Solenoid finger for shuttle conveyors

Shuttle systems are used in intralogistics to automate the internal transport of goods and materials. They increase warehouse capacities, boost efficiency as well as productivity and reduce failures. Kendrion is a specialist for innovative solutions and brings more than 100 years of experience in the development and production of electromagnetic components. Based on the BSM043 rotary solenoid, Kendrion has developed a finger for shuttle vehicles that optimizes material handling in automated storage systems.

See how our solenoid finger works to efficiently store and retrieve goods with 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.

Our Shuttle Finger BSM043 is the ultimate solution for safeguarding transported goods on shuttles. Featuring a bistable rotary design and 90° turning angle, this patented solenoid can resist high radial forces and hold its end positions currentless. With switching times ranging from 8 to 30 ms, you can count on the BSM043 to provide reliable and efficient performance.

Fields of application:

Overhead conveyors and floor conveyors
AGV

High radial forces
Fast switching times
High durability
Modular and customized versions
Less control efforts and less hardware

With its specific properties, the Kendrions bistable rotary solenoids are suitable for use in logistics systems where fast and reliable switching and a strong bistable behaviour are required.

The operating and display device can be used for modern AGV visualization as CODESYS HMI, web terminal or with a Linux visualization app.

Stepper control raises and lowers the flap. Kendrion’s Stepper Control for 3 Stepper motors is optimally suited for various independent motion applications.

The electromagnetic stoppers developed by Kendrion are actuated using high-performance solenoids, which achieve very high forces with small size.

Kendrion offers modular solutions for the conveyor technology, from single excitation systems via complete linear conveyor systems with integrated springs and defined cycle stroke to electronic control units.

The bistable solenoid BI034 locks the flap position and unlocks it precisely with an end force of 45N just as quickly after the task has been successfully completed.

The Kendrion pin brake stops the AGV immediately in the event of a power loss, caused for example by a short circuit or battery failure, by mechanically blocking the wheels.

When an object or a person enters the permanently monitored AGV warning field, its speed can be safely limited or stopped with safety functions such as STO, SS1, SLS.

Highly maneuverable AGV are optimally controlled with Kendrion’s compact EtherCAT Drive Control for servo or stepper motors.

The shutter D23 laser, which is designed for continuous operation, blocks the laser beam with its optical paddle and a switching time of approx. 30 ms during operation and in pauses to protect the laser.
