SPIDER Automation | 4-Cell 18650 Magnetic Battery Holder Fixture – Ceramic, 81 × 58 × 15mm | Magnetic Cell Positioning for Battery Pack Assembly
Product Overview & Fixture Design
SPIDER Automation 4-Cell 18650 Magnetic Battery Holder Fixture is designed to assist with positioning four 18650 cylindrical battery cells during battery pack preparation and assembly. Its single-row layout provides a defined arrangement for holding four cells, helping maintain an organised assembly setup.
The fixture is manufactured from ceramic material and incorporates a magnetic holding arrangement. Two magnets are provided at each cell position, creating magnetic attraction to help retain the cells in their intended locations during assembly. This positioning arrangement can make handling and alignment more convenient while preparing battery pack connections.
The four-cell layout supports the preparation of battery packs using suitable series or parallel electrical configurations. The fixture provides mechanical cell positioning; the final electrical arrangement depends on the required pack voltage, capacity, cell orientation and interconnection design.
Measuring 81 × 58 × 15mm and weighing 87g, this fixture is intended for battery fabrication workbenches, electronics workshops and battery pack development setups. It is supplied as one fixture, without battery cells or spot welding equipment.
