Zubax FluxGrip FG40 EPM

Zubax FluxGrip FG40 EPM

Zubax FluxGrip FG40 EPM is an electro-permanent magnet designed for aerospace and robotic 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 a variety of communication interfaces that enable easy integration into any end system.

Zubax FluxGrip FG40 EPM follows high safety and reliability standards that ensure dependable operation in hostile environments.

Features

• Strong magnet in a very compact and lightweight form-factor.
• Zero power consumption in either on or off state.
• Fast on↔off state transition in approx. 1 second.
• Low (de-)magnetization energy consumption.
• Entirely solid-state construction, no moving parts inside.
• IP68 rated — dust-tight, submersible.
• AEC-Q grade 2 electronics.
• Resistant to vibration, mechanical stress, high and low temperatures, electromagnetic interference, humidity, dust, and some aggressive chemicals.
• Wide power supply voltage range ensures trivial integration into the end system.
• Compatible with industry-standard interfaces:
  • Cyphal/CAN FD control with diagnostic telemetry;
  • RCPWM control input;
  • voltage level control input.

Variants

Three types of EPM are available:

• FG40-1M – optimized for cost-sensitive applications.
• FG40-1MA – nearly a drop-in replacement for OpenGrab EPM v3.
• FG40-2M – optimized for mission-critical applications due to doubly-redundant CAN FD interface.
