Do-it-yourself magnetic broom

Good day, dear the inhabitants of our site!
This article will be interesting to everyone who has to deal with metal small parts and garbage like chips.
The author of the channel "Made in Poland" offers a solution to the problem of cleaning chips with a magnetic picker.

Materials
- Copper or aluminum tube 22 mm x 330 mm
- Handle from a motorcycle or bicycle
- Steel pin M5 340mm long
- Two plastic caps
- 6 neodymium magnets 20mm x 3mm. (There are eight of them in the pictures, but the author took two - six are enough)
- 12 washers m10
- 12 washers m5
- 9 nuts m5
- One extended nut m5
- Plastic handle - lamb with m5 thread.

Instrumentsused by the author.
- Lathe. Optional
- Drill or screwdriver
- Anvil, hammer
- Wrenches, pliers.

The author is convinced that if you do not have a lathe, you can also make such a magnetic collector for small metal waste. The main thing you need to do is find magnets with an outer diameter of about 20-21 mm.

Washers are required for proper collector operation. Thanks to them, all magnetic forces are transmitted to their sides (for example, a welding magnet).

Yes, the author drilled neodymium magnets. But he has no idea whether you can do it or not, but they work fine, and nothing bad happened to them. (Because they crack during drilling.)

When you drill them, do not forget, do not overheat them, because they will lose their properties. It is better to do this in a few calls.

Assembly process fixtures.
First you need the M5 washers and bolt.


The author collects a bag from them, clamping it with an elongated nut and a regular counter.





Now, clamping the bag by the elongated nut in the lathe chuck, grinds the washers slightly so that they become the same size.





Then he parses the bag and removes not turned washers.



With sharpened, there is still a slight refinement.



Having laid the washer on the anvil, and having placed the ruler, it is clear that it is not flat. This is due to the technology of its manufacture. Covers the puck with a steel plate, and smoothes it with a hammer. The author needs 12 such washers.




Now the puck has become flat, you can move on to the next process.


Such neodymium magnets could get the author. But the hole in them is small. In order for the magnets to fit on the M5 stud, they need to be drilled. Very neat and without overheating.






Now the magnet fits on the hairpin.


The next step will be the assembly of the working part. First of all, it clamps the stud in the screwdriver's chuck, it will be easier to tighten the nuts. It gains the original nut and, holding it with pliers, brings it to the right place.



The package itself collects from eight repeating elements. Each element of the package is assembled as follows: washer M5 - washer M10 - neodymium magnet - washer M10 - washer M5 - nut.







You can magnetize M10 washers immediately, it will be faster and easier to assemble.


After assembly, the bag fixes it at the end with two nuts and compresses the entire structure to the very edge of the stud.


Now he runs it several times through a copper pipe so that everything goes freely.




At the beginning of the tube inserts a cork. She sits very tightly, even had to help with a hammer.



Installs the housing in a lathe, and grinds cork bumps. Drills a hole for the stud.




Passes the working part through the pipe, pulling the pin through the cork. The second edge of the tube closes with the same plug. Clamps in a cartridge and repeats the action, as with the first. But does not drill a hole.



The next one will be a handle, in its "bottom" drills a hole with a screwdriver.


Puts the handle on the finished case, pulls out the hairpin.




Screws a nut and a knob on the edge of the stud, clamps them together with a key.



It works great.


It's time to start the test. Pushing the working part all the way, collects the scattered chips.





To dump collected in a bucket - it is enough to sharply pull the working part by the lamb.


You can even see where each magnet is located. You can collect not only chips, but also randomly scattered nuts, washers, bolts. In general, the use of such a "broom" mass. You can also look for a fallen small bolt or spring.










The whole structure works very well, and the author recommends it for mandatory production. And since the construction is sealed right up to the handle, it is possible to search for a fallen part even in a dirty puddle.
Thanks to the author for a very useful idea for the workshop!

In, there is about packages =) 4-15

OK. a gadget was dropped into a puddle. will we run 220 to look for?
Well, if you criticize, it would be worth it.

