Magnetic Rails And Pulleys

MPI’s Magnetic Rails and Pulleys are designed for easy installation into new or existing belted conveyors or other material handling equipment. Magnetic Box Rails are used to hold and position ferrous or partly ferrous parts. They are ideal for use in “can handling” conveyor systems. The rail’s strong magnetic field is completely contained within the working surface and is extremely effective in applications which require a high “reach out” magnetic field. Magnetic Box Rails are used to save floor space by elevating parts up steep inclines; vertically change the direction of moving parts quickly; control the speed of moving parts to accelerate or decelerate; stabilize and hold parts in position, or magnetically separate ferrous parts from non-ferrous materials in conveying and processing lines.

Description

How Magnetic Rails And Pulleys Work:

Magnetic Box Rails and T Type Box Rails are usually mounted in tandem with magnetic pulleys and other rails beneath a conveyor’s belt. The standard design provides quick installation to a conveyor’s framework or table. They can be custom designed and manufactured to fit your specifications.

Pulleys are typically used as transfer devices in belt conveyors. As metal nears the pulley’s magnetic field, it is attracted and held to the conveyor’s belt until it reaches the transfer point.

Options:

Rails

Rigidized face-plate
Angled infeed and discharge ends, to match pulley
Tapering magnetic fields
Curved rails for 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90° turns and inside or outside radii from 4” to 72”
Custom face-plate flanges
Custom mounting holes
Non-standard magnetic polarities
Multiple lane magnetic fields

Magnet Faces
- Flat Stainless Steel (FS): The most economical option offered and provides a durable non-magnetic stainless steel belt running surface.
- Flat Stainless Steel with Centering Track Bar (FSTB): An economical way to provide a degree of center belt tracking, without the expensive costs of crowning.
- Crowned Stainless Steel (CS): The most expensive option and offers a durable non-magnetic stainless steel-belt running surface with a belt centering crown.
- Crowned Vulcanized Rubber (CVR): This option offers both an economical way to provide a belt-centering crown design and improved belt traction.
- Crowned Vulcanized and Lagged Rubber (CVRL): This can be added to any vulcanized rubber roll where belt traction is critical. It is available in a variety of standard patterns, such as herringbone, diamond, etc.
