Magswitch ELAY 50X5 electric magnetic gripper
Magswitch ELAY 50X5 electric magnetic gripper
Article number: 81501320
The Magswitch ELAY 50x5 features newly developed Variable Field Output (VFO) technology, enabling the tool to destack thin material and optimize performance for each component. Once a part has been gripped and separated from the adjacent part, the tool can be switched to full power to achieve maximum holding force.
Once fully activated, the tool can send back a "Proper Part Present" signal – an innovative feature that allows users to teach the tool what a correct part looks like. This enables compact, fast, and reliable error detection processes . Thanks to its integrated fail-safe, Magswitch's electrically actuated automation line significantly improves process reliability and efficiency.

SWL – Maximum Workload
SWL (Safe Working Load) = Maximum force⁵ / Safety factor (≥ 5)
(Note: The permissible working load is significantly lower than the pull-out force.)
Footnotes
- Tested under laboratory conditions on 2" thick SAE1018 steel with 63 microinch surface roughness and optimized pole shoes.
- All data is based on tools with flat pole shoes .
- Defined with SAE1018 steel plates (200 × 200 mm).
- Values may vary by ±5%.
- Maximum forces are not safe H
