Locking LineKendrion - Industrial Magnetic SystemsWe develop solutions!Kendrion develops, manufactures and markets highquality electromagnetic and mechatronic systems and components for industrial and automotive applications. For over a century we have been engineering precision parts for the world’s leading innovators in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and industrial applications. As a leading technology pioneer, Kendrion invents, designs and manufactures complex components and customised systems as well as local solutions on demand. Committed to the engineering challenges of tomorrow, taking responsibility for how we source, manufacture and conduct business is embedded into our culture of innovation. Rooted in Germany and headquartered in the Netherlands, our expertise extends across Europe to the Americas and Asia. Created with passion and engineered with precision. In the business unit Industrial Magnetic Systems (IMS) the focus lies on electromagnetic actuators and mechatronic assemblies for applications in power engineering, safety engineering, machine building, automation technology and other industries. With the experience of our traditional brands Binder, Neue Hahn Magnet and Thoma Magnettechnik we are successful in our markets as an industry expert with a high technological competence. We offer you both customer-specific and standardised products. Our assemblies are based on powerful and reliable single-stroke, holding, locking, spreader, control, rotary, vibratory solenoids and solenoid valves. We always think in terms of solutions. Our strength lies in new developments for our customers. Our engineers are specialists for innovative products with optimum technical properties. Furthermore, we develop mechanical assemblies, modern drive electronics and sensor systems to your requirements. Our products are manufactured in Germany at the parent companies Donaueschingen and Engelswies as well as in the USA, China and Romania. This ensures efficient project management and a needs-oriented delivery for our internationally operating customers. By means of segmented production areas we can implement both small quantities and large series with an optimum degree of automation. We guarantee top quality. All products are tested and developed in compliance with the norm DIN VDE 0580 for electromagnetic devices and components or according to industry-specific standards of our customers. In many cases our products are tested and certified by external associations. among others according to the CSA. VdS and ATEX guidelines. Our quality management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001. and our environmental management system fulfils the norm ISO 14001.Single-stroke solenoids of the Kendrion Locking Line are locking units specially designed for use in safety devices. With these solenoids special attention has been paid to compact design, long lifetime and high lateral force load-bearing capacity. Electromagnetic locking units are used in safety devices of machines and all types of automation equipment and as direct function in sequence controls. Furthermore, the compact variants are suitable for the safe locking of doors, cabinets and drawers. Single-stroke solenoids are positive locking devices; in their function as locking units two different types are distinguished: ■ Currentless locking (CL): spring force keeps bolt in locking position ■ Currentless unlocking (CU): spring force keeps bolt open, in energized state the bolt is in locking position ■ Bistable operation (BI): open and locked bolt position currentless, power supply for switching operation Depending on the design a wide range of requirements can be met, including special demands of accident prevention regulations. In order to monitor the function micro-switches resp. Hall sensors providing feedback on the bolt position can be integrated in the device. To increase the lateral force load-bearing capacity the solenoid armatures and locking bolts are installed in maintenance-free bearings with high resistance to wear. The locking bolts themselves are largely made of stainless steel.
