The parts of a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet are fairly similar across all units. The parts include metal plates, riveted holes and obviously magnets. Read our full guide to the parts of a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet and learn about the function of each part. |

Metal plates on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
The two metal plates on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet hold the magnets together. The added ridge around the edge of the plates help the weld clamp magnet to grip pieces of material. It does this by allowing the magnets to be closer to the material, which therefore enhances its grip. | |||
Magnet on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
Fixed multi angle weld clamp magnets are made up of four rare earth disc magnets which are then held together by the metal plates. | |||
Riveted holes on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
The riveted holes are used for linking multiple fixed multi angle weld clamp magnets together for extra strength. | |||
 |
This works by screwing the two weld clamp magnets together by linking their riveted holes. | |||
Handling hole on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
Some fixed multi angle weld clamp magnets have an added hole in the centre of the magnet to help with handling. It makes the magnet easier to lift and pry of the surface of a piece of material by giving the user somewhere to grip onto to. | |||
On and off switch on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
The on/off switch allows the user to control the direction of the disc magnet’s magnetic path. When the weld clamp magnet is turned off, the magnets rotate away from their casing which stops their magnetic path, this makes the magnet unable to hold material.When the magnet is turned back on, the disc magnets turn back into position which allows the surfaces to be magnetised again. | |||
Corner relief on a fixed multi angle weld clamp magnet |
||||
 |
A corner relief can only be found on corner weld clamp magnets, and provides an extra gap for tall lips of sheet steel that extend outside of the right angle e.g. the lid of a metal box. | |||
