Hello all,
I am developing robotic workstation with holding electromagnet as gripper tool. Electromagnet has holding force 45 N, Rated input power 1.4 W, 24 VDC, diameter 18mm. It was supposed to attach game pieces (application of playing checkers with a small robot). Game pieces are small cylindrical 3d printed parts, weight about 3grams, they have 2 washers inside the piece on top of each other (there are 2 washers (2mm) and then 1mm layer of print material). The problem is that electromagnet is too weak for that piece. Im thinking about boosting pieces with neodyme or ferrite magnet instead of washers (140HV). What do you think about this? That holding electromagnet is able to hold 4.5 kg under ideal circumstances but the 1mm is decreasing the force heavily. At the best, I would like to keep the electromagnet. The 1mm layer between holding face of electromagnet and counter magnetic part should remain too.
