About this product
The PLUG-AND-PLAY E30 (PPe30) from Magswitch boasts a quick set-up process, high breakaway forces, and more mounting interfaces as part of the latest generation of Magswitch E-Tools.
These electrically actuated magnetic grippers are great for use in fixtures, in bin picking, and as end-of-arm tools. They are operated directly from a standard I/O block.
Custom pole shoe geometry is available upon request for the handling of non-flat or irregularly shaped surfaces.
With part-present sensing and a magnet that won’t let go if power is lost, the Magswitch PLUG-AND-PLAY electric line of automation tools changes the way things are done!

FAQs
Answers to common questions about Magswitch PPe30 and PPe50 magnetic tools.
PPe30 and PPe50 are designed for standard 24 V DC industrial I/O and can be integrated with most robot and PLC I/O blocks that support discrete inputs and outputs.
They are intended to be plug-and-play with common cobots and automation controllers using standard industrial connectors.
Rated holding forces are defined in the official PPe30 and PPe50 spec sheets. Customers should size using those values with appropriate safety factors.
- PPe50 Maximum Breakaway: 536.0 N (120.5 lbf / 54.6 kgf)
- PPe30 Maximum Breakaway: 117.6 N (26.4 lbf / 12 kgf)
PPe30
- Start-up time: 1 second
- Max actuation ON/OFF: 350 ms each
PPe50
- Start-up time: 1 second
- Actuate ON time: 700 ms on-target, 900 ms off-target
- Actuate OFF time: 375 ms
The magnet is stable in both the ON and OFF state. If the magnet is ON when power is lost, it will remain ON and not release a target.
Connectors A and C are required for operation.
Connector B is required for part-present sensing.
- Connector B provides part-present status
- Output is High when a part is present and Low when no part is present
- The magnet must be actuated for part detection
- The tools detect part presence for targets 0.3 mm or thicker
