The Miko ROV Magnet is a switchable subsea magnet designed for reliable attachment, positioning, and temporary storage during ROV inspection and intervention tasks. With a fully mechanical on/off function, 750 kg holding force, and full ocean depth rating, it provides a practical and dependable solution for operators working on subsea steel structures, tooling support, and underwater inspections.

Its modular design allows the magnet to be adapted for different subsea applications. The handles can be replaced to suit common ROV manipulator claws, while the bracket can be exchanged for accessories such as a camera or torch. This gives operators greater flexibility when configuring ROV tooling for inspection, light intervention, and asset support work.

Unlike powered magnetic systems, the Miko ROV Magnet uses a purely mechanical activation method. The magnet is deactivated by pushing the handles together and activated when the ROV releases its grip. This helps support gentle handling of painted subsea installations, fragile wrecks, and other underwater steel surfaces, making it particularly useful where controlled contact is important.

Constructed with a stainless steel housing and fitted with a high quality pressure compensator, the unit is designed to provide strong corrosion resistance and dependable subsea performance in demanding offshore and marine environments. It is rated for full ocean depth and supplied in packaging suitable for unrestricted air freight, making it practical for mobilisation to offshore projects worldwide.

Whether used for ROV stabilisation during welding inspection, temporary storage of subsea tools, or as a fixing point for lights and cameras, the Miko ROV Magnet is a versatile addition to any ROV spread.

Why Use a Switchable ROV Magnet?

A switchable ROV magnet gives operators a simple and dependable method of attaching equipment to underwater steel structures without relying on electrical power for activation. In practical offshore operations, this can support:

• Reduced tooling complexity

• Better operational control during inspection tasks

• Flexible temporary mounting points for accessories

• Easier tool management subsea

• More controlled interaction with sensitive or coated assets

For operators carrying out subsea inspection, intervention, or survey work, a mechanical ROV magnet can be an efficient addition to the tooling package where repeatable steel attachment points are required.

Technical Specification

*Perpendicular holding force on a clean mild steel plate of minimum thickness 30 mm.
