Article number: 81401096
The Magswitch PLAY 20x4 combines the power of multiple magnets with a single actuation point. These tools are particularly suitable for handling long pipes or beams, as well as for heavy-duty applications .
For optimal performance, pole shoes can be customized. Contact our engineers for individual solutions: applications@magswitch.com .
Features & Benefits
- Customizable contact surface
- Deep Field Technology
- Ideal for handling long components
- Energy saving
- Fail-safe operation
- *Pole shoes are required. They are not included in the basic tool kit.

*The maximum pull-off force was determined in the laboratory on 2" (5.08 cm) thick SAE1018 steel with a 63-microinch surface roughness. Since numerous factors affect the actual pull-off force, the tool must be tested in each application.
SWL – Maximum Workload
SWL (Safe Working Load) = Maximum force⁵ / Safety factor (≥ 5)
(SWL is significantly lower than the breakaway force – please observe safety guidelines.)
Footnotes
- Determined under laboratory conditions on 2" SAE1018 steel with 63 microinch roughness and optimized pole shoes.
- All data refers to the tool with installed flat pole shoes (8800172) .
- Tested with two SAE1018 steel sheets 200 × 200 mm, 4 mm thick.
- Values may vary by ±5%.
- The stated maximum forces are not safe lifting forces. Magswitch recommends a safe working load (SWL) of 5:1 .
