Screened ecolink M12 cables for machine tools

Protecting sensitive signals

In industrial production facilities, screened connection cables are indispensable for the transmission of analogue sensor signals, as these are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Sources of interference such as machines and frequency converters can cause signal noise or distortion, which can falsify measured data. Screening protects the signals from such influences, ensuring precise data transmission. This is essential to ensure controller accuracy, production quality and operational safety.

What makes ecolink special

ecolink is a connector solution developed by ifm that stands out for its excellent reliability and durability. Thanks to its sophisticated design, the seal remains reliable over time, even with toolless mounting. A mechanical end stop protects against over-tightening and, together with the integral O-ring, provides for optimum sealing. What is more, a vibration protection with saw-tooth contour ensures that the nut remains securely fixed even under shock and vibration loads. ecolink stands for quality and safety in demanding industrial applications and is compatible with industrial M8 and M12 connections.
