Product catalog summary

Sensors with Integral Softline Cable

Introduction:
This document discusses the importance of sealing cables to sensors in dusty or wet environments to prevent contamination. Sensors with integral softline cables are highlighted as an ideal solution for such conditions.

Specifications:
IMI Sensors offers various integral cable options, identifiable by the fifth character in the model number. Table 1 provides a detailed explanation of connector/cable types based on this character.

Applications:
Three standard options for integral softline cables are available, each suited for specific applications:

Unarmored, Polyurethane-Jacketed Cable: Suitable for general applications below 250°F without exposure to caustic elements.
Unarmored, PTFE-Jacketed Cable: Ideal for environments between 250-392°F or with exposure to caustic elements.
Armored, Polyurethane-Jacketed Cable: Designed for environments where the cable may be pierced or crushed.

Table 2 lists specific applications for each cable type.

Characteristics:
Table 3 outlines the characteristics of the three cable types, including temperature range, bend radius, weight, conductor configuration, insulation, shield, and armor.

Manufacturing Process:
The document describes the manufacturing process to ensure a water/dust-tight seal between the sensor and cable. This involves securely fastening the raw cable to a stainless steel tube, wiring conductors, and welding the assembly to the sensor housing. For armored cables, additional steps are taken to attach the armor for complete protection.

Conclusion:
The document emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate cable type for specific applications to ensure optimal performance and protection.

SENSORS WITH INTEGRAL SOFTLINE CABLE Article by: Meredith Christman, Product Marketing Manager, IMI division of PCB Piezotronics, Depew, New York In dusty or wet vibration monitoring applications, sealing of the cable to the sensor is of prime importance in order to avoid contamination of the sensor/cable connection. In these types of environments, sensors with an integral softline cable are an ideal solution as they eliminate the possibility of liquid or particulate infiltration. Most accelerometers, vibration transmitters and smart switches produced by IMI Sensors have several integral cable...
