OverviewThe Emergency Solenoid Arrestor is an electromagnetic safety locking device designed to quickly stop robot axes and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It reliably blocks movement during emergency stops or system shutdowns.
Applications- Joint locking in collaborative robots (cobots)
- Wheel locking systems for AGVs
- Automated forklifts
- Automated production and intralogistics systems
Application Advantages- Reliable locking during emergency stops or power loss
- Energy-efficient operation with reduced holding voltage
- Fast response times
- High repeatability
- Compact design for space-constrained installations
Technical Data- Combination of a linear solenoid and a customer-specific toothed or star wheel
- Solenoid pin retracts when energized
- Locking occurs automatically when power is removed
- Position maintained using low holding voltage after a short overexcitation phase
- Available as a High Performance Solenoid Arrestor; Open Frame version in development
