i have a electromagnet with 200# pull is their a way to get full pull on sheetmetal or is their something i can do to the sheetmetal.

In summary, an electromagnet is a type of magnet that is created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire. It works by using the principles of electromagnetism and can attract ferromagnetic materials such as iron or steel. The "200# pull" refers to the maximum weight that the electromagnet is capable of lifting. It is possible to increase the pull of an electromagnet by increasing the number of turns in the coil or the amount of current flowing through the wire, but caution must be taken not to exceed its design limits. While an electromagnet can achieve "full pull" in terms of its maximum lifting capacity, there will always be a limit to its pull strength based on its design and materials used.

I'm not sure what this means, sorry. I would try posting this in the Engineering forum and taking a little more time to explain and clarify your post. Make sure it is as clear as you can make it and you state your problem/question in an easy way to understand.
(One big run on sentence doesn't do much for your post.)
What is an electromagnet?
An electromagnet is a type of magnet that is created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire. The magnetic field produced by the current allows the electromagnet to attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron or steel.
How does an electromagnet work?
An electromagnet works by using the principles of electromagnetism. When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By coiling the wire, the magnetic field is concentrated, making the electromagnet stronger.
What does "200# pull" mean in relation to an electromagnet?
"200# pull" refers to the maximum amount of weight that the electromagnet is capable of lifting. The pound (#) symbol is commonly used to measure weight in the United States.
Is there a way to increase the pull of an electromagnet?
Yes, there are several ways to increase the pull of an electromagnet. One way is to increase the number of turns in the coil. Another way is to increase the amount of current flowing through the wire. However, it is important to note that increasing the pull of an electromagnet beyond its design limits can cause it to overheat and potentially damage the device.
Can an electromagnet achieve "full pull"?
It depends on what is meant by "full pull." If "full pull" refers to the maximum weight that the electromagnet is capable of lifting, then yes, it can achieve full pull. However, if "full pull" refers to a theoretical maximum weight that the electromagnet could lift, then no, there will always be a limit to the pull strength of an electromagnet based on its design and the materials used to construct it.
