With the rapid development of construction industrialization in developing countries, more and more PC factories began to use shuttering magnet box to fix sideform, but many factories also complain, there will be obvious demagnetization after a period of time using the shuttering magnet box. Since the holding force is not enough, magnet can not fix the formwork tightly, the quality of precast concrete panel can not be guaranteed in this way, so that many customers start to doubt the application effect of shuttering magnet box. At the same time, the shuttering magnet box wastage is also serious, many customers think it’s not advantageous to the traditional bolted fixing and labor cost, this seriously affected the application prospect of shuttering magnet box. Based on our visit to and feedback from many factories, combined with our professional knowledge of magnetic materials and magnetic assemblies, we did some analysis on the reason of shuttering magnet box’s demagnetization after usage, meanwhile in order to improve the shuttering magnet box quality , avoid holding force attenuation, we introduce our new production technique, and provide shuttering magnet box maintenance manual advice for reference.
1.Working Temperature
Usually Shuttering Magnet box is made of sintered ndfeb magnet material, which is widely used in many industry fields, from the common magnetic component, to the permanent magnet motor, voice coil motor, sound horn,mobile phone vibration motor, etc.
According to the different application, it's possible to select the different magnet performance grades. Please refer to below character of NdFeB magnet material.
As the picture show, maximum working temperature of sintered ndfeb magnet material can reach 230 degrees, minimum grade material’s maximum working temperature is 80 degrees, so, we usually use N or M grade material to make magnet box, if the production and maintenance temperature is lower than 80 degrees, there will be no any effect for magnet box holding force, If we need magnet box work at 80 degrees or above, we should use higher grade ndfeb materials.
2.Shuttering Magnet box bottom surface not smooth,can’t fixed the formwork tightly.
Shuttering Magnet holding force usually depends on the distance of the magnet pole,the farther away,the holding force is weaker. When the magnet box work, the suction side at the bottom of the magnet box is tightly attached to the steel platform. But when there are sundries (such as concrete, grease, film) at the bottom, the shuttering magnet box is not closely attached to the platform, and the holding force will be significantly reduced. As a prove, we tested our SX-1000 shuttering magnet box to study the relationship of holding force and the gap between magnet box bottom and the platform . We put 0 ~ 10 pieces A4 paper (thickness 0.09 mm) between the bottom of the magnet box and the platform and then test the holding force with different gap. The test data is as below:
As the picture show, the gap between the bottom of the magnet box and the platform will significantly influence the holding force, so we recommend customer to maintain the magnet box according to the following methods: Before use it, we should confirm the magnet box bottom and platform is clean and flat. If the bottom have sundries, we can use stainless steel scraper to clean (iron scraper will be attached to magnet, it can't clean up), if it is not easy to clean up material such as hard concrete, we can use polisher to clean. Like the below picture shows: firstly Install polishing brush on the polisher, and then polish the magnet box bottom to make it clean and flat.
Meanwhile,because of the magnetic block structure, if we can’t control the production process strictly, it may also cause magnetic surface not smoothed, because the magnetic block is connected by the magnet and iron bar through the bolts, like the following figure.
If the screw hole size and position can’t be controlled strictly, it will cause whole surface uneven after iron bar assembled, it needs to be smoothed by grinder.when magnetic block work,the screw which is longitudinal through the middle of the iron bar pull the whole magnetic block,if the hole size tolerance is larger, there is gap with the screw which transverse through the iron bar, can cause the misplace between each bar, resulting in the whole magnetic surface uneven, will dramatically effect the magnetic block holding force.
3.The magnetic block inside magnet is damaged The physical properties of sintered ndfeb materials are hard and brittle, fragile and easy to corrode, so the magnet can't be struck, the coating on the surface should not be destroyed.If the magnet in the magnetic block is broken or damaged, the holding force of the magnetic block will decrease. So when we assemble the magnetic block,the magnets plane should be under the iron bar plane, this can effectively avoid the collision, also the magnet needs protective layer itself, can prevent damage and corrosion. In order to protect the magnet, we have two methods: one is pouring the epoxy layer between the magnet and the iron bar.the other is to cover the stainless steel ring directly to the magnet.
Above we share the experience and suggestions of the shuttering magnet box production process and maintenance measures, hope to extend the magnet box service life, possible to improve efficiency,reduce production cost.
We also welcome you make more valuable comments on this product from the user's perspective, hope more and more factories use the magnetic fixtures.
