Abstract
Disclosed is an electromagnet design that can be quickly disassembled, repaired, and reassemble. In one embodiment the electromagnet comprises a housing having a housing cavity. Carved or molded into the housing is a pair of opposing slots. An electromagnetic core comprising a ferromagnetic material wrapped with electrical wire is disposed within the housing cavity. A pair of braces are lodged within the slots in the housing cavity such that they overlap the electromagnetic core. A center shoe engages the braces and is secured to the housing by six bolts. The slots, braces, and center shoe design cooperate to secure the electromagnetic core within the housing cavity.
