Lumberg Automation™
Eight-Pole M8 Actuator/
Sensor Connectors
Belden sets another milestone
in the field of connection
technology with the world’s
first family of M8 eight-pole
connectors from Lumberg
Automation.
With the Lumberg Automation brand’s new
eight-pole M8 actuator/sensor connectors, it
is now possible to transmit up to eight signals
with only one connector using an external
power supply. This is particularly advantageous
when connecting optoelectronic sensors
or safety switches in applications such as
monitoring safety doors on machinery and
equipment.
The product range offers an ideal solution
for virtually every installation scenario. The
connectors are available in molded cable
versions as well as receptacles and inserts. All
models are suitable for use in temperature
ranges from -25°C to +80°C and when
connected to their respective counterparts are
compliant with IP 67 protection standards.
The molded connectors have an open cable
end, allowing the connection of sensors or
actuators to switch cabinets or distribution
boxes while ensuring a high degree of wiring
exibility. The male connector is equipped
with a snap-in/threaded joint and the female
connector has a self-locking threaded joint.
The receptacle connector RSMF 8/0.5 M has
stranded wires, solder contacts, and a potted
housing. These receptacles are ideally suited
for use in switch cabinets or other machinery
equipment. Conversely, the RSMEDG 8 is
ideally suited for installation in sensors and is
easy to install by means of a snap-in/threaded
joint. An additional plug insert (RSEM 8) is
available for various sensor housings that
already have an M8 thread and/or snap-in
joint. The housings of receptacle connectors
are made of nickel-plated brass (RSMF 8/0.5 M
and RSMEDG 8) or polyamide (RSEM 8).
