty steel, and they are ideal for repetitive pick-and-place tasks.
Magswitch Handheld Magnet (Electrically Operated)
Electrically operated handheld Magswitch magnets (cordless) can pick up flat and round steel objects weighing up to 35 kg. The magnet is lightweight, compact, and safe to use. It’s easy to carry anywhere and can be turned on and off using a button.
- For flat and round objects
- Connection: electric
- For handheld retrieval
- Lifting capacity: up to 35 kg
- Power source: batteries

Magswitch Handheld Magnet (Manually Operated)
This manually operated handheld Magswitch lifting magnet is suitable for lifting both flat and round steel objects weighing up to 32 kg. The magnet can be easily turned on and off by twisting a knob.
- For flat and round objects
- Connection: manual
- For handheld retrieval
- Lifting capacity: up to 32 kg
For more information, visit www.goudsmitmagnets.com.
Lifting Magnet (Extended)
With this lifting magnet, it’s possible to lift flat steel objects without needing to bend down. The magnet can be easily turned on and off by twisting the handle.
- For lifting flat objects
- Connection: manual
- For handheld retrieval
- With extension
- Lifting capacity: up to 45 kg
