Industrial accelerometer cables

Product catalog summary
Overview: Wilcoxon offers a comprehensive range of custom cables designed to meet specific industrial needs, including applications in predictive maintenance, condition-based monitoring, military, maritime, transportation, and underwater environments. The cables are built to withstand harsh conditions such as chemicals, temperatures, and physical hazards.
Specifications: The document outlines various cable types and their applications, including spiral armored jackets for impact protection, stainless overbraid for abrasion resistance, and multi-conductor shielded cables for minimizing electrical noise. Coaxial cables are highlighted for their power and signal carrying capabilities.
Cable Design and Protection: Different shielding options are discussed, such as foil and braided shielding, to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Environmental resistance is addressed with materials like Teflon® for high temperature and chemical resistance, PVC for moderate resistance, and polyurethane for waterproof applications.
Connectors: The document details various connector types, including MIL-style, multi-conductor, and coaxial connectors, emphasizing their ruggedness and suitability for different environments. MaxFlex™ cables are specifically designed for data collectors, offering extended life and excellent EMI/RFI shielding.
Installation and Tools: Wilcoxon provides tool kits for field assembly of connectors, including crimp and solder kits for high-temperature applications. The importance of proper grounding to avoid ground loops is emphasized, with recommendations for shielding and grounding practices.
IP Ratings: The document explains Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, which indicate the level of protection against solid objects and liquids. Wilcoxon’s connectors, such as the 6SL, have high IP ratings, making them suitable for harsh environments but not for immersion.
Technical Tips: Guidelines for determining maximum cable lengths based on capacitance and voltage swing are provided, along with a chart for reference. The document also includes recommendations for avoiding ground loops and ensuring proper cable shield terminations.
Contact Information: Wilcoxon Research Inc. provides contact details for customer support and further inquiries.

Environmental resistance Description Application example Teflon® Best temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance. Usually the cable jacket choice for the connection to the sensor, Teflon® cable jackets withstand up to 260¢ªC temperatures, making Teflon® ideal for hot environments. PVC Moderate chemical resistance. PVC provides a low cost alternative for dry air installations. Enviroprene Good chemical resistance in non-abrasive environments. Useful in most environments, a low-cost Enviroprene cable jacket protects against common exposures, such as UV rays in an outdoor cable tray installation...

Industrial accelerometer cables-5

Cable and connector selection Cable length An accelerometer cable can be run one hundred feet without losing most signals. The exact length can be determined knowing the cable capacitance (30 picoFarads per foot is common) and the available voltage swing (typically at least 5V peak to peak). Given these values, the mazimum length is a function of supply current and highest frequency of interest. The chart to the right helps determine maximum cable lengths. Note: Graph values assume cable capacitance of 30pF/ft and an available voltage swing of 5Vp-p. (I) represents current available to power...
