Hansford Sensors Industrial Cable Types

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

Hansford Sensors offers a wide range of high-performance cables specifically designed to ensure accurate data transmission from vibration sensors (accelerometers) to monitoring systems in harsh industrial environments. These cables are manufactured to withstand mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures.

Key Cable Types and Their Applications

<!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->

1. FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Cables

FEP cables are known for their excellent resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. They are ideal for applications where the sensor is exposed to oils, solvents, or heat.

  • Temperature Range: -80°C to +200°C.
  • Key Feature: Low capacitance and high dielectric strength, ensuring signal integrity over long distances.

2. PU (Polyurethane) Cables

PU cables are highly flexible and resistant to abrasion, making them suitable for mobile industrial equipment or environments where cables are frequently moved.

  • Temperature Range: -40°C to +90°C.
  • Key Feature: Excellent mechanical durability and resistance to microbial growth and hydrolysis.

3. Silicone Cables

Known for their extreme flexibility, silicone cables are used in applications requiring high heat resistance where FEP might be too rigid.

  • Temperature Range: -50°C to +200°C.
  • Key Feature: High flexibility and flame retardancy.

4. Braided Stainless Steel Armor

For heavy-duty industrial environments, Hansford Sensors provides cables with stainless steel overbraiding.

  • Purpose: Protects the internal cable from physical damage, sharp objects, and rodents.
  • Application: Mining, steel mills, and heavy manufacturing plants.

Connection Options

<!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->

Hansford Sensors cables can be customized with various connector types to suit specific industrial requirements:

  • MIL-C-5015: Standard threaded connectors for secure industrial vibration monitoring.
  • M12 Connectors: Compact and widely used in automation systems.
  • BNC Connectors: Typically used for portable data collectors and vibration analyzers.

Technical Considerations

<!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  • Shielding: Most Hansford cables feature braided shielding to prevent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which is critical for low-level vibration signals.
  • Fire Safety: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) options are available for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent.
  • Waterproofing: Cables with IP67 or IP68 ratings are available for submerged or high-humidity applications.
