NEWSON GALE Magnetic Static Grounding Clamp VESX50-IP

Newson Gale VESX50-IP Magnetic Static Grounding Clamp Newson Gale's VESX50-IP magnetic grounding clamp utilizes magnetic technology to provide a strong and robust low resistance connection to any ferrous metal surface (body of a drum, container, IBC) without the reliance on an obvious clamping point, such as an earth pin, bar, tab. It also allows a connection method where the process does not allow a traditional earthing clamp to be fitted like closed drum filling or where mixing lids prevent a sound connection of a spring loaded clamp. The stainless-steel grade 304 clamp body houses two neodymium magnets and wiring. Its powerful combination of sharp spring-loaded tungsten carbide tips complemented by the strength of two neodymium magnets ensures that connection inhibitors such as paint coatings, product deposits or corrosion does not prevent the clamp from making a low resistance (≤10 Ohms) connection to equipment due to be grounded. Note: Not authorized for use with trucks, trailers, or railcar applications. VESX50-IP does not include spiral cable or quick connector. Please refer to the magnetic chart tab for a list of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
