- Full Description
-
The French SME has been established in 2022. Its raison d’être is to create, industrialize and bring to the market all types of ideas, innovations and patents that have an added value for society. The magnetic clamp’s is the society’s first ever commercialised product.
The company is looking for a European manufacturer and supplier of neodymium magnet to relocate its supply chain and increase its resilience. The neodymium magnet must be developed specifically for the product and has to meet specific technical requirements that can be communicated upon request.
The magnetic clamp is designed and manufactured in France. It is formed in a single piece by laser cutting and multiple folding and is made of stainless steel and two powerful neodymium magnets of 9 kilograms.
The magnetic clamp makes it easy for a single person to quickly fit tie-down straps around a load, thanks to the magnetic hold of the hook on the first end, preventing it from unhooking while the strap is being tensioned. It can be used with most straps used by professionals and private individuals in a wide range of fields: cars, two-wheelers, boats, trucks, public works, forestry, industry, … - Advantages and Innovations
-
Handy : It makes it easy for a single person to quickly fit tie-down straps around a load, thanks to the magnetic hold of the hook on the first end, preventing it from unhooking while the strap is being tensioned.
Flexible : It can be positioned either on the strap itself, or directly on the hook, with fingers either clamped or spread to suit all situations.
Safe : enables safe clamping, reducing the number of repeated trips around the load and helping to reduce occupational hazards.
Infinitely reusable : the clamp is made of stainless steel. It is virtually indestructible in its intended use, even in case of intensive use.
Creative : the magnetic clamp is a first of its kind. Its usefulness has been demonstrated by the fact that the product is multi-awarded. It notably won the Concours Lépine’s Gold medal in 2022. The identification of a European manufacturer and supplier of neodymium magnet would complete the success story. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
