Feature Product - MAGNETS New Product Range
Retaining Magnets for Non-Wearing Fixings.
This new extensive range includes different types & designs such as flat grippers, rod type grippers, button magnets and U-type magnets.
Owing to their structure, all the magnet systems have one magnetic contact surface, with the magnetic power being focused onto the adhesive contact surface directly with iron poles. Many designs have a shielded magnet system, preventing the surrounding area from being magnetised.
Retaining magnets used as flat grippers are available with zinc plated or red varnished steel housing or with full rubber jacket. The rubber jacket makes these magnets the ideal choice for sensitive surfaces. Also, the coefficient of friction is increased, with the effect that high lateral retaining forces are achieved. Rod-type grippers with zinc-plated or red varnished steel housing can be pressed in, glued in or shrunk in. The magnet and iron poles in the GN54.1 type are arranged in sandwich fashion, delivering ultimate retaining power also for small work pieces. The button and U-type magnets are made of aluminium, nickel and cobalt, with red varnish and with split magnetic contact surface. They achieve high retaining forces, also at higher temperatures.
These magnets are available in a variety of materials:-
- Hard ferrite (HF) is a very reasonably priced material which can be used up to a maximum temperature of 200°C. The magnetic adhesion is good, but decreases with increasing temperature.
- Aluminium-nickel-cobalt (AlNiCo) is extremely hard and tough and can be machined. These magnets deliver a steady and regular magnet field even under high temperature fluctuations and can therefore be used for temperatures as high as 450°C.
- Samarium-cobalt (SmCo) has a very high magnetic retaining power, is highly temperature resistant (350°C) and is virtually nondemagnetisable.
- Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) is the material with the highest magnetic adhesion power and is virtually non-demagnetisable.
Berger's extensive range of products also includes design versions with threaded bushing, threaded pin or with bore.
To prevent demagnetisation, most of the retaining magnets are delivered with a sheet iron plate.

Indexing Plunger Tolerance
In the modification process of the bolts in our indexing plungers GN 717 and GN 417 from turned to pressed version, we need to inform you about further modifications.
The tolerance of the bolt Ø h9 has to be modified to Ø h11. The economic press operated manufacturing process does not allow a more precise tolerance of h9, as mentioned in our catalogue.
Version A (with lifting ring) is not affected from this modification, this type will still be manufactured by turning, i.e. here we can still keep the tolerance of h9. For more precise applications please remember this more precise technical feature, however on our future standards pages within the GN 717 and GN 417 series we will mention generally h11.
Surface Treatment
There will be two modifications to the surface treatment of our revolving handles DIN 98:
- Spindles - Our present catalogue shows spindle version "E" = with thread, as zinc-plated and spindle version "D" = with plain shaft, as blackend. From now on, all spindles (versions D and E) will be zinc-plated. This also applies for all available versions ST, AL and KT.
- Revolving handpiece for DIN 98-ST - Up to now, the surface of the handpiece has been turned and polished. In order to avoid rust, the surface of the revolving handpiece will be zinc-plated too, same as the spindle.
For the time being, there will be a transition period since we still have certain quantities on stock. Future production orders will use the zinc-plating surface.
Colour Change
The colours of the plastic materials used for Ball lock pin GN 113.1 will be changed. The handle RAL 9005 (black) will change to RAL 7021 (dark grey). Push button RAL 2004 (orange) will change to RAL 3000 (red).
Please note; Any colour is available as a special, please provide the RAL number.
There will be a transition period since we still have certain quantities on stock. Future production orders, starting from middle-end of September will use the new colours.
