APPLICATION SOLUTIONSMAGNETICS AND LIFTING TECHNOLOGYTHE STORY OF THE COVER PICTURE
Flyweight for heavy duties
Seven years ago at the Cologne hardware fair, we
presented a new, globally unique magnet system for the
first time: TML (Thin Material Lifting). These are three lettersthat represent many special properties. The most important: even with very thin-walled magnetic material, TML(from p.4) achieves massive holding forces – with exceptionally low weight of the product itself. Users employ
lifting magnets from this innovative system even from amaterial thickness of only two millimetres – for example on
construction sites, in shipyards or in metal construction.
You are the visual type: the QR code on page 9 will takeyou directly to the animated explanatory video on TML
technology!
Magnets from the TML system help our customers
including with lifting loads, positioning flat and roundsteel, welding or plasma cutting.
Success story of an idea
This has given rise to an independent programme for“lifting – positioning – problem-solving”, the diversity ofwhich you can see for yourself in the present catalogue.
One thing here makes us especially proud: we supply
certified quality “made in Germany”, which is very popular.
Application solutions for our magnetic and lifting technology make everyday working life easier for metalworkers
all over the world. ALFRA holding magnets from the TMC
range (Thin Material Clamping, from page 28) in particular
are increasingly in demand by users from a wide variety

2of industries, for example for levelling panels, in platform
construction, in fixing and clamping technology or for
lifting pipes.
One technology – many applications
What could be more obvious than further improvement of our own traditional product range withnew technology? TML magnets with the permanent
magnetic technology in the ALFRA special catalogue
for steel and metal construction can therefore also befound in use in our metal core drilling machines (frompage 16).
Yet we at ALFRA do even more for you. Above andbeyond the highest quality requirements, other values
count in the development and production of our tools:
energy awareness and safety optimisation are not
empty phrases for our dedicated employees but rather
the benchmark for completion of their tasks.
We hope you enjoy the ALFRA magnetic and lifting
technology catalogue and perfect work progress using
our products.
Yours
ALFRA GmbHWE THINK AHEAD

Certified energy awareness at ALFRA
Our products ensure smooth processes in the working
environment of our customers. We are proud of this.
However, it is not only quality that counts for us but also
how we get there. Sustainability is therefore not an empty
phrase for ALFRA; our commitment with regard to energy
awareness has been certified in accordance with the ISO
standard since 1997.

400 tonnes fewer CO2 emissions

The figures prove it: we “are not just talking about it”.
With 400 tonnes fewer CO2 emissions in four years, weare making our contribution in the fight against climatechange.

600 megawatt hours of electricity for our own needs

As a manufacturer, we determine the entire production
process in accordance with our philosophy. Specifically:
ALFRA relies on alternative energies wherever this makes
sense, for example with electricity from photovoltaics. 600
megawatt hours of energy from solar cells facilitate almost
climate-neutral production.

We feel responsible – for the satisfaction of our customers
and for environmentally friendly production. The aim: to do
our best for both every day.

TML – THE BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
In which way do ALFRA TML Magnets stand out from conventional magnets?

Material thickness

A comparison of the performance data of the TML 500
and two conventional magnets reveals how powerful the
TML 500 is, especially when used on thin materials.

11 mm 12 mm 13 mm(7/16") (15/32") (1/2")

14 mm 15 mm(9/16") (19/32")

The hatched area shows the ‚performance gain‘ of the
TML and illustrates how big the performance difference isbetween TML and conventional magnets.

The measurements were taken on thin-walled steel
S235 by means of a pull-off station certified by the TÜV(German Technical Inspection Association).
The result: Whereas competitors A and B are not able togenerate a sufficient magnetic field on thin materials, theTML achieves a load-bearing capacity of 50 kg ​(110 lbs) on
just 2 mm (1/16") and 195 kg (430 lbs) on 4 mm (5/32")
material thickness – this is unique to ALFRA.

When taking the ratio of the magnets‘ load capacity ingraph A and their dead weight into account, the hatched‚performance gain‘ shows the efficiency of TML magnets
in contrast to their competitors.

11 mm 12 mm 13 mm(7/16") (15/32") (1/2")

14 mm 15 mm(9/16") (19/32")

Conventional lifting magnets exhibit lower performancedue to their extremely high dead weight and their relatively low adhesive force. The TML, however, weighs just a
fraction of the weight of competitors A and B while achieving a considerably higher load-bearing capacity.

TML Lifting Magnets–the ideal tools to lift thin materials withthicknesses as low as 2 mm (1/16")!

The design of the TMC 70 has one main purpose: to make the magnet avaluable helper for a variety of tasks in your business. For example for
special challenges in welding. Among others, the TMC 70 is showing full
effort when it comes to fixing ferromagnetic metal sheets and panels –to ensure flawless welding seams. Furthermore the compact magnet is anassistant if you have to weld at an angle or if you have to fix particulary
filigree metal parts, which alternatively would have to be fastened withclamps.

