Product Line: Magnetic Clamps

Jump to Products

Magnetic clamps hold the mold to the injection molding machine platen with strong permanent magnets, replacing bolts and hydraulic or air clamps. Pascal mag clamps clamp or release in 0.5 to 4.5 seconds at the push of a button, draw power only while switching on or off, and don't require molds to be standardized in size. Benefits include faster mold changes, full use of the platen area, and built-in detection if the mold shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast do magnetic mold clamps clamp a mold?

Pascal mag clamps clamp at the push of a button in 0.5 to 4.5 seconds.

Do magnetic clamps use power while the mold is clamped?

No. They use energy only while switching on or off, and generate no heat while the mold is clamped.

Do molds have to be standardized to use a magnetic clamp?

No. Pascal mag clamps don't require standardized mold sizes; only a spacer is added where needed.

What happens if the mold shifts on a magnetic clamp?

Pascal's displacement detection system detects if the mold shifts or lifts.

Should I choose the Pascal Circle Core or Square Core mag clamp?

Start with mold temperature: the Circle Core is rated to 120°C, and the Square Core (MGA) to 150°C or 180°C depending on the version. The Circle Core's Slim MFA suits molds that fit inside the tie bars and its Standard MRA suits laterally wide molds; the Square Core, with 35 mm or 50 mm plates, is well suited to vertical and multi-color machines.

What size injection molding machines use magnetic clamps?

Pascal shows mag clamp installations on machines from a 750 kN vertical rotary machine up to 30,000 kN.
