We used to hear the business buzz about “Bigger is Better”. Well, not when it comes to manufacturing. In manufacturing it is about the ever-smaller mechanical, electronic products and devices. Yet the power needs are just the same or more. Look no further than the Sealcon M12 Power Circular Connector. This compact and powerful M12 size connector is well suited for power transmissions.
These connectors can be found in many applications like factory automation, measurement and control, food and beverage, transportation, agriculture, robotics, and alternative energy. This M12 circular connector is defined by its very high-power transfer (up to 630V and 16A) combined with a compact design. The M12 also has temperature ranges of -40°F to 257°F with K, L, S, and T codings available.
The manufacturing world is seeking an ever-smaller footprint and Sealcon's M12 Circular Connectors are right at home. The 360° shielding guarantees reliable EMI (EMC) protection with a Max Cable Diameter of 0.43″ (11 mm).

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
