Mag-mate ER2-201 Electromagnet 150 Lb 24VDC 5.2W

Product Description

The MAG-MATE ER2-201 is a compact DC electromagnet rated for up to 150 pounds of maximum magnetic pull at 24 volts DC. The unit draws 5.2 watts and features a 2-inch body diameter with a 1/4-20 threaded mounting interface. It is designed for holding, latching, and positioning applications in light industrial, HVAC controls, automation, and access control systems. Licensed electricians, automation technicians, and controls specialists are the primary installers. The electromagnet energizes on command to hold ferrous targets and releases instantly when power is removed, making it well suited for fail-safe holding fixtures and door or panel latching.

The ER2-201 fits residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile, round-body holding magnet is needed. Typical install scenarios include control panel door latches, conveyor stop gates, fixture clamps, and automated access systems. The 24-volt DC operating voltage aligns with standard low-voltage control circuits common in building automation and HVAC control panels. The compact 2-inch diameter allows installation in space-constrained enclosures and brackets.

Key Features

• 150 pounds maximum magnetic pull; 75 pounds average magnetic pull under typical operating conditions
• 24 volts DC operating voltage compatible with standard low-voltage control circuits
• 5.2 watts power draw for energy-efficient continuous-duty holding
• 2-inch body diameter in a compact round housing
• 1/4-20 threaded mount for straightforward bracket or panel attachment
• Maximum operating temperature of 160 degrees F, suitable for warm enclosure environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount holding electromagnet for 24-volt DC control circuits in light industrial, automation, building controls, and access control applications. Verify target surface is ferrous and flat for rated pull performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or controls technician familiar with low-voltage DC wiring and applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the control circuit before mounting or wiring the electromagnet. Ensure the mating ferrous surface is clean, flat, and free of debris to achieve rated pull force. Secure the body using the 1/4-20 threaded interface and confirm wiring polarity matches the control circuit before applying power.
