Description
Northern Magnetics NorMag 2004-2-BOS Magnetic Chuck 4A 100% Duty DB9
The Northern Magnetics (NorMag) 2004-2-BOS is a compact rectangular electromagnetic magnetic chuck designed for precision workholding in machine tool and motion-stage applications. It uses a dual-winding electromagnet to hold ferrous workpieces firmly against its grooved pole-face surface, releasing the workpiece instantly when power is removed. The chuck is rated for continuous 100% duty cycle operation at 4.0 amps and connects to its controller via a DB9 (9-pin D-sub) interface.

Applications
Electromagnetic magnetic chucks like the NorMag 2004-2-BOS are used in precision machine tool setups and automated motion stages where ferrous workpieces must be held securely during grinding, milling, or inspection operations and then released cleanly on command. The grooved pole-face design concentrates the magnetic field to maximize holding force on flat or profiled steel and iron parts. The 100% duty cycle rating makes the 2004-2-BOS suitable for continuous-run production environments rather than intermittent-use applications. Northern Magnetics, based in Santa Clarita, California, has produced electromagnetic workholding and positioning components for the machine tool, semiconductor handling, and precision automation industries. The DB9 interface is typical of NorMag chucks designed to mate with dedicated chuck controllers or PLC-driven systems common in CNC machine tool and semiconductor wafer-handling equipment from the 1990s and 2000s.
This Northern Magnetics NorMag 2004-2-BOS magnetic chuck has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The unit was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in service. The pole face surface shows typical light wear from normal workholding use. The DB9 connector and side jack appear intact with no visible damage. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
