The D12 is specifically designed for the delicate handling of small parts. Equipped with cutting-edge shallow field array
technology, it excels as an exceptional solution for effortlessly de-stacking and lifting thin materials, a task that often
proves challenging for conventional magnets.

1Determined in laboratory environment on 2” thick SAE1018 Steel with surface roughness 63 micro inches with optimized
pole shoes. Many factors contribute to the actual breakaway force and safe working load in each application. Consult a
Magswitch Applications Engineer and test the Magswitch in each application before deployment.
2Tested and Determined with Two SAE1018 Steel Sheets L=200mm W=200mm Thickness=1.5 mm.
3 Values may vary by +/- 5%.
4 Maximum forces listed above are not safe lifting forces. Designer must take into account safety factor when specifying
tool. Magswitch recommends SWL = 5:1 for most applications.

Sensor Kit Installation and Calibration
•Step 1
oConnect tool to air supply.
oActuate to ON position while on target.
oInsert Sick sensor (Magswitch PN 88001580 - sold separately) into T-slot and turn the sensor to parallel with T slot.
oPush the sensor to the bottom of T slot and tighten screw to secure sensor.
•Step 2
oUsing a non-ferrous object, press and hold the button in the center of the sensor for 3 seconds.
oThe lower light will blink to indicate that you can release.
oThe lower light will remain lit while the top light blinks continuously.

•Step 3
oActuate tool to OFF position, the lower light should turn off.
oUsing a non-ferrous object, press the button momentarily.
oThe upper light will blink and stay on.
oThe sensor is now calibrated.
oActuate the tool on and off several times to confirm functionality.

Rubber Band Kit Installation
NOTE: The tool comes with Friction Pad Kit (pre-installed) and Rubber Band Kit (packed separately in the package). If you
don’t need Friction Pad Kit, remove it, and install the Rubber Band Kit instead. The tool must be used with either Friction
Pad Kit or Rubber Band Kit. Follow the instruction below for the Rubber Band Kit installation.
•Turn OFF the tool.
•Remove Friction Pad Kit (pre-installed on the tool).
•Clean all the surfaces that will be covered by Rubber Band. Particles and debris should be removed completely.
•Align the two sides with thicker walls on the Rubber Band with two sides
with slots on the tool (marked with arrows). Press in one side and then
press in the other side.
•Press on the outside of Rubber Band along the lips several times until the
lips are fully engaged into the slots.
•The installation of Rubber Band is complete.
Friction Pad Kit Installation
NOTE: The Friction Pad Kit is pre-installed. If Friction Pad re-installation is needed, follow the instructions below.
•Turn OFF the tool.
•Remove the Rubber Band Kit (if applicable).
•Clean all the surfaces that will be covered by Friction Pad. Particles and debris should be removed completely.
•Align the two sides with lips on the Friction Pad with two sides with
slots on the tool (marked with arrows). Press in one side and then
press in the other side.
•Press on the outside of Friction Pad along the lips several times until
the lips are fully engaged into the slots.
•The installation of Friction Pad is complete.
