Explore permanent, electromagnetic and electro-permanent magnetic chucks for grinding, milling, drilling and other metalworking applications. From standard chuck configurations to custom magnetic fixtures, find a holding approach that fits your machine and steel workpieces.
When a standard chuck cannot support your part geometry, we can review a custom working face, pole arrangement, mounting interface and locating features. The goal is a fixture that fits the actual machining setup.
A thin plate may need closely spaced poles and uniform support. A drilled block needs tool clearance and locating stops. A production fixture may also need a defined mounting pattern or electrical control interface. Each calls for a different design review.
Permanent magnetic chucks offer mechanically switched holding without continuous power. Electromagnetic chucks use energized coils for controlled magnetic attraction. Electro-permanent chucks use electrical pulses to switch magnetic states and retain holding without continuous power.
The differences matter in daily use: how a workpiece is released, whether a controller is needed, how the system responds to power loss and what the machine must accommodate. Explore each product family before deciding which operating method suits your process.
Machine tool builders, grinding shops, mold makers and production teams working with suitable ferromagnetic parts.
Compare your machining loads, workpiece contact, release frequency, machine interface and control requirements. These factors help narrow the chuck technology.
Choose an application to see which machining conditions determine the fixture layout—from grinding thin steel to maintaining drill clearance or integrating magnetic mold clamping.
For surface grinding, consistent contact, an appropriate pole pitch and a clean working face help establish the required holding conditions. Very thin or uneven parts may need additional support.
See how different workpieces change the fixture concept. These application examples focus on the contact surface, machining access and support arrangement; verified customer results can be added when available.
For large steel blocks with multiple machined faces, a magnetic fixture can leave more of the upper surface open than conventional top clamps. Contact zones, side-force restraint and tool clearance still need an application-specific design.

Interchangeable stops and reference positions may reduce rework when a fixture handles several related part sizes.
Nonstandard table patterns, working heights and controller interfaces should be addressed in the fixture drawing.
Explore five connected capabilities behind the finished fixture: application engineering, structural design, precision machining, magnetic assembly and final inspection. Select a stage for its role in the build.
The chuck body, magnetic circuit, machine mounting and operating mechanism must function as one system.
