„Sonicam has been cooperating with Walmag since 2011 to ensure perfect and safe fastening of moulds for the glass industry on our polishing machines thanks to their magnetic holders. Thanks to robust and reliable products, we guarantee our customers complete satisfaction.“
Your supplier of magnetic applications for over 35 years. We are a Czech manufacturer of high-quality lifting magnets, magnets for clamping during machining, and demagnetizers. We offer warranty and post-warranty service, repairs, and refurbishments of all our technologies.
As one of the few companies on the market, we provide complete service, refurbishment, and repairs of all our products. We also accept products from other brands for inspection and testing. Our goal is for our magnetic systems to last you as long as possible. Therefore, we provide professional warranty and post-warranty service, repairs, and refurbishment of all technologies, as well as operator training.
Yes, the complete process – from in-house development through design, production, to final assembly and testing – takes place directly at our plant in Kroměříž. This gives us full control over quality and allows us to flexibly adapt products to meet specific customer requirements.
What is the difference between permanent, electromagnetic, and electro-permanent systems?
Permanent Magnets: Operate without the need for electricity, activated mechanically by a lever. They are safe, mobile, and maintenance-free. Electromagnets: Create a magnetic field using coils powered from the mains. They have immense power, can clamp uneven surfaces, and allow for force regulation, but they require a constant power supply and backup sources. Electro-Permanent Magnets: Combine the advantages of both systems. They only need electric current for a fraction of a second for activation (magnetization) and deactivation. During operation, they do not require current, making them extremely safe even in case of power outages and they do not heat up.
Can your lifting magnets be used to handle materials at high temperatures?
Standard permanent magnets lose their strength at temperatures above 80 °C. However, for operations with higher temperatures, we offer special series (e.g., HOT load magnets) that can safely handle materials at temperatures up to 180 °C.
Why is a demagnetizer needed after machining?
Ferromagnetic materials retain residual magnetism after being exposed to a magnetic field (e.g., when clamped onto a magnetic chuck). This causes metal chips and dust to stick to the workpiece, which can damage tools or complicate further processing (e.g., painting, welding). Demagnetizers reliably remove this residual magnetism.
Do you provide service and revisions for your products?
Yes, for all our technologies, including older BUX, Walker, and Pilana brand products, we provide complete warranty and post-warranty service, repairs, overhauls, and supplies of original spare parts. We also carry out mandatory periodic certifications, inspections, and load capacity testing of lifting magnets.
Do you also offer staff training?
Yes. As part of the delivery of our magnetic applications and large systems, we provide professional operator training to ensure that working with magnets is as efficient and safe as possible.
How can I contact you if I am interested in a tailor-made solution?
You can contact us via e-mail at info@walmag.cz, by phone at +420 573 341 641, or you can directly contact our regional sales managers for the Czech Republic and abroad, whose contact details can be found in the Contact section of our website.
How is heavy goods (e.g. clamping plates) delivered?
Due to the higher weight of our products, we cooperate with specialized pallet and parcel carriers who ensure safe handling.
How is the safety of lifting magnets purchased from the e-shop guaranteed?
All lifting magnets comply with the strict ČSN EN 13155 standard and operate with a safety factor of 3+. This means that in the breakaway test (the so-called Air Gap test, which simulates a real air gap/dirt in operation), the magnet can lift more than three times its declared maximum load capacity.
Where can I find user manuals and technical documentation?
Technical sheets, catalogs, and operating instructions for individual products are available either on the product's page or upon request.
Are your products made in the Czech Republic?
