Cable clamps provide fast, versatile setup
Using just two fasteners and a self-locating sliding top clamp, single or multiple cable arrangements can be connected to a mounting plate in a matter of seconds.
Suction systems clear challenging substances
Ringler suction extraction devices can remove metal chip cuttings, including very hot materials, together with granulate, gravel, sludge, water, coolant and oils.
The SKL range of spring clamps can be supplied in seven sizes covering cable shield diameters from 1.5 to 29mm.
With a simple push-in cable installation, these products provide a large contact surface area and offer economy as well as convenience.
They can be supplied with snap-on feet for assembly to 35mm DIN rails (shape H).
Alternatively, they can be fixed to separate subplates using a single-hole mounting clip.
For maximum convenience with close grouped cables, custom-designed clamp collectors can be provided, pre-fitted with appropriate sizes and numbers of cable clips.
The SK range of clamps incorporates coil springs to provide a constant clamping pressure on the cable.
These products offer greater range-taking capabilities for cable diameters from 3 to 20mm.
They can be supplied suitable for direct mounting to earthing strips, or with snap-on or screw foot connections to DIN rails (shapes H and C).
For multiple EMC cable installations the KAFM cable collectors can be supplied.
These comprise stainless steel cable collector strips for the direct drain of interference on cable shields.
They can be supplied for cable runs from two to 59 cables.
They can be used with snap-on or clip-on fixings for 35mm DIN rails (shape H), together with a clip-on option for a 30mm DIN rail (shape C).
An 8mm long bush for flexible fitting to an alternative substrate can also be supplied.
In all cases cables are assembled to the collector strips with cable ties.
A cable entry system for pre-fabricated EMC shielded cables can also be supplied, together with appropriate strain relief plates.
These eliminate the need for an EMC cable gland and enable retro-fitting without shield interruption.
