A pneumatically actuated magnetic workpiece/article holder is for use with a lifting assembly. The article holder comprises a housing having a magnetic assembly translationally mounted within the housing. The magnetic assembly comprises two opposed pole pieces and a permanent magnet centered and mounted between the pole pieces. A pneumatic actuator is mounted on the housing and is operatively connected to the magnetic assembly. The article holder may further comprise brackets for operatively mounting the article holder on the lifting assembly. The magnet may be formed from a rare earth metal having very strong magnetic properties, such as neodymium.
