Product Description
The Magswitch 8140263 (M30AY ASC) is a pneumatically actuated switchable magnetic gripper from the AY (Array) series, designed for industrial automation end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), de-stacking, and flat steel sheet handling applications. It employs an Alternating Star Configuration (ASC) shallow-field magnetic array, where a single pneumatic actuator simultaneously engages all magnets in the array, delivering superior holding force on thin-gauge steel. This unit has been classified as a Legacy/discontinued product by Magswitch and is no longer in active production.