You didn’t even bother to read

Do you seriously think that it would be worth ???
You didn’t even bother to read. Not cardboard, but aluminum.

- so lay out your ingenious

Yes, it’s like you can handle it yourself, a cardboard tank for shooting balls is much more ingenious
explain rather mediocre work .... no, thank you.

That’s why I don’t post it!

I join, to explain a rather mediocre work .... no, thank you.
Waiting for your articles =)
That’s why I don’t post it! smile

Yes, hell knows. I don’t understand the Pole myself. take a soviet bicycle pump and magnets on a rod. electrical tape. blue. all class.
Author
Waiting for your articles =)
The differences between align, and then grind, or vice versa do not see. The result is the same. And he grinds, because, like not so small washers. This is visible in the photo. A magnet between the two washers, in addition to the m10. At least I see it that way.

I am not an author. Questions all to him

No dear, once dig up, and signed up, so be kind enough to comply.

I am not an author. Questions are all to him. there are links. sick of answering questions.

I'm wildly sorry

I will not argue with commentators. tired of it.
I also liked it ... A rather useful thing ... (Though to me personally - and not necessary))). Not a professional))). Sawdust (rare and small) vacuuming, or in the old fashioned way - "brush-brush".))))
Sorry, but a little et-ta ... solely for the purpose of enlightenment :)))
extended nut m5

Correctly will be "M5 connecting nut"
...
And yet ... Sorry, but I still do not understand why the author turned the pucks? If they were even bigger, it would be clear: to get into the pipe! ))). But why small ???
And the second .. If you really need to grind, then why can not you first align, and then grind ??? What is the sacred meaning, enlighten ...

The electromagnet is certainly cooler. but he needs to charge the batteries.

Why batteries ?, from the lighting network (while the light is on, the magnet is turned on), there is a magnet for each workstation, given the specifics, you can bend the working area.
Author
went to measure the Soviet pump =) Outer diameter 24mm = 0.945 inches
from machine to machine, this thing is just right
Take a closer look at the video, from magnetic (metal) surfaces even dry chips are not collected so hot, and adding oil, coolant, will become completely useless! Although, maybe I'm wrong!
Author
The electromagnet is certainly cooler. but he needs to charge the batteries (again - chips can get into the charging connector). and this is an eternal thing. And to sneeze at any moisture.
Although you can certainly make a completely sealed electromagnet, fill it with epoxy and all that, control through a reed switch ... but there is more work to do.
And then the Soviet pump was dismantled, I wrapped small magnets on the piston rod with electrical tape. and rejoice!
Yes, I forgot. the chipper only in the middle of the body must be set so that the chips fly off.
At first I thought the handle slides and knocks down the sawdust. I read the article. Great stuff. Only I would make it thinner. It would be more convenient to climb into hard-to-reach places.
I liked the idea. As for the package, it was torn by other counterarguments, how is it necessary to tarnish the shop so that the viscose package is torn ??? If someone worked at the RMC, they will probably remember the specifics of work, you run from machine to machine, this thing is just right, I just think it’s more interesting to electromagnet, Yes, every machine has a hang.
Leobrynn,
And there may be so many shavings that at one time the magnet will not capture
Yes, the video shows that it collects in three passes from a non-magnetic surface and it’s not clean, the broom will be faster and cleaner.
Author
On the contrary, it flies in a second, I specially selected the frames so that I could see.
picked up the screws from the floor and tore the bag
Well, why tear good packages? Uneconomical! Take a ragged one right away! smile
And there may be so many shavings that at one time the magnet will not capture
Yeah, judging by some photos, shaking off all the shavings from this thing is still a problem! Yes, and the question of capture! smile
Author
He put the magnet in the bag, picked up the screws from the floor and tore the bag. Threw out the bag, pick the screws from the magnet.
In the workshop, everything can lie on the floor. And the chips can be so much that at one time the magnet does not capture. even two or ten times. so, ten packets to throw out?
And this thing can even be done from a bicycle pump. the author was just bored.
The work, of course, is solid, but! He put the magnet in the bag, collected the chips, turned the bag, threw it away with the chips! Magnet left.
