5V Electromagnet (15 Kg Height 22mm)

Note: The wire color is randomly assigned. This is a DC sucker-type electromagnet. It offers a 15kg holding force and operates at 5V with a power of 2W. You can change the magnetic poles by swapping the input power's positive and negative poles. Its compact size makes it ideal for DIY electromagnetic locks, smart storage cabinets, and intelligent doors. An electromagnet usually has a wire coil around an iron core. When current flows, it creates a magnetic field that magnetizes the iron core like a permanent magnet. The core is made of pure iron or silicon steel, which magnetizes and demagnetizes easily, so it's magnetic when powered and loses magnetism quickly when powered off. Keep in mind, the 'holding force' (15kg here) isn't the weight it can pick up. Divide the holding force by 5 - 10 for an estimate (about 5Kg max in this case). The pick-up weight depends on a flat surface, maximum surface contact, and the ferromagnetic metal content. A flat steel cube works best, while oddly-shaped or rubber/plastic-covered items won't work well. The electromagnet can handle long-term electrification when attracted to an object, but don't keep it electrified for long when there's nothing to attract. Specification: Rated Voltage - DC 5V, Rated Power - 2W, Holding Force - 15kg, Wire Length - 28cm. Shipping List: One 5V Electromagnet with 15 Kg Holding Force and 22mm Height, One Mounting Screw.

Using this 5V electromagnet is simple. First, connect it to a 5V DC power source. You can change the magnetic poles by swapping the positive and negative wires. It's great for DIY projects like making electromagnetic locks or adding to smart cabinets. When it comes to picking up things, remember the holding force isn't the actual pick-up weight. Divide the 15kg holding force by 5 - 10 to get a rough idea of what it can lift (about 5Kg max). Try to use flat, ferromagnetic objects for the best results. Don't keep it powered on for a long time when there's nothing to attract, but it can handle long-term power when attached to an object. For maintenance, just keep it clean and dry. If you notice any issues with the wire or the magnet's performance, check the connections and power source.
