Magswitch MagWheel 600 Magnetic Wheel
Product Overview
The Magswitch MagWheel 600 is a permanent magnetic wheel designed to provide a strong, secure connection between drive units and ferrous steel surfaces. Unlike a conventional wheel, the MagWheel uses Magswitch magnetic technology to travel across steel in flat, vertical, or inverted orientations.
With a maximum breakaway force of 292 lb (132.4 kg), the MagWheel 600 is suited to positioning, guiding, sheet feeding, pipe handling, fabrication, and OEM automation applications. It operates without an electrical power source and can be integrated with drive units for mobile applications.
Key Features
- Permanent magnetic wheel for ferrous steel surfaces.
- 292 lb (132.4 kg) maximum breakaway force.
- Magnetic field can be switched completely ON or OFF.
- Requires no electrical power source.
- Supports movement across flat, vertical, and inverted steel surfaces.
- Suitable for both flat and round steel surfaces.
- Non-marring magnetic holding design.
- Compact construction for easier integration into equipment.
- Can be fitted with drive units for mobile applications.
- Suitable for automation, positioning, guiding, fabrication, and material-handling systems.
- Magnetic pole footprint measures approximately 101.1 × 90 mm.
Magnetic Travel on Steel
The MagWheel 600 is designed to do more than simply hold a component in place. Its magnetic flux path runs through the wheel, allowing equipment fitted with the wheel to climb, carry, or travel along ferrous surfaces.
This makes it useful for applications where a powered or manually guided device needs reliable traction on steel, including vertical and overhead travel.
Mechanical Magnetic Control
The magnetic field can be turned fully on or off, allowing the wheel to be engaged when magnetic attachment is needed and released when the equipment needs to be repositioned.
Because the magnetic system does not depend on an electrical power supply, it can provide a self-contained magnetic connection for compatible equipment.
Designed for Flat and Round Steel
The MagWheel 600 is suitable for contact with both flat and curved ferrous surfaces. This versatility makes it useful for applications involving steel plate, pipe, and other steel structures where conventional magnetic mounting solutions may be less suitable.
Mobile and Automation Applications
The MagWheel 600 can be integrated with drive units to create mobile systems that travel along steel surfaces. This opens up applications in OEM automation, inspection equipment, positioning systems, sheet-feeding equipment, fabrication machinery, and specialized material-handling systems.

Benefits
Reliable Magnetic Connection
The MagWheel provides a strong magnetic connection to ferrous steel without requiring an external electrical power source.
Vertical and Overhead Capability
Its magnetic design allows compatible equipment to travel on vertical and inverted steel surfaces, expanding its usefulness beyond conventional floor-level applications.
Compact Integration
With a weight of approximately 6.6 lb (3 kg) and compact dimensions, the MagWheel 600 can be incorporated into equipment where space and weight are important considerations.
Versatile Surface Contact
Its design accommodates both flat and round steel surfaces, making it suitable for a wider range of fabrication and automation applications.
Suitable for Mobile Systems
The wheel can be fitted with drive units, allowing it to serve as part of a mobile platform that moves along ferrous surfaces.
Important Safety Considerations
The MagWheel 600 is intended for use with ferrous targets. Magswitch warns that the product should not be operated unless it is in contact with an appropriate ferrous surface.
The published 292-lb maximum breakaway force was determined under controlled laboratory conditions using 2-inch-thick SAE 1018 steel with a specified surface roughness. Actual magnetic force can vary significantly depending on material type, thickness, surface condition, geometry, air gaps, and other application-specific factors. Magswitch recommends testing the product in the intended application before deployment.
Why Choose the Magswitch MagWheel 600?
The Magswitch MagWheel 600 is a specialized solution for equipment that needs to maintain a reliable magnetic connection while moving across steel. Its combination of 292-lb maximum breakaway force, switchable magnetic operation, compact construction, flat and curved surface compatibility, and support for mobile drive units makes it particularly useful for industrial automation and fabrication applications.
Rather than functioning as a simple magnetic holder, the MagWheel is designed as a mobile magnetic interface, allowing equipment designers to create systems capable of traveling across steel surfaces in multiple orientations.
