Before Replacing Your Control Unit: A Quick Checklist

Before ordering a replacement controller, we highly recommend checking the following to ensure the issue is actually the controller and not the chuck itself:

  • DID YOU CHECK YOUR MAGNETIC CHUCK RESISTANCE?
  • DID YOU CHECK THE ELECTRICAL INSULATION OF THE MAGNET?
  • DID YOU VERIFY IT IS ELECTRO-PERMANENT AND NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC

Electromagnetic chucks require continuous power and use our iBUET Series Controllers. Electro-permanent chucks only require a pulse of power to switch states.

If you have an electropermanent magnetic chuck or lifting magnet of any brand or style, this control unit will work for you. However, if you have an electromagnetic chuck, this control unit will not.

We created an easy form for our customers. The easy form will ask for a few simple pieces of info concerning you shop voltage (AC) and your Magnetic chuck input (DC) voltage. The resistance and amperage of your magnet will be needed as well. With this information, we will be able to provide and program the control unit for your particular magnet.

Yes, it is very important that you make sure your magnet is in good working order before you try a hooking up a new control unit to it. If the electro-permanent magnet is bad, then you will risk damaging the new control unit. So, make sure the resistance and insulation is good prior purchasing a new control. 

No difference, they are the same thing. “EPM chuck” is just an other way to say electro- permanent magnet. So to be clear this page is an epm chuck controller.
