ABSTRACT

A magnetic gripper for gripping a ferromagnetic workpiece, having: a housing;
a magnet arranged in the housing and displaceable along a displacement
direction between a gripping position for gripping the ferromagnetic workpiece
and a release position for releasing the ferromagnetic workpiece; and a number
of pole shoes fastened to the housing. Each pole shoe has a workpiece contact
surface and is designed to guide a magnetic field portion of the magnet to the
workpiece contact surface. Each workpiece contact surface defines a contact
surface angle between itself and the displacement direction. The contact
surface angle ranges in size from 170° to 190°.
