FG40 is an electro-permanent magnet (EPM) designed for aerospace, robotic, and industrial applications. It combines the advantages of electro- and permanent magnets by being able to switch between the on-state and off-state on demand (like an electromagnet); while consuming zero power in either state (like a permanent magnet).

The device supports the following communication interfaces: 

• Cyphal/CAN FD control with diagnostic telemetry;
• RCPWM control input (A-suffix models only);
• voltage level control input (A-suffix models only);

To get started, explore various application examples or refer to the quickstart guide.

For more information, consult the reference manual.

Variants

• FG401M - optimized for cost-sensitive applications.
• FG401MA - for systems without CAN bus; supports RCPWM and voltage level control/feedback.
• FG402M - optimized for mission-critical applications.

Applications

• Magnetic locks, clamps, and holders.
• Payload attachment in vehicles, drones, and robots.
• Quick-assemble structures.
• Quick-release batteries in EVs and drones.
• Workholding in CNC machines.
• End-of-arm tooling (EOAT).
• Steel surface climbing legged robots.

Testimonials

“FluxGrip’s holding force exceeds the published spec, making it a perfect match for our robots. Integration was straightforward, and Zubax’s technical support has been exemplary. We recommend FluxGrip without reservation.”
  Miguel Serrano (CEO of INSTOR Projetos e Robotica)

“FluxGrip worked well with our trailer design for our ground vehicle. It was very easy to set up, just like a regular servo. The holding force is top notch and it never failed to grip any item at any terrain.”
  Mark Austria (CS Student at California State University, Long Beach)
