5V Electromagnet (8 Kg Holding Force)

5V Electromagnet (8 Kg Holding Force)

Discontinued

This compact 5V DC sucker-type electromagnet provides 8kg of holding force at 1.5W of power. When energised, the iron core becomes magnetised; when power is removed, the magnetism dissipates quickly. The magnetic polarity can be reversed by swapping the input wires.

Key Features

  • Holding Force – 8kg
  • Rated Voltage – DC 5V
  • Rated Power – 1.5W
  • Wire Length – 28cm
  • Reversible Polarity – Swap wires to change magnetic pole orientation
  • Instant On/Off – Magnetic only when powered

Ideal For

  • DIY electromagnetic locks and latches
  • Smart storage cabinets and intelligent doors
  • Pick-and-place and sorting mechanisms
  • Robotics and automation projects

Package Contents

  • 1× 5V Electromagnet (8kg holding force)
  • 1× Mounting screw
Note: Holding force is not the same as pick-up weight. Divide by 5–10 for an approximate pick-up capacity (~0.8–1.6kg). Actual performance depends on the contact surface being flat and the object being ferromagnetic steel. The electromagnet can remain energised long-term when attracted to a surface, but should not be powered continuously with no load attached. Wire colour may vary.
Other sizes available: 3kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg, 30kg, and 35kg.
