New Practice for Pull Testing Permanent Magnet Assemblies
1. Scope
Covers the procedure(s) for conducting a pull test on a permanent magnet assembly. This practice applies to any permanent magnet assembly whose main application is to provide holding force.Keywords
Magnetic holding force; magnetic pull test; pull test; breakaway forceRationale
Mechanical holding using magnetic force is applied in many fields. There is currently no guidance about standardized ways to do a test to measure and document magnetic holding force. It is a test that involves many factors which must be considered. It will be used for documenting magnetic holding force for magnetic assemblies, in quality control applications and in R&D. Potential users are magnet manufacturers, magnet systems manufacturers, and end users of magnetic holding devices.
