HQMAG 4500FS

The HQMAG 4500FS electromagnet is part of our line of stainless steel IP67 electromagnets. This range offers products with an AISI 304 stainless steel finish (AISI 316 optional) for applications in harsh environments. Each housing is sealed to ensure total watertightness. These are HQ MAG (High Quality Magnets) electromagnets of which the advantage, for the same size, is that each of them is at least 50% better than those offered by the competition. The STAINLESS STEEL electromagnets can be installed on all types of doors and gates both inside and outside if the use of the premises requires it (public swimming pool, dairy, etc.).

All our electromagnets are checked in our factory at the end of the manufacturing process. Moreover, the holding force of the HQMAG 4500FS has been tested by independent European laboratories. The results speak for themselves and are indisputable: In the 2000N category, the HQMAG 4500FS is the best “grade 3” product on the market. Don’t hesitate to ask us for test results and don’t forget to do the same with other big players on the market!

Like all our electromagnets, the HQMAG 4500FS complies with the requirements of EN 13637 chapter 7, the voluntary European standard on managing the systems for emergency exits. This norm requires that all the actual performances of the components of the locking parts of the system appear on a standardised label. This label is applied to all of our electromagnets.

All our STAINLESS STEEL electromagnets are MASSIVE: The resin is poured directly into a stainless steel housing. This makes our electromagnets not only more aesthetically pleasing but also more compact compared to similar products offered in aluminium housings.

The HQMAG electromagnets have been designed with specific, exceptionally high quality materials according to our unique know-how, and have never been defective for 35 years and counting. This dual requirement allows HQMAG to offer the only electromagnets intrinsically without remanence. Therefore, at HQMAG, no mechanical repeller, or electric repeller (Kick-off), with reliability that is uncertain over time is added. On standard electromagnets, these repellers are designed to prevent the electromagnet from “sticking” to its armature plate due to the unwanted retention of the magnetic field when access is to be released. Taking the risk of remanence (electromagnet with repeller) means accepting the possibility of catastrophic consequences in the event of an emergency evacuation. This is why electromagnets must, naturally, be without magnetic remanence!

HQMAG electromagnets benefit from certified corrosion-proof treatment and unmatched quality. They have passed the salt spray test (ISO 9227, ASTM B 117-90). Following this test, HQMAG electromagnets keep all their attributes and lose no more than 10%, on average, of their efficiency (compared to up to 70% for some of our competitors). These results prove the HQMAG products are resistant over time, unlike the infamous, planned obsolescence from which many technological products suffer.

The HQMAG 4500FS does not require accessories for installation. It is particularly suitable for heavy outdoor applications or hostile environments. It is the ideal choice for gates or heavy doors, whether motorised or not.
