Precise control of conveyor technology – with our electromagnetic stoppers
Stoppers play a key role in conveyor and transfer lines: they separate pallets and workpiece carriers, position them precisely at processing stations, and must also work reproducibly at high cycle rates. Our electromagnetic stoppers are controlled directly via 24 V DC and can be integrated into common PLC and IO architectures without valve technology or pneumatic peripherals.
Application-oriented stopper designs for conveyor technology
"With our electromagnetic stopper, we are replacing pneumatics with a purely electrical solution that lowers operating costs, reduces noise, and significantly simplifies system concepts," says Peter Deckel, Product Manager at Kendrion.
Our electromagnetic stoppers are available in both damped and undamped versions.The undamped version is designed for high loads and fast cycles. It is designed for loads of up to 25 kg at conveyor speeds of up to 20 m/min, as proven in endurance testing. This makes the undamped stoppers particularly suitable for robust applications with high throughput.
A damped version is available for applications with increased requirements for positioning accuracy and material protection: it enables gentle, controlled braking of workpiece carriers weighing up to 15 kg. This reduces the mechanical loads in the system. The very short switching times of these stoppers support precise, repeatable positioning processes even at high belt speeds.
Compact design and optional condition monitoring
The slim design of the electromagnetic stoppers facilitates their integration into existing conveyor and transfer lines. Optionally available condition monitoring increases system availability.
At LogiMAT in Stuttgart from March 24 to 26, 2026, visitors can observe the functionality of the stoppers live at our exhibit in Hall 1, Booth GA35.
