What Is an (EEPM)?
An Electro-Permanent Magnetic Chuck combines the advantages of both permanent and electro-magnetic systems. It uses an electrical pulse (lasting just 1–3 seconds) to magnetize or demagnetize the chuck, but once magnetized, no continuous electrical supply is required to maintain the magnetic force. This not only enhances energy efficiency but also increases operator safety by ensuring the magnetic hold is maintained even in the event of a power failure.
Key Features of :
? Instant ON/OFF operation in 1–3 seconds
? No power needed during operation
? Stable and high clamping force
? Heat-free operation, preserving workpiece accuracy
? Compatible with CNC and automated systems

The Importance of High-Quality Magnetic Workholding and Lifting Equipment
In industrial applications, magnetic workholding systems like EEPM Chucks and lifting magnets eliminate the need for mechanical clamps, reducing deformation, setup time, and vibration during machining. They also enhance the accuracy of cuts and allow full access to all sides of the workpiece.
When choosing magnetic systems, key factors to consider include:
? Magnetic Force Stability: To prevent slippage and ensure consistent performance.
? Heat Management: Systems should operate without generating heat that affects accuracy.
? Energy Efficiency: Systems like EEPM that don’t require continuous power save energy and increase safety.
? Customization Capability: Tailored solutions optimize clamping and lifting for specific workpieces.
