Solenoid Armature with Ceramic Tip (KHG-4051)
Precision glue-head armature for Baumer hhs and compatible systems
Overview
The KHG-4051 is a solenoid armature with a high-precision ceramic tip, designed for glue head parts in tobacco and packaging machinery. It is a replacement component for glue application heads and is suitable for Baumer hhs systems as well as other brand types.
In high-cycle gluing, the armature and nozzle tip are among the first parts to wear. Replacing a worn assembly with a ceramic-tipped armature helps maintain a stable glue pattern and reduces unplanned stops.

Why a ceramic tip?
The tip is the point where glue is metered and released. A technical ceramic tip offers high hardness and wear resistance, so the outlet geometry stays stable through repeated actuation. That stability supports consistent dot and bead placement and helps extend service intervals compared with a worn metal tip.
The ceramic tip is also chemically inert in typical adhesive environments, which makes it suitable for production lines where the glue head is cleaned and cycled continuously.
Materials and construction
- Body: 400-series stainless steel, selected for corrosion resistance and the magnetic response required by solenoid actuation.
- Tip: high-precision technical ceramic, matched to the glue passage and seat.
- Assembly: the tip is located and fixed to maintain alignment with the glue head and nozzle seat.
The body and tip are supplied as one armature assembly. The part number KHG-4051 identifies the complete assembly for reordering.
Compatibility
KHG-4051 is intended for glue head parts and is compatible with Baumer hhs equipment. It can also be supplied for other glue-head brand types where the mounting and glue passage match.
Before ordering, confirm the existing part number, machine model, and glue-head model. If the marking is unreadable, a photo of the old armature and the glue head is usually enough to check compatibility.
Applications
- Cigarette making and filter-tipping glue application
- Tobacco packing and cartoning lines
- Glue heads on packaging and labeling machinery
- Replacement of worn armatures in high-cycle adhesive systems

Installation notes
- Isolate power and compressed air before opening the glue head.
- Remove the old armature and clean the seat without scratching the ceramic or metal sealing surfaces.
- Fit KHG-4051 in the original orientation and confirm free movement.
- Reconnect air and power, then check the glue pattern on a test piece.
- Do not strike or pry the ceramic tip; it is hard but brittle.
Always follow the glue-head manufacturer’s service procedure where available.
