Description
The StaticMag is a magnetic grounding clamp, also called a magnetic static earthing clamp, that attaches to ferrous metal without fasteners for a fast grounding connection. It is an alternative to traditional plier-type grounding clamps, designed for drums and totes that require static grounding but do not have a reliable means to temporarily attach a clamp.
How it works
- Compact, ergonomic design that attaches to a flat or curved surface.
- Sharp stainless steel connection points penetrate paint or corrosion on ferrous surfaces to ensure a less than 5 ohm resistance path to earth ground.
- Strong magnetic pull force keeps the clamp in place on the surface.
- Patented switchable magnetic technology turns the magnetic attraction on and off with the turn of a knob, so removal and stowage are easy and safe.

Compatibility
The StaticMag is fully compatible with the STS 300 Ground Monitoring System where visual indication and control system integration are needed. Compatibility with other grounding systems may be possible, and retrofitting clamp-type grounding systems is simple. It is available with coiled or straight ground cable. The STS 300 manual lists the StaticMag IP as part SM3-135IP and a StaticMag Holster Kit as part RK-19.
Compatible products
- STS 300 Ground Monitoring System
- Coil Cable and Straight Cable
- Other drum and tote clamps: VUD Clamp, REB Clamp
FAQ
Does the StaticMag work on stainless steel or aluminum containers?
The StaticMag attaches to ferrous metal. For other surfaces, consider a plier-type clamp such as the VUD or REB.
How do I remove it?
Turn the knob to switch the magnetic attraction off, then lift the clamp away.
Can I use it with my existing STS 300?
Yes. The StaticMag is fully compatible with STS 300 Electronic Indicating Ground Assemblies, and retrofitting clamp-type systems is simple.
