Magnetic Workholding Systems
For over 100 years, Eclipse Magnetics has been at the forefront of magnetic engineering, supplying high-performance magnetic workholding solutions to manufacturing, toolmaking, grinding and precision engineering industries worldwide.
The invention of the permanent magnetic chuck is credited to Eclipse Magnetics. We developed the first permanent magnetic chuck in 1934, revolutionising the way components could be securely held during machining, grinding and inspection operations. Today, our magnetic workholding range continues to deliver the reliability, precision and performance trusted by engineers around the world.
Whether you are looking for a permanent magnetic chuck, electromagnetic chuck, magnetic vice, magnetic clamping system or replacement spare parts, Eclipse Magnetics offers a comprehensive range of workholding solutions designed to improve productivity, accuracy and workplace safety.
Why Choose Magnetic Workholding?
Magnetic workholding provides a fast, secure and distortion-free method of holding ferrous components during machining and grinding operations. Unlike traditional mechanical clamps, magnetic systems provide unobstructed access to the workpiece, reducing setup times and improving machining efficiency.
- Faster setup and changeover times
- Improved machining access
- Uniform holding force across the workpiece
- Reduced vibration and movement
- Increased operator safety
- Suitable for grinding, milling, EDM and inspection applications
Our Magnetic Workholding Range
Permanent Magnetic Chucks
Ideal for grinding, light milling and precision engineering applications. Permanent magnetic chucks require no electrical power during operation and provide consistent holding force with simple on/off control.
Electromagnetic Chucks
Designed for demanding machining operations where high holding forces and precise control are required. Electromagnetic chucks are commonly used in surface grinding and specialist manufacturing environments.
Magnetic Vices & Clamping Systems
Flexible workholding solutions that allow quick positioning and secure clamping of ferrous components while maintaining excellent machining access.
Accessories & Spare Parts
We supply a range of genuine Eclipse Magnetics spare parts and accessories to help maintain and extend the service life of your magnetic workholding equipment.
Magnetic Chuck Servicing & Remagnetisation
Many customers are unaware that magnetic chucks should not be dismantled without specialist knowledge and equipment.
When a magnetic chuck is taken apart, the internal magnetic circuit is disrupted and the chuck can lose a significant amount of its magnetic performance. In most cases, the chuck will require professional remagnetisation before it can be safely returned to service.
Eclipse Magnetics offers a specialist inspection, repair and remagnetisation service for magnetic chucks. Our experienced engineers can assess your equipment, replace worn components where required and restore magnetic performance to help maximise the life of your investment.
- Magnetic chuck inspections
- Replacement spare parts
- Repair services
- Professional remagnetisation
- Performance testing and certification
If you are considering dismantling a magnetic chuck or require replacement components, please contact our technical team first. We can advise on the correct procedure and help prevent unnecessary damage to the magnetic system.
