The 5V Electromagnet - 25Kg Holding Force - P40/20 is a powerful yet compact solution for your automation, robotics, and DIY applications. Designed to operate at 5V DC with a current draw of just 0.6A, this electromagnet delivers a holding force of up to 25Kg, making it suitable for secure holding, lifting, and locking tasks. Its actual pickup capacity is around 5Kg when used on flat, smooth ferromagnetic surfaces, ensuring reliable performance in practical applications. The magnet is activated simply by applying 5V power and instantly deactivates when power is cut, providing precise and controlled magnetic engagement. Compact and robust, this electromagnet is perfect for projects that demand safe, repeatable, and efficient magnetic force. Featured By RoboticsBD.

An electromagnet is simply a coil of wire. It is usually wound around an iron core. However, it could be wound around an air core, in which case it is called a solenoid. When connected to a DC voltage or current source, the electromagnet becomes energized, creating a magnetic field just like a permanent magnet. The magnetic flux density is proportional to the magnitude of the current flowing in the wire of the electromagnet.
The polarity of the electromagnet is determined by the direction of the current. The north pole of the electromagnet is determined by using your right hand. Wrap your fingers around the coil in the same direction as the current is flowing (conventional current flows from + to -). The direction your thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field so north would come out of the electromagnet in the direction of your thumb. DC electromagnets are principally used to pick up or hold objects
We supply many varieties of electromagnets with a higher power as well as lower, original dimensions, etc to satisfy your unique requirements.
