Roxtec HD transits are designed for applications with high cable density and high demands. One cut-out for a Roxtec HD (high density) transit can accommodate up to 41 armored or non-armored cables, drastically reducing the amount of space required when compared to 41 cable glands. Use them in terminal boxes, cabinets, enclosures and remote I/O panels to improve space efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
With the LFC cable shield clamp the cable shield is directly contacted at the C-rail. Your existing cable clamp can still be used for strain relief. The shield clamps SKL / MSKL are easy to use and effective in earthing single cable shields.
Rittalnow offers a special adapter that retrofits comprehensive communications capabilities to ensure that customers can integrate existing Blue e cooling units intocondition monitoring and IoT systems. Smart manufacturing is driven by the rise of technology; digital retrofit may be the most economical solution when a company’s equipment lacks adequate communication capabilities.
The SDS-3008 smart Ethernet switch is the ideal product for IA engineers and automation machine builders to make their networks compatible with the vision of Industry 4.0. By breathing life into machines and control cabinets, the smart switch simplifies daily tasks with its easy configuration and easy installation. In addition, it is monitorable and is easy to maintain throughout the entire product life cycle.
Multi-conductor flexible control cable from AutomationDirect is now available in 20 AWG unshielded models with 3 to 25 conductors including ground. Existing gauge sizes are available from 18 AWG to 10 AWG with 3 to 41 unshielded or shielded conductors including ground wire.
Ready for compact installations, a new model completes WAGO’s series of current transformers with voltage taps. In addition to the 50 mm2 (1/0 AWG) and 95 mm2 (4/0 AWG) versions, a current transformer with voltage tap for WAGO’s 185 mm2 (350 kcmil) through terminal block is now also available, making it perfect for measuring energy in small spaces.
Quick-disconnect cables have a 3, 4 or 5-socket M8 female connector on one end and 3, 4 or 5 open leads on the other end to provide fast and easy connection between field devices and terminal connections. A “lock in place” nickel plated brass or zinc coupling nut resists high levels of shock and vibration.
At this year’s Light+Building, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is introducing LData, a busbar trunking system specially designed for data centers wanting to improve their efficiency, availability and adaptability. The more internet traffic, mobile users as well as Internet of Things connections increase, the more data has to be processed. That is why high-performance data centers are emerging as the backbone of a digital society. These data centers must offer the highest degree of availability to protect critical data as well as business-critical applications and industrial processes.
On January 23, 2020 the international standard for Single Pair Ethernet interfaces in industrial applications was published with IEC 63171-6. The editor is the IEC committee SC 48B copper connectors. The mating face standard IEC 63171-6 T1 Industrial® Style was the first standard submitted by HARTING to SC 48B for a Single Pair Ethernet mating face as early as 2016. “This early initiative is now paying off and 2020 users finally have a reliable investment basis for future-proof IIoT networks based on Single Pair Ethernet”, explains Ralf Klein, Managing Director of HARTING Electronics.
Remee Wire & Cable, a high-integrity manufacturer of electronic wire and cable for reliable performance, recently announced new custom design and manufacturing capabilities for cable products. Known for its breadth of capabilities and service to accommodate the manufacture of custom cable designs, Remee has recently added capabilities to make hybrid composite constructions with fiber optic and copper cable under one jacket.
Wherever cables with or without connectors, conduits or pneumatic hoses have to be routed into machines, enclosures or control panels and sealed with IP54, the cable entry system KEL-QUICK is an outstanding alternative to cable glands. Especially for applications that do not necessarily require standard-compliant strain relief acc. to EN 62444, the KEL-QUICK is the perfect solution.
Phoenix Contact is now also supplying its modular ICS series DIN rail housings in an overall width of 50 mm. The new electronics housings accommodate up to four printed circuit boards, making them suitable for even more powerful automation concepts such as I/O groups.
TE Connectivity is once again expanding its M12 portfolio with A-, B- and D-coded versions of the right-angle connector. The new products come just a few months after TE introduced connectors with eight and 12 pin positions for direct mounting onto PCBs and panels.
The new, only 3.5 mm-wide PTIO 1,5 initiator/actuator terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are particularly suitable for wiring your modern machine controls. They offer you the option of connecting sensors with two signal outputs in a space-saving manner.
