Holding Electromagnet

Reliable Magnetic Holding Solutions for Industrial Applications

At Nextcore Electronic, we design and manufacture high-performance custom electromagnets for customers worldwide. With over 10 years of experience in electromagnetic products, we provide reliable, cost-effective, and customized solutions for industrial automation, medical devices, security equipment, robotics, vending machines, and many other applications.

Unlike traditional solenoids, which generate linear motion through a movable plunger, our electromagnets feature a fixed magnetic core designed to generate a powerful magnetic field for holding, lifting, clamping, locking, or positioning metal objects.

Whether you need a standard holding electromagnet or a completely customized magnetic assembly, our engineering team can provide the right solution.


What Is an Electromagnet?

An electromagnet is an electrically energized magnetic device that generates a magnetic field when current flows through its coil.

Unlike permanent magnets, an electromagnet can be switched ON and OFF instantly by controlling the electrical current.

This makes electromagnets ideal for applications requiring:

  • Magnetic holding
  • Object lifting
  • Metal separation
  • Position locking
  • Automated clamping
  • Industrial handling

Electromagnet vs. Solenoid

Although the terms electromagnet and solenoid are sometimes used interchangeably in different countries, they represent different products in our manufacturing system.

SolenoidElectromagnet
Movable plungerFixed magnetic core
Produces linear motionProduces magnetic attraction
Push/Pull movementHolding or lifting force
Mechanical actuationMagnetic holding

Simply put:

A solenoid converts electrical energy into linear motion.

An electromagnet converts electrical energy into magnetic holding force.