Attachment holes on top and three sides are providing, that the TMC 70 isnearly unlimited customizable. The flat design is an advantage, too.
Due to a height of only 25 mm, the magnet is perfectly suitable for theeasy integration and attachment of accessories. Like all Alfra-magnets
the TMC 70 is characterized by the patented magnetic technology, whichis generating the magnetic field in an ideal way. The result: exceptional
holding power even on thinwalled materials.

From a material thickness of 3 mm on steel the magnet has a holding forceof 60 kg. The smart construction of the activation lever ensures that you
are able to use the TMC 70 from three sides, even in narrow angles.
The security mechanism is keeping the magnet reliably in switched-on
position. Additionally the smallest of our positioning magnets is especiallylightweight and durable because oft he aluminum case.

SERVICE AND INSPECTIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE MANU­FACTURER IN ACCORDANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

TÜV-CERTIFIED TEST STATION IN OURMAGNET PRODUCTION
Despite utmost care in production and application, magnets
are subject to constant wear
through use and external
influences. Therefore, theymust not only be maintained regularly, but also
tested at certain intervals.
In chapter 2.8 on “Operating load
handling attachments in hoisting
operations”, the trade association
rules BGR 500 stipulate that load
handling attachments must be
assessed once a year by an expert.
(More information on this topic canalso be found under point 11 in our

TML-Test@alfra.deINTERESTING FACTS ABOUT TML/TMC MAGNETSFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is the unique selling point of the Alframagnets?
Whether it is a Lifting Magnet, Positioning Magnet
or a Welding Angle-magnets made by ALFRA are
distinguishable due to their user-friendly design andprovide outstanding performance and infinite new
application possibilities. The patented magnetic
system eliminates scattering losses and the magnet
generates an extremely compact magnetic field.
A particular highlight is that the magnets are lightweight: A TML or TMC magnet easily and effortlessly
achieves a lifting force that conventional lifting
magnets can only reach with three times (if at all)the amount of dead weight. Another reason tochoose an ALFRA Lifting Magnet is that TML and TMC
magnets attain an excellent performance even on
thin material–with a minimum thickness of only 1 mm!
2. How do I know how much the magnets can lift?
A clearly arranged graphic can be found on themagnet’s label indicating its load-bearing capacity,dependent upon the material’s thickness. For detailed
information on the load-bearing capacity of TML magnets and the factors that influence it, please refer tothe operating instructions of your Lifting Magnet.
The TML 250 can for example safely lift 50 kg ​(195 lbs) of steel at a thickness of 2 mm (1/16") and
240 kg (530 lbs) of steel at a thickness of 8 mm
(5/16"). A safety factor of 3:1 is always included.
That means that, in fact, the magnet could lift 150 kg(330 lbs) of steel at a thickness of 2 mm (1/16") and
720 kg (1,590 lbs) of steel at a thickness of 8 mm
(5/16") without tearing off.
The 3:1 safety factor is required by law. Be sure towork within the safety measures of the lifting scaleand observe the performance data and safety
instructions of the operating manual.
3. What do the terms residual magnetism andpretension mean?
These terms describe a reduced magnetic field thatthe magnet generates even when it is not activated.
This pretension allows the customer to attach themagnet onto a vertical surface or even over his head
and align the magnet without it falling off.
Thus, he can move the magnet to the perfect position
for an optimum lifting process before pushing theactivation lever down.
4. What is an air gap?
The small distance that may form between themagnetic contact area and the surface of the workpiece is referred to as an air gap. It may for instanceoccur due to a deformation of the material during
the lifting process. An air gap that is too big will
result in the breakaway of the magnet from thematerial surface. Therefore the entire magnetic
contact area should rest on a plane surface of thematerial being lifted.

5. What is the advantage of the tight-fitting
activation lever of the TML 250, 400 R,
500 and 1000?
The activation lever of conventional magnets
protrudes at an angle of 90 degrees and sticks out
to the side of the magnet–in most cases by several
centimeters/inches. For this reason, the magnet
can only be attached to areas that are wide enoughfor the protruding lever.
Due to its user-oriented design, the stable activation
lever of the ALFRA TML magnets, TML 250, 400 R,
500 and 1000 rests closely against the magnet housing. As the lever of the TML magnet is parallel to thebase body of the magnet, it allows for the easy andeffortless attachment of the magnet to narrow areas
e.g. between I-beams.
6. Why is the bottom plate of ALFRA magnets
hardened and coated?
The magnetic contact area is located on theunderside of the magnet. The installed permanent
magnets generate an extremely powerful magnetic
field to ensure an optimum magnetic adhesion.
High-quality, specially hardened steel with approx.
450 HV 30 (approx. 1400N/mm2) prevents damage tothe magnetic contact area and protects it from wear
and tear. A TiN-coating by means of 2500 HV 0.05
additionally increases the durability of the magnetic contact area. For this reason, ALFRA magnets
provide a long service life. Another advantage: theregrinding of the lower plates required with conventional magnets is no longer necessary with the Alframodels of the TML and TMC series.
7. What is a magnetic shearing stroke?
The term shearing stroke describes the verticallifting of a work piece. The most common kind ofshearing stroke is the sidelong vertical lifting ofsteel sheets or thin steel beams from a stack.
Due to this, the Lifting Magnet is able to verticallylift the work piece up to 90°. In contrast to conventional magnets, the TML Lifting Magnet even allows
for the lifting of a 4 mm (5/32") thick single steel
sheet from a stack. This means that the magnet’s
attractive force will not be exerted onto the subjacent work piece. With an ALFRA TML magnet, theso-called ‘sticking together’ of two work pieces
now belongs in the past.
8. Can rust or paint reduce the magnet’s load
capacity?
Magnetic Clamps and Lifting Magnets also achieve
an excellent adhesive force even on rusty, lacquered
or powder-coated surfaces. For detailed informationon the performance of your TMC or TML magnet
please refer to the operating instructions.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT TML/TMC MAGNETSFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
9. What is the impact of extreme temperature on
TML/TMC magnets?
Even high temperatures of up to 60°C (140°F) have no
impact on the performance of our TML and TMC magnets.
At temperatures above 60°C (140°F) or in the event ofheat generation near the magnet (e.g. during welding),
the integrated high performance permanent magnets
may be damaged. For this reason the magnet should be
removed from the heat source as quickly as possible.
Low temperatures do not decrease the performance ofyour magnet either since the magnetic molecules alignsimultaneously in one direction (and thus maintain themagnetic field). Although the magnet slowly loses its
lifting power at -150°C (-238°F), the use of TML/TMC
magnets at low temperatures must be restricted due tocertain components:
Components made of aluminum or plastic for example
become brittle and may break at a temperature below-30°C (-22°F). The grease does not endure very low
temperatures and may become hard. To ensure along service life and the safety function of your ALFRA
magnet, TMC magnets may only be used up to -30°C(-22°F) maximum and TML magnets up to -10°C (14°F)
maximum.
10. Why do TML and TMC magnets have different
operating temperatures?
The Lifting Magnets TML 250, 400 R, 500 and 1000 are
equipped with a special safety tab whose proper function
may be limited at very low temperatures. The TML 500 is
additionally equipped with a special feature–a hydraulicdamper. Thanks to the integrated
variable damper the user can adjust the recoil energy
according to the desired requirements. As the oil
inside the damper loses its viscosity with decreasing
temperature, the magnet must not be used below -10°C(14°F). TML and TMC models without a safety tab andvariable damper may still operate up to -30°C (-22°F).
11. Does the magnet require examination after acertain period of time?
Lifting accessories such as our TML magnets must be
checked regularly. This includes particularly an annual
inspection of the triple safety factor. Maintenance andcare of the magnets are subject to country-specificregulations and standards. In Germany regular inspections are prescribed by sec.3, subs.3 of the German
Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV).
The examination of the triple safety factor must be
performed once a year by a competent person according
to the German Trade Association Regulation BGR 500.
The operator is responsible for the adherence to theregular inspection of the magnet. Always observe theregulations in your country. Clamping Magnets such as
the TMC 300 must not be used for the lifting or transportation of loads and thus do not require an annual
examination.

44

12. Who is allowed to perform the inspection?
According to the Trade Association Regulation 500 (chapter 2.8: sec.3.15), the employer determines the requirements that the person carrying out the inspection must
fulfill (‘competent person’).
They can be experts such as engineers, machine and crane
foremen or specially trained persons provided that they
possess adequate knowledge as well as
sufficient experience of slings and lifting accessories andare familiar with the relevant national occupational healthand safety regulations, trade association regulations andgenerally accepted rules of technology (e.g. BGR regulations, DIN- EN-standards,
DIN-standards, ISO standards). Furthermore, the examination of the triple safety factor for the Lifting Magnet
requires a special pull-off unit which is equipped withcalibrated test equipment.
We would be happy to perform the inspection of your
ALFRA lifting accessories for you at our premises.
13. Can loads also be lifted vertically?
Due to the innovative ALFRA Magnetic System, the verticallifting of loads is no longer a problem. In particular, theTML 400 R, 500 and 1000 are excellent devices to lift
components vertically. The magnet’s load swivel (alsocalled load hook) is pulled up vertically by means of aflexible soft eye, following the direction of the force action,and lies close to the level housing of the TML magnet.
14. Which forces act during a vertical lift?
There are some particularities to note in terms of the verticallifting of loads. If the load and the magnet surface tilt at anangle other than 0° to horizontal, the load-bearing capacity
decreases due to the new alignment of the magnet to thegravity of Earth. As soon as the load is suspended vertically,i.e. at an angle of 90°, friction will be the only effect exerted by
the magnet. Depending on the material being lifted this is not
more than 10 - 35% of the maximum load-bearing capacity.
Further information on the use of TML magnets
during pivoting or vertical lifting can be found in theoperation manual of your ALFRA magnet. All informationand safety instructions contained in the operation manualmust be closely observed.
15. Are the magnets only suitable for the lifting of loads?
The wide range of ALFRA magnets includes a multitudeof applications that go far beyond the lifting of loads.
For example, TML magnets are ideally suited to shearing
loads. Moreover, magnets made by ALFRA also represent
the ideal tools to facilitate your work if you want to align,
position or join ferromagnetic workpieces.
