Adafruit 5V Electromagnet - 25 Kg Holding Force

The electromagnet offers a unique way to control ferromagnetic objects with precision. This device quickly transforms into a magnet when powered and reverts to metal when switched off, utilizing a solenoid and soft iron core for efficient functionality.

Benefits and Usage:

• Operates on 4-6VDC for flexible power sourcing.
• Easily integrates with motor or solenoid drivers with kick-back protection.
• Our Crickit boards provide seamless compatibility for enhanced use.

Specifications:

• Holding force: Up to 25 Kg (55 lb), but actual pick-up capacity is roughly 5 Kg (10 lb), depending on metal surface and shape.
• Optimal for flat steel surfaces with maximum ferromagnetic content.

This electromagnet is ideal for applications where controllable magnetism is key. Its effectiveness varies with surface conditions; flat steel provides the best results while irregular shapes or non-metal coatings can reduce efficacy.
