We Speak Your Language!

Kendrion – Industrial Magnetic Systems consists of eight branches, among other countries in Germany, Italy, China and the USA. This strategically aligned network allows us to implement international development projects as a partner for our industrial customers.

The knowledge of country-specific markets, regulations, norms and laws allows us, for example, to control and develop a customer project from Germany but to produce and deliver in China. With production facilities in China, the USA and Europe we can guarantee our customers to deliver close to consumption and to flexibly adapt to individual customer requirements.

You can be assured that as a global enterprise and due to our consistently high product quality and commitment we are a successful partner worldwide.

We develop for our customers …

…and think outside the box! Kendrion develops customer-specific solutions which reach with additional assemblies and electronics far beyond the purely electromagnetic components. The electromagnetic solutions of Kendrion are applied in high-tech systems which require specially designed actuators optimized for the respective application. Material selection tailored to the process, dimensioning of components attuned to the required forces and switching speeds as well as lifetime-optimisation are core issues of our customers.

It is our development philosophy to think in terms of solutions for our customers. The expansion of our portfolio by mechanical assemblies, sensor systems and electronics represents a core competence of Kendrion today. We help our customers to facilitate the integration of our assemblies, to save components and costs and to be technologically one step ahead of the competition.

Examples of assemblies and mechatronic solutions:

Life-saving ski lift locking

The innovative locking system makes sure that the restraining bar of a chairlift is arrested during the ride and is released again as soon as the lift station is reached. The safety system provides a holding force of 200 kg and is based on a rotary solenoid with integrated monitoring function.

Hydrogen valve for mobile charger

For a battery charger based on a fuel cell Kendrion is developing a valve to control the hydrogen current during power generation. Due to the small size of the hydrogen valves the technical requirements to the precision of the control valve are extremely high.

Needle selection system in the textile industry

In cooperation with a customer Kendrion develops and produces a mechatronic assembly installed into knitting machines. In order to assure the production of top-quality textiles tolerances of just a few micrometers in production and installation were implemented.

We know your industry…

… like the back of our hands. Kendrion is leading in magnetic engineering in a number of industries. A few examples:

In safety engineering we provide the locking technology for safety switches and lockings. In the area of fire protection technology we are a leading supplier of holding solenoid systems which ensure that fire protection doors are normally kept open but closed in the event of a fire.

In power engineering (medium and high voltage) our single-stroke solenoids are installed into power switches and circuit breakers.

In automation technology we are experts for electric automation (stoppers, separators), in feeding technology and materials handling our electromagnetic oscillation systems and in sorting technology our precise rotary solenoids offer convincing solutions.

For agricultural technology Kendrion supplies solenoids for agricultural machines used in sowing or harvesting assemblies.

For elevators and escalators Kendrion’s portfolio includes spreader solenoids designed for braking systems.

In the food and beverage industry we deliver magnetic valves for beverage dispensers or ventilation systems for baking ovens.

The railway technology is another key industry of Kendrion. In this area typical applications include train door lockings, switch working, sliding step lockings, emergency switches and contactors.

Furthermore, in medical engineering solenoids of Kendrion are applied in X-ray devices, dialysis machines and disinfectant dispensers.

Due to the wide application area of solenoids we have expert knowledge in many other industries. Based on a multitude of implemented solutions we can customize our products to your industries.
