The compact size combined with the strong gripping force provides high versatility. Ixtur MRP magnets are maintenance-free and have a short cycle time, allowing
high production speed and efficient automation. MRP-31F and MRP-31FK magnets are designed for flat parts, and for steel and cast iron. For the thinnest plates
(t < 2 mm), the gripping capacity can be increased with pole extensions. Ixtur magnets can handle solid and perforated material and they can be used in any orientation needed, so it?s possible to handle objects with various shapes and angles.? The magnets do not change their magnetic state in
case of loss of compressed air. Magnets can be used in various applications: lifters, robot grippers, fixtures, production automation, etc.
Gripping capacity vs. material thickness and airgap
The nominal gripping capacities can be obtained with the material thicknesses stated in the technical specifications table. The magnets can be used also with
thinner materials, but the gripping capacity will be lower, as shown in the graphs on this page. The given gripping capacities are valid for mild steel (S355).
Residual gripping capacity
The residual gripping capacity, i.e. the gripping capacity when the magnet is OFF, varies based on the material and shape of the gripped part. In extreme cases, parts up to 3 kg may stay attached with MRP-31F and 0.15 kg with MRP-31FK. The residual gripping capacity is greatest as long as the part continuously stays in contact with the magnet after the magnet has been turned from ON to OFF. If the amount of residual capacity is critical to the application, pretesting with the actual part is recommended

Pneumatic Magnet MAP-180
Ixtur MAP-120R and?MAP-180?are pneumatically controlled neodymium permanent magnets, which have excellent size / gripping force ratio and extremely low residual gripping capacity. The compact size combined with high gripping force?make?them versatile for various applications including: lifters, robot grippers, fixtures, production automation, etc.
Ixtur MAP pneumatic magnets do not change their magnetic state if compressed air is lost – e.g. in case of a damaged pipe or compressor malfunction. This feature provides reliability and safety to material handling.
MAP-180 provides maximum gripping force with flat parts that fully cover the magnet?s gripping surface. MAP-120R?s gripping surface is optimized for parts that do not fully cover the whole gripping surface of the magnet, e.g. cylinders, pipes and irregularly shaped objects.
Unlike vacuum lifting solutions, Ixtur magnets handle also perforated material. The magnets consume significantly less air than vacuum grippers, because compressed air is used only to switch the magnet ON and OFF. MAP-120R is the best choice when gripping rougher surfaces, e.g. parts made of cast iron.
Ixtur MAP120R and MAP-180:
- Maintenance free
- Excellent size / gripping force ratio
- Gripping force:
- MAP-120R with flat material: 3.53 kN (WLL 120 kg with safety factor 3)
- MAP-120R with cylinders: 2.06 kN (WLL 70 kg with safety factor 3)
- MAP-180: 5.30 kN (WLL 180 kg with safety factor 3)
- Low residual gripping force, i.e. gripping force at the magnet’s OFF state
- Durable construction
- Can be installed in any orientation
- Handles also perforated material
- Can be used with a large range of material thicknesses

MRP-170 Pneumatic Magnet
Ixtur MRP-170 is a pneumatically controlled neodymium permanent magnet that is suitable for gripping parts with different shapes. The compact size combined with high gripping force?make?them versatile for various applications including: lifters, grippers, fixtures, production automation, robotic solutions, end-of-arm-tooling, etc.
MRP-170 is capable of handling both round and flat parts, which is usually problematic for magnet grippers.
Ixtur magnets do not change their magnetic state if compressed air is lost – e.g. in case of a damaged hose or compressor malfunction. This feature provides reliability and safety to material handling.
Unlike vacuum lifting solutions, Ixtur MRP-170 handles also perforated material. The magnet consumes significantly less air than vacuum grippers, because compressed air is used only to switch the magnet on and off. MRP-170 can handle solid and perforated material, flat and round parts, made of steel or cast iron alike.
Ixtur Pneumatic Magnet MRP-170:
- Maintenance free
- Good size / gripping force ratio
- Gripping force:
