Optimize your conveyor systems

Electromagnetic brakes and sorting switches

In order to cope with the rapidly increasing international movement of goods, a future-proof intralogistics system is needed that can be used to transport goods efficiently and quickly. Our customers are leading manufacturers of such logistics solutions and have many years of expertise in the field of transport technology.

KENDRION develops and produces electromagnetic sorting switches, for example for overhead conveyor systems or modern shoe sorter systems with which the transport direction of the goods is controlled quickly and reliably by setting the appropriate switches.

In addition, KENDRION also offers electromagnetic brakes which are installed in the electric motors of the conveyor belts and bring the conveyor belts to a safe stop in an emergency. KENDRION also develops customer-specific solutions, e.g. for spindle motors or roller conveyors where the brake is integrated into the rollers. These solutions are used in areas such as handling technology, the electrical industry, packaging machines and assembly automation.

Shuttle systems automate internal transport and increase storage capacity, efficiency, and productivity while reducing error rates. Kendrion's electromagnetic shuttle finger for shuttle vehicles optimize material handling in automated storage systems.

Electromagnetic brakes for geared motors

Flexible brake solutions for every requirement

Geared motors are a combination of a motor and a gearbox and are the most commonly used drives in industry.  They are essential for the smooth running of manufacturing and logistics processes, as well as in mechanical engineering.

Electromagnetic brakes are used to hold loads securely in position when the motor is switched off. Motors are typically configured for either a dynamic or a holding application.

Electromagnetic divert switch for sliding shoe sorter

The bistable rotary solenoid PDM

Our ready-to-install divert switch provides is a fast and reliable solution for sliding shoe sorters. The bistable rotary solenoid PDM050 has a strong bistable behavior and high holding force, making it ideal for precise and fast diverting of items on the conveyor belt.

The electromagnetic divert switch based on the PDM rotary solenoid PDM series can be used in shoe sorters, parcel and postal sorting applications or overhead conveyors.

Store and retrieve goods with solenoid finger for shuttle systems

The BSM043 bistable rotary solenoid is the perfect solution for automated storage systems. Its 90° turning angle, combined with an aluminum finger (or any other material), makes it easy to store, retrieve, and transport goods safely.

The solenoid holds its end positions currentless, making it ideal for battery-operated or capacitor discharge solutions. It resists high radial forces, ensuring greater safety for shuttle systems. It offers a duty cycle up to 100% and very fast switching times if required. Additionally, position detection is available.
