binder USA Introduces M8 Connector with New 360° Shielding for Sensor and Robotic Applications

Binder USA, LP, expanded its Series 718 portfolio with a compact molded M8 circular connector. The connector features a new type of 360° EMC shielding, used for the first time in this environment. This shielding ensures exceptionally reliable protection against EMI in even the most challenging environments, making binder's new connector ideal for use in sophisticated sensor and machine vision technologies, as well as conveyer systems, robotics, and other industrial applications. The new M8 cable connector is among binder's smaller size and lighter weight offerings, providing an option for applications with high performance needs where space is limited (and will likely decrease even more in the future). As with many binder products, this connector can be customized.

Highlights include:

• binder series: 718
• Pin counts: 3, 4, 6 or 8
• Degree of protection: IP67
• Lifetime > 100 mating cycles
• Cable: PVC or PUR (length customized per customer requirements)
• Rated voltage and current:
o 60 V and 2A up to 4A for 3-pin and 4-pin versions (depending on the conductor cross-section)
o 30 V and 1.5 A for 6-pin and 8-pin designs

binder is currently developing a 12-pin M8 connector, ideal for measuring equipment and automation applications.

Featured Product

Line Vac™ Family

Line Vac™ Family

A fast, low cost way to convey plastic pellets, scrap trim, textiles, bulk solids, food products, chips, paper, pills/tablets, small parts, shavings, sawdust and granules. EXAIR's compressed air operated Line Vac connects to standard hose or tube to create a powerful in-line conveyor. The compact design features large throat diameters for maximum throughput capability. Eleven sizes in aluminum and ten in stainless steel are suited to a wide variety of transfer applications. Line Vac conveyors are ideal for moving large volumes of material over long distances. A small amount of compressed air is injected through directed nozzles to produce a vacuum on one end and high output flows on the other, with instantaneous response. The material flow rate is easily controlled with a pressure regulator. No moving parts or electricity assures maintenance free operation. https://exair.co/184_564 See our Line Vac Promotion running now. http://www.exair.com/184/lvpromo.htm
