Overview
The Industrial Magnetics Mag-Mate FX0660 Lift Magnet is a compact permanent lifting magnet designed for safely handling steel plate, flat stock, and select round materials in fabrication shops, warehouses, and industrial environments. Part of the FX Permanent Rare-Earth Lift Magnet Series, this model combines powerful lifting capacity with a lightweight, easy-to-operate design that improves efficiency when moving ferrous materials.
The magnet uses high-strength rare-earth magnetic technology and a simple mechanical On/Off system that requires only a 90° handle rotation to engage or release the magnetic field. This shorter rotation compared to traditional lifting magnets improves operator ergonomics, especially when lifting materials from tight spaces such as bins, racks, or deep troughs.
A positive lock-on/lock-off safety mechanism ensures the handle must be intentionally switched between positions, preventing partial engagement or accidental release during lifting operations. This design helps maintain consistent lifting performance and improves operator safety in material handling applications.

Category FAQs
What materials can permanent lifting magnets handle?
Permanent lift magnets are designed for ferrous materials such as steel plate, sheet metal, pipes, shafts, and billets. They will not lift non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, or stainless steel that is not magnetic.
How does the On/Off magnetic lifting mechanism work?
The handle mechanically rotates the internal magnet assembly. When turned to the On position, the magnetic field engages with the steel surface to create a secure lifting force. Turning the handle to Off redirects the magnetic field internally, releasing the load.
Why are rare-earth lifting magnets preferred?
Rare-earth magnets provide stronger magnetic force relative to size and weight. This allows lifting magnets to remain compact while still delivering high lifting capacity for industrial applications.
Can this magnet lift round materials like pipe?
Yes. While the FX0660 is optimized for lifting thick flat steel stock, it can also handle certain curved materials such as pipes, shafts, or billets when the contact area allows proper magnetic engagement.
What safety features help prevent accidental load release?
The positive lock-on and lock-off handle design requires a deliberate operator action to change positions. This prevents partial engagement or accidental switching that could cause the load to drop.

What safety features are included on the FX0660 lift magnet?
How does the FX0660 prevent accidental load release?
Answer
Created on: Mar 13, 2026, 3:02 PM by Admin
The FX0660 features a positive lock-on and lock-off handle mechanism that ensures the magnet is fully engaged or disengaged. This prevents partial activation and helps reduce the risk of accidental load release during lifting operations.

How does a permanent lift magnet work?
How does the FX0660 permanent lifting magnet engage and release loads?
Answer
Created on: Mar 13, 2026, 3:03 PM by Admin
The FX0660 uses a rare-earth permanent magnet with a mechanical on/off handle. Rotating the handle activates the magnetic field to securely grip the steel surface. Turning the handle back redirects the magnetic field internally, allowing the load to release safely.
