These energise to release electromagnets are ideal for door locking mechanisms and access control or security, fire door holding, medical devices, feeder systems for automated packaging machinery, pick and place equipment and power generation.
Please note, the listed pull strength is based on the electromagnet being in direct contact with a steel or ferrous surface that is equal in thickness to the magnet itself.

This ultra-compact 6V DC energise-to-release electromagnet provides up to 2kg of magnetic holding force without requiring continuous electrical power, making it ideal for compact automation, access control and custom engineering applications where installation space is limited.
Unlike an energise-to-hold electromagnet, this unit incorporates a permanent magnet that provides its holding force when no power is applied. When 6V DC power is supplied, the electromagnetic field counteracts the permanent magnetic field, reducing the external magnetic hold and allowing the attached ferrous component to be released.Because power is only required when the magnetic hold needs to be released, this electromagnet is particularly useful for applications where small components need to remain securely held and released on demand.
Measuring just 17mm in diameter and 20mm thick, its ultra-compact cylindrical design makes it particularly suitable for integration into small mechanisms, automated equipment, access control systems, prototypes and custom assemblies where larger electromagnets may not be practical.
An M3 threaded mounting hole on the reverse provides a convenient fixing point for secure installation. The robust iron body features a bright nickel finish for a durable, clean surface suitable for engineering and industrial environments.
Operating from 6V DC with a 6.8W power requirement, this electromagnet is designed for controlled-release applications where electrical power is applied when the magnetic hold needs to be disengaged.
Please note: A suitable 6V DC power supply is required and is not included. A thread engagement of at least 10mm is required when mounting this electromagnet. The stated 2kg pull force is achieved under optimum conditions when the electromagnet is in direct contact with a suitable steel or ferrous surface equal in thickness to the electromagnet. Actual holding performance can be affected by material type and thickness, surface condition, air gaps and the direction of the applied load.
