1. Supporting documents
NOTE:
The following documents are available for download on our website. Only the documents currently available on
the website are valid.
• Catalog
• Drawings, performance data, information about accessory parts, etc.
• Technical data (data sheets)
• General terms and conditions, including warranty information
2. Proper use
NOTE:
The magnetic grippers of the HM1000 series may only be used in their original state, with original accessories,
without any unauthorized changes and within the scope of their dened parameters for use.
Zimmer GmbH accepts no liability for any damage caused by improper use
The magnetic grippers of the HM1000 series are based on the eect of a permanent magnet. This gripper may only be used to
handle workpieces made of ferromagnetic materials. Handling workpieces that generate their own active electromagnetic eld or
themselves act as a permanent magnet may lead to malfunctions and therefore is regarded as improper use.
3. Function
The magnetic grippers of the HM1000 series generate the gripping force, referred to here as the adhesive force, by means of a
permanent magnet.
A demagnetized contact plate provides for process-reliable depositing of the workpieces. The residual holding force is less than 1 N.
A spring holds the permanent magnet in the working position. A single-acting pneumatic cylinder moves the permanent magnet into the
detachment position only to deposit the workpiece. This means that only one pneumatic power supply line is needed for the gripper.

Information:
The adhesive forces depend on the surface quality and material thickness of the workpieces to be handled.
As a rule: "The rougher the surface, the lower the residual adhesive forces."
"The lower the material thickness, the lower the holding forces."

The holding force depends on the ferromagnetic properties of the workpieces being handled.
Assuming a holding force of 100% for technically pure iron, the following materials may be assumed to have:
St37: 0.94% / St34: 0.82% / St50: 0.75% / St70: 0.7% / 20MnCr5: 0.5% / Cast iron: 0.3%
Warning:
The magnetic gripper contains a permanent magnet. The magnetic eld can pose a health hazard to persons with
electronic implants (such as a pacemaker).
► Health hazard
► Avoid staying within the eective range of the magnetic eld
Danger:
Unintended ignition sources can arise from the magnetic eld. For this reason, use within potentially explosive
environments is not permitted.
► Risk of fatal injury

5. Installation
► The dimensions for a particular mounting piece 2 can be taken from the
drawings on the product data sheets.
The product data sheets and CAD data are available on our website,
www.zimmer-group.de, in all common data formats
The drawing to the right shows the HM1078 as an example
The mounting piece 2 shown to the right is a ball joint and is
available as an accessory matching the gripper
► Observe the permitted tightening torque (see Tab. Technical data)
► The gripper is aligned on the mounting piece using a centering disk 3 that
matches the gripper and is also available as an accessory.
► Establish the pneumatic connection (see Tab. Technical data)

5.1 Installation of HM1030
Information:
The HM1030 gripper is unique. Due to its small size, it is mounted and connected
to the pneumatic system by a central, threaded Ø M10 stem, which also contains a
pneumatic ØM5 connection.

5.2 Transport lock for HM 1078 and HM1097
A transport lock 4 holds the permanent magnet in the retracted position during
transportation and storage to protect against the escaping magnetic eld.
This transport lock must be removed before the unit is rst put into operation.
► Pressurize the gripper with at least 3 bar
► Unscrew the transport lock 4
► Close the now open hole with the included dummy plug em

6. Maintenance
► The magnetic grippers of the HM1000 series are maintenance-free for up to 5 million gripping cycles.
Even though the magnetic grippers are, as mentioned, maintenance-free, perform a regular visual inspection to check for
any corrosion, damage and contamination.
Clean the magnetic gripper as needed using a commercially available machine cleaning agent and then apply an anti-
corrosion agent to the housing.
INFORMATION:
Complete disassembly of the magnetic gripper for gasket maintenance is possible after 5 million cycles
only at Zimmer.
