Abstract

A magnetic handling device for handling an object in a workspace, the device including a tubular case of a non-magnetic or weakly magnetic material, including adjacent sliding faces, a first end of the tubular case open and in communication with the workspace, a ferromagnetic armature slidably arranged in the tubular case according to the longitudinal axis of the tubular case, a handling shaft extending through the tubular case, the handling shaft coupled to the ferromagnetic armature to slide toward or in the workspace, an actuator outside the tubular case, including magnets forming a magnetic system with the ferromagnetic armature, the actuator configured to make the ferromagnetic armature slide according to the tubular case longitudinal axis, actuator inner surfaces and outer surfaces of the ferromagnetic armature configured to match with the sliding faces, the ferromagnetic armature configured to be pressed on the sliding faces of the tubular case by the magnets.
