DESCRIPTION

The CLM-0.5 is a kit that consists of a base (non-floating part) and a carrier (floating magnet ring). The CLM-0.5 is a levitation system with a smaller footprint, a levitation height of 25 mm and is capable of carrying loads up to 100 gr.


CLM-0.5 main features:


• Modular levitation system, suitable for a wide variety of applications
• High levitation height
• Robust optical sensing system
• Excellent stability
• Carrier plateau locks-on easily
• Power efficient
• Ability to carry large loads

The CLM-0.5 is operated by connecting the base to a supply (mains adaptor). Next putting the carrier, with its rubber side down, in the middle above the base until “lock” occurs. Then the carrier can be released. Both carrier and base contain powerful magnets, therefore Crealev advises to keep magnetic sensitive devices such as credit cards at a minimum distance of 15 mm (<300 Gauss) from the CLM-0.5.
