Manufacturer: Kanetec
Model: KEP (KEP-3C,KEP-4C,KEP-5C,KEP-7C,KEP-9C,KEP-K5)

Features

• No fear of accidents by fallen workpieces due to power failure and no heat generated by continuous power on. These features make these holders suitable for long-hour holding. A permanent magnet holds the workpieces, but its ON/OFF function is controlled electrically.
• The electromagnetic release type maintains the magnetic force in the off state while power is supplied, but typically the magnetic force is kept on.
• You do not need an uninterruptible power supply.
• The square type (KEP-K) is suitable for picking up small parts from corners of containers, etc., and picking up doughnut-shaped workpieces.

How to use

Obtain a 24 VDC power source. Connect the power cord with positive and negative wires as shown below:

• Connect the black wire of the cord to the positive terminal of the power source.
• Attach the cord’s white wire to the power source’s negative terminal.

Reversing the positive and negative wires will prevent the release of workpieces.

Released only at power on

The power-on time must be 5 seconds or less. The power-off time must be 10 times or longer. (30 seconds or less for KEP-K.)

Residual holding power

As an inevitable nature of permanent electromagnetic holders, 3% to 4% of the holding power will remain as residual holding power after the workpiece has been released. If the weight of the lifted workpiece is smaller than this holding power, it may not be released. In such a case, the workpiece can be released easily by attaching a thin nonmagnetic film on the attractive face. Note, however, that the holding power will drop as the square of clearance.

Specifications

1. The max. holding power is based on a test piece of SS400, 20 mm thick, ground surface held on the whole area. Therefore, the lifting capacity is normally a third or less of the max. holding power.
2. Cord length 0.3 m.
